@Shin:

I don’t see how it was shaky.  If I had missed with both, and you hit with both (unlikely), then we’d be in 50/50 territory.  Perhaps I’m more of a risk taker than I realized.  You’re not the first to tell me so!

:-D

I had it on 86/6/8 (not sure if the calculator messes something up with the sub though). so 14% of failure or to lose valuable ships is significant to me. I am rather risk averse. And I was rather whining about not taking a single ship down in 21 and about total of 3 hits below average.
Early dice matter most and take it as a compliment, the more I am complaining the more I see my party in trouble :)

[Shin-Ji]

Oh, I hear you!  I’m not complaining at all.  I’m picking your brain.  You’re rated quite a bit higher than I am, so I’m seeing what I might be overlooking.

Comeon. This game seems blessed for the Axis. Any single battle WAY above average for the Axis :(

[JDOW]

Well, 1.5 above average survivors. Not a super big deal but for one time I was hoping the Germans don’t have above average dice, again I got disappointed.

Looks like this game won’t last long. Still, the shot on Londo is probably something I do not offer again unless I want to gamble. I probably leave the mech inf home the next time.

Let’s see if there is anything left to do for the Allies.

[Shin-Ji]

Sometimes the RNG likes me!  What can I say?

:-D

If you’d like, we can skip to the rematch with flipped sides.

[JDOW]

Well, Ill play on for a while and in case we do a rematch I would certainly keep the same sides.

Game makes me superstitious. My stubborn demand to keep the “G1 according to the rules” got Karma-backfired. I should just let such things happen more generously :)
