Wow… check out your dice in SZ97… I just got clubbed over the head. Never seen anything like it.

[Talleyrand19]

Damn, Italians fighting proudly…feel like I’ve gotten destroyed in some of my other games by crazy rolling like that. …it always sucks…too many statistical anomalies by TripleA dice

[Stalingradski]

I agree - A&A to me has always been a strategy game with dice, rather than a dice game with strategy. There’s a big difference between the two. This isn’t Risk, or Yahtzee. My hope is that it evens out over the game for both of us - the problem is, the timing of bad dice is critical. If it happens early and in certain battles, the game can basically be over.

I actually have come to like LL games…

Anyhow, your Italy now has three transports!  :evil:  I have to admit, in years of playing, I’ve never seen it. By the same token, I could have basically guaranteed both battles by leaving your German fleet alone… but who can resist a wounded battleship?

Game on!

Yeah I know what you mean about LL, the counter argument is it doesn’t make for risky decisions since they can never pay off…usually everything reverts to the mean, but sometimes you have to play a ton of games for it to do so
