I know. I have been having an urge to play low luck for a while now. But every time I have tried low luck i miss the dice. It’s the grass-is-always-greener-on-the-other-side scenario for me.
But I think that the amount of bad dice rolling needed for the axis to win this one is very unlikely to happen.
Best regards

Hi Zhukov
I’m calling this one. The inability for the germans to really do anything against russia even though russia lost their planes turn 1 and kept 18 inf out east makes the game unwinniable. That was the scene where axis should have won and snowballed. But it never happened.
I have to go back and see what made the german stop in their tracks around turn 4-5-6.

Well played! I think my allies playstyle will adapt some of your priorities in my next games.

Best regards
MrCunego
