XDAP - 02 Final Draft (Axis) vs Dairy Qryn (Allies)

What cowardly remarks and poor sportism.

Dice whining never saved anyone thier game.

I don’t see any validity to your complaint Cow,

50% of your aa’s hit on london, and I believe you also scored a number of AA hits in Eastern Poland, a poorly designed defense, which still managed to secure the allies a decent showing.  Italy got diced hard in the med early, and with it’s landings / attacks.

The only reason Germany and Italy face the challenges they face currently, is because they are minus that -extra- unit or two.  A good player accepts that that’s reality, and moves forward - without complaint (observation is ok, but must consider the two way street).  It’s Axis and Allies man, it happens.

Belarus was awesome, but our dice weren’t much better than yours, 4 rounds at 10 attack power to kill 4 units…  that’s almost HALF the amount of hits we should have recieved?  Granted, you didn’t hit anything in return, so we can safely consider BOTH our dice bad.

If you lose this game, at no stage can you call it -bad luck-.  The luck is a piddalance when compared to the MOUNTAIN of strategic choices both sides have made, some good, some in error.

At BEST for you, you could argue the dice even, some observers would say though, that the rolls have 60/40 the allies way over the course of the game.  Look at the history and decide for yourself - and observe.  But don’t complain like a moo bag. ;)

I look forward to seeing Veqryn’s post!

Luck is when preparation meets oppurtunity.
