That I didn’t need to attack.
Yes it was greedy, but that is really horrible luck.
2.5% chance of losing (like in North Africa)
5% chance of losing both planes (China)Now the interesting part will be…. do you attack Yunnan now? And if so, do you get lucky or unlucky? If unlucky, then the unfortunate incident with ANZ turns out to be fortunate…
Decision forthcoming

2 fighters that I really needed for immediate defense, both times!! Which is why I shouldn’t have attacked or pressed.

Yes, intercept with 2 fighters

Holy moly! Prophetic words indeed! I don’t know what to tell you . . . really rough couple of turns for your air forces.
Air Battle in Russia

Russians launches 2 interceptors out of Russia

Air Battle is over, the remaining bombers go on to their targetsThat’s just flipping insane . … I’m trying to wrap my head around this. 6 fighters down for the price of an infantry.
-
I’ve been thinking about whether or not I should press there or not. I’m halfway tempted to just for the sole reason that I feel like I’m riding a lucky streak against you. And I’m also scared for that reason . . . when’s this going to even out. A huge fail there could more than make up for the other breaks I’ve caught so far.

I figured if I don’t send them up, I’m not giving myself a chance to make up for the bad luck.
Yeah, 6 fighters down and I didn’t have to expose a single one of them to you. Bad combination of horrible dice and ill-advised decisions. It’s OK, I probably still got you :-)
-
The French fought like French as usual, but it looks like I have bad-ass Russian ground units this game. I’ll take that.
-
And you got weak SBR damage, at least……
-
But this horrendous luck has got to stop. Nobody can win against sustained dice like that.
-
Yeah, I noticed that too. The subpar SBR damage probably helps some, but I’d rather do the subpar damage and claim the 2 fighters vs 0-1 fighters and max damage.

No DUH, Seth! Excuse me while I look for a silver lining somewhere!
-
Freaking Russian fortress was one bright spot (besides Yunnan, which is now extremely weakened) in this game and you go and shoot down both fighters and I get nothing. Freaking RIDICULOUS what is going on in this game.
This is where a guy has got to stay on his game and not let the torrent of stupid dice get into the psyche -
I only have a couple freaking Allied fighters on this freaking board! Ridiculous!! :x
-
5 1’s missed you, but 2/3 hit me. Sickening. Now I’m facing continued SBR with no defense, and you hardly EVER get hit by AA.
Dang it, I should have taken France like I almost did. You would have sent bombers to France because I would have had 6 units there. But of course, both counterattacks go rosy for you and you don’t even have to make a choice in South France - FRUSTRATING
