In a speed game on the Arms Race map, We were down to 2 people racing to get to the nukes. my opponet took a group of 10 men and first wiped out all 15 men at the top of his missile, so that was 10 vs 15, he had 9 survive. He then took those 9 men and wiped out my stack of 15 sitting at my warhead. After that battle of 9 vs 15 he had 8 left. He then wiped out my entire missile and each and every bonus location on the map. All in all he wiped out over 45 men with a mere 10. Amazing dice

now seriously, i understand that you feel bad about it. but out of all the million games, some games could in theory have really 'odd' dice. and it just seems your enemy got really odd dice in his favor. maybe after a few million games played the dice will happen to be in your favor (or he found some secret 'dice pattern' or he bribed random.org or something or maybe he's the administrator on random.org
)
Spoken like a true tool. But if anyone actually cares to think about the significance here, it's not as tough as you might think because it's bombardments. You are looking at an outside maximum odds of 3 in one million. It would take too much time to figure out the actual probability, but maybe someone else can do it. But at least initially it seems to me this is much less disturbing than the 51 attack 50 and lose 3 or something like that that I saw in a post a while back....
The real question is, if the setup was as you say it was, what did you expect to happen with "1" on the president and the launch code??
