As soon as Russia and India fall, I will resign…  Really played Brits poorly.  Pretty much gave away the carrier/transport/fighter, would have been better served hitting the Japan navy with it and taking my chances…  Still learning…  that I absolutely HATE dice…  :-o

Halfway there.

[Cow]

Little bunny fuufuu hopping through the forest scooping up all the allies and bopping them on their heads. Then down comes the good fairy Hitler and he says, “keep bopping those allies on their heads.”

Moral of the story “Keep on bopping!”

[CrayzKirk]

Nice of my British Allies to miss 5 inf, 2 art totally.  The only 4 letter word I can think of for that is GOLF…

[Cow]

God Offers Love and Forgiveness.

[CrayzKirk]

Really?  that sounds like something made up by a bunch of Business Majors.  WooHoo!  After the last 1/3^7 that missed, can we just call this.  How do I surrender?  My self-esteem is about as low as it can go.  pffft…  How about a nice game of ping pong?

[CrayzKirk]

I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.  I SURRENDER.  YOU WIN.

[CrayzKirk]

And I will continue to try Allies+12…  Russian Bomber

[Cow]

gg

[CrayzKirk]

It really wasn’t…  And I thank you for showing more of the reasons that the game is unplayable.  Shame on them for making a game like this and shame on us for paying $60 for another tweak in the Revised game.

I’m here to find a way to get my friends to play again.  I hear talk about how a single bomber can make a difference for Russia and yet, I see no way that the Allies can win if the Axis play by a very simple tactic.  Infantry + air.

As I said before, Interesting…  I will see if I can keep Russia from being such a target on the first move.  The only battle that didn’t go well for the Axis was 2 sub vs 1 dst, 2 trn.  Everything else was gravy.

[CrayzKirk]

What is the chance of missing 7 rolls which each have an expected outcome of 1/3?

is it 2/3^7?  or 9.1449474165523548239597622313672e-4

I hate statistics and those that use them…  :evil:
