What a waste of time this game was, another game decided by the dice.  Just like monopoly no skill just 100% luck.

Want a re-match and hope we get a game decided by skill instead of luck?

Thank you for the game. I find your conclusion of the game to be a bad reflection of actual events. If you look back at the game you often left yourself in positions where a 50/50 battle could take place, as the allies I decided to risk it in several of these cases and in a few cases it went well for me. The same can be said for risks you took like hen you sunk the allied fleet off London the odds were actually very against you and that went great for you. To say that it was 100% dice and no skill is offensive to me as a player. So again thank you for the game but I am not interested in a rematch.
