17L G40 BM JDOW (Allies) vs VonAlba (Axis)

Its incredible. Your ground units are just invincible.

You had bad dice in 111 and Morocco and my Anzac DD hit on the water.

I believe except that I have 0/20 @2 or so on the ground?

my whiffs really add up.

I mean, you had 111 and Morocco but you got the gift to lose no plane in 91 where you were supposed to lose 2-3 on average and had an almost 20-30% chance of a total disaster.
On the ground I had (including Morocco) 36 shots @2 and scored 6 hits total and 0/3 AA.

I am six!!! hits below average on the ground + 3 AA misses.

I also had the good French attack at Holland though, so I was not complaining. However with your continuously flawless Japan dice plus the rather poor Russian dice it is really getting annoying.

There seems to be something wrong with the gamefile you created.
We are supposed to play BM3, right?

You would get an NO for Iwo and Oki then for 3 IPC, right?

Also, there seems to be a bug with the US complexes, they did not get large, however this can be done manually.

Boy, what should I do against that Japan?

You are invincible when attacking. When attacking, you literally lost 2 ground in Hunnan J1 and THAT’S IT! Zero losses after round 1.
And now you kill 5 Chinese, with your 3 stupid guys, of course your DD hits and of course your sub scores 3 convoy damage.

Boy, this is really getting out of balance man :-/

Time for a break please. Could you PLEASE return to 111 and Morocco-mode? I need to feel again how a defense hit looks like.

Please note: It seems that Japan can add another 3 IPC? We play BM3 including the Iwo/oki NO, right?

Seems so to me? I am playing BM3 for the first time and as far as I know, Japan is getting an NO for Iwo and Oki and being at war with Japan. Correct?
I just like you to confirm. If you do, you can add 3 IPC to Japan. (and from now every time you fulfill the requirements for the NO)

“Japan is getting an NO for Iwo and Oki and being at war with Japan”

at war with US of course:D

Seriously, the dice of this game now officially SUCK.

It feels just unfair what happened after G1.

Since the Morocco battle I have 0/19@2 on the ground plus 0/3 AA.

That could make a notable negative streak in my track record.

If you don’t forget about all the dice that have happened in this game so far, you may be in a death spiral.  If you can forget about them and get back to a positive mindset, vonAlba will definitely have his hands full

I scored a hit, hooray :-o :-D
