Cr, fgt, fgt & then the two CV hits……

@miamiumike:

MY god - screw this.

hit all 4, I presume?

@miamiumike:

3 of 4 - and then Italy whiffs with 2 ftr and a bomber - twice - in other words, I got diced - again - every game - all the time. Its like clockwork. I cannot even enjoy this game anymore when the dice are like this. Its BS.

it can be very frustrating…I think all of us “regulars” feel it. It’s especially hard during T1 as some conflicts must be made w/out longer term planning.

@miamiumike:

I’d just like to play a game where the outcome isn’t decided before the end of the first turn due to dice. It is hard for the dice to ‘even out’, when the game is already over.

one thing I noticed about this game (G40) is even if there is bad dice, if the dice don’t even out, that your opponent skill level can still mean you can “pull one out” and with the mistakes I make on a regular basis, there is always hope!! :lol:

@miamiumike:

Hey there - I assumed no scramble in 110, given that it was 4 on 2 - and I had 2 soaks…

If need be, I can add in your fighter

MM

yeah no problem….I guess you made up for some earlier bad luck with dice…my navies, didn’t hit anything…
