15L G40 Me1945 (Axis) vs. hobo (Allies +16)

[hobo]

need scramble orders for novgorod and ool for egypt, I assume you just want best def for egypt but it’s almost a coin flip so I need to know which fighters do you prefer keeping in case you come out ahead.

[Me1945]

I would also love to save the Ger inf. Let’s go step by step and see your rolls first.
No scramble.

[hobo]

6 hits total first round

[Me1945]

Lose 4 Italian land units and 2 Ger tactical

[hobo]

my luck is acting up again, 3 hits in second round  :|

[Me1945]

Lose 3 Italian ftrs pls.

[hobo]

7 hits for you, I swear just ONCE I’d like to get average dice rolls in some major battles, marti is kicking my ass in a lot of these games.

[Me1945]

I am sorry, Hobo. As far as I remember Russians rolled above average in the important Bry battles - would that lessen the anger?

not angry at you, just pissed at marti’s non-random rolls which I have noted forever now. I’m sure if you played enough games you’ve noticed marti rolls strings of numbers instead of random, so you will see a lot of lows or a lot of highs, or even strings of the same number way too often.  for example just this round, the first round in sz125 I rolled 6 6 6.  in the last round you rolled for your last 6 dice, 3 4 3 3 2 3 3.  so far this game wasn’t really too horrible but you should see my other games.  I’ve seen 6-7 of the same dice rolled far too often for probability to justify.  that’s why I prefer playing low luck using marti.

also that bryansk battle you came out 1 unit down on average, well within the mean for the amount of dice rolled in that battle.  in the prior round when I attacked belarus, I got totally hozed in the first round so the bryansk battle following should have been more of a toss up, but I actually wanted you to attack so I could wipe out whatever land units were left.

[Me1945]

We can play LL next game, if you wish.

sure, makes the “game” less stressful for me usually  :lol:
