Ok, in one scenario I rolled boxcars for my radio, in another I needed a 9 or less to get contact and blast a bunch of russkies back across the Lovat and roll an 11. I really hate this game! lol

One boxcars? Is that all?!? I am playing (as the Germans) Tigers and Flames and I have rolled 7 boxcars. It is effin' ridiculous :)

He rolled an 11 too. It's not like he's just complaining about just one bad result. That would be whining. No, he's in some serious pain, and we may be called upon to talk him off the ledge.

I had one where I really made radio contact (1,1) and then pull a red chit, and then really made contact again (1,1) and drew the second red chit. Who needs useless OBA when you got warm cardboard to burn :D

The most memorable stint of bad DRs I can remember was a game HG-10 Stampede at Hill 253.5 with Steve "Earthpig" Hicks several years ago. In one player turn he rolled 7 boxcars and a plethora of other poor DRs to malf almost all of his ordnance in a single turn and totally ruined his game at that point. We still laugh about to this day (though less so at the time) and say no matter how bad a scenario is going, at least it's never down to the standard of that playing. Still a fun time scenario though!

Last night my average roll through 12 IFT rolls was a 4.1, never seen anything like it. The VASL-bot was off the rails as usual.

Playing J161 "Riding to the Rescue"...

I was the Brit...I malfed the MA on my one MK-VIC (the one with my Armor Leader)...repaired that. Then I malfed the MA and CMG on the other MK-VIC...it was whacked before I could repair.

But, not to be out done...my opponent malfed the MA on both of his PSW222 and then proceeded to disable them, resulting in the recall of both AFV.

However, unlike my opponent, the dice spirits saw fit to ease my pain with a couple of snakes (including a leader gen on self-rally) and several 3's on some crucial ift shots.

I did manage to pull off the victory.

I think that, after the stage where I think that I hate the game, there is the moment when I have the sinking, terrifying impression that it is the game which actually hates me. :fingerwag::eek::(

Talk about hating this game,LOL, my brother rolled four; FOUR CHs in one turn of our Hatten in Flames CG last week, two against my panthers killing them both. He followed that up today with TWO more CHs against some infantry, blasting them to dust as well. I was not amused.........
