really those freak results, I could do without them. Low luck is surely not the solution, but sometimes…  :)

My remark was not meant to decry unluckiness, we both had luck. Nobody can foretell big naval battles etc., but results like Hunan surely make every player shake their head simply because of the freaky unlikeliness - although clearly this has to happen from time to time and one just remembers if it went against one :)
