Another 1% battle that we can’t afford. This one’s not meant to be.

At this point, kilroy and I both surrender.

Sorry we couldn’t make it more viable  :| Good luck in the next round.

@wheatbeer:

Thank you for the good wishes, I am sorry that the rolls turned out so terrible for you in the early game.

As the Axis, loosing battles that you should clearly win can have a devastating effect.  RGP and I took Axis in the last round and had an earily similar experience with luck…. we lost every major battle to the dice, even when the odds where way in our favor.

Let me know if you guys would like to do a rematch some time in a non-tournament game.

Yeah, after a brutal round and a half like that… just not in the cards! (or dice in this case…)

Thanks for the invite, we might just take you up on it.

Good luck in the next round.

I’d be up for a team game after you guys achieve glorious victory or dreaded extra death.
