SONOFA….  :x :x

allies steal 3 more with the z97 sub on top of all the other dice.  well, the dice bit us hard in the A$$ there dutch, sorry you have a partner with a LONG dark history of terrible dice.  :lol:

@DutchmanD:

Ridiculous bad dice.  4 hits out of 4 in Iraq…  :x

even worse, was expecting to lose 0-1 ftrs in gib and lost THREE.  :x

incredible british defense numbers.  9 of 20 dice were ones.  i don’t know how it always happens to me.  :lol:

there is one noncombat alteration i need to make i believe, will post very shortly.

originally wasn’t planning to do this, but after that devastation, i am going to.

well if your plan was to put some juicy targets out there and hope the dice kicked me in the nuts, it worked…  :-P

@alexgreat:

wow, 8 complaining posts in a row. You done yet?  :wink:

What does it matter to you, you won already, anyway, according to Bold.

ha, not even dice that good can save you… so what does that say?  :wink:

typical for me - it’s called the curse of being clever.  come up with a plan that should cut deep but the dice heavily reverse the fortunes.  Atlanta axis knows what i’m talking about…  :-P

but yeah, i’m over my frustration.  fortunately we can afford
a fair amount of misfortune given our position.  let’s see what
the russians do.

@Cow:

That is lots of complaining for dice that was not that bad.

yeah but then again if the dice go the other direction, maybe they wave the white flag, which is what i had in mind.

it’s behind us, the dice are the dice.  let’s rock!  :-)

our pace has definitely picked up.  i think Russia to Russia that time took 4 days….  6 more days left!

does trajan have a JOB too  :?  geez jobs are so inconvenient  :|

Last weekend we have.  I will make myself available to make moves with an hour of any move you make.

@allweneedislove:

only 5 days left in round 4 of the tournament.

ancients, please try to play as fast as possible. this is still a close game that will have to go to decision. the more rounds played the better.

i got all excited when i saw there was a post…  alas, it was just for a time warning.  :|
