The best/worst throws you have ever had?

Hello all you strategists and conquerors, warlords and kings. We all know the game of conquerclub *cough cough RISK cough cough* is a game in which the outcome of battles is determined by a mixture of strategy, diplomacy, and chance. Everybody has his lucky and unlucky streaks in the game, and no experienced player can convince me he has never had a "what the HELL?!" moment when attacking or being attacked and the unlikely, improbable or even IMPOSSIBLE happens. Obviously, i have some experience on this subject. My question to you is: what was the best or worst attack/defend/attacking turn you have ever had? Personally, i have once lost 63 to 7, and defeated an army of 21 with 3 attacking troops. Tell me your examples, in which game they happened, and under which context. Because sometimes, losing 8 to 1 is a complete disaster, and other times, it hardly matters. Tell me your examples, links and/or screenshots please!

ps: my inspiration is that i just lost 15 to 3 again, and wondered how many times such things happen to others. ^^

the maths says this happens 0.133% of the time, i.e. 1 in 750 times 15 armies attack 3. I guess this happens many 100s of times every day, so may - on average - happen to someone every day.

Felt confident in a no card 1v1 classic game. First I lost a 6v1, which didn't really matter, but then my opponent attacked me 5v12 and won without a single lost army... now I realize I should never be too confident. This seems tame to your 60 something to 7 loss, but it felt worth posting. :evil:
