Is this the worst dice ever?

Ok so i am in a game it was being played on Classic and i had been building up my army on Siam so i would be powerful enough to take Oceana. Before this turn was played i had 17 armies on Siam and i then cashed in a set of cards which were Red, Green and Blue given me another 10. I deployed the 10 from the cards and 3 from the territory bonus all on Siam meaning i had 30 armies on Siam. I attacked Indonesia, New Guinea and Western Australia and conquered them all. The final territory was Eastern Australia and there was 1 army on it and i still had 23 of my 30 remaining.

I pressed Auto attack as it was a speed game and i only had 50 seconds left and then to my shock horror i found out that i lost every role and the Auto attack and it left me with 3 armies and my enemy still had his one remaining. I then pressed attack again and it went to 2-1 and then once more and yes you guessed it he won again leaving it 1-1.

It was 23 v 1 and the 1 won.

I was wondering is this one of the worst case of bad dice??

But it's a very good contender for the title, and I have to applaud the OP for not claiming that the dice are not random enough.

Well what is the most it has been then ? v 1 becausei thought to lose 22 was quite unlucky.

Yikes, that is awful. Like poker, any experienced player here has their bad beat stories. Mine was a 29vs3 loss that would have earned me 5 cards in an escalating game. I lost, they turned in and won the game :D

Link to game? I could not find any recent classic cards speed games in which you were involved in which this happened. The odds on what you described are over 9 billion to 1 against, so I would have to see it first. Plus, you only get 2 from a territory bonus, not 3.

I had a look, and my best guess would be this game

But then, I'm just a raw recruit. What do I know.[/url]

NO, u always get 3 armies every round regardless of how many territories you own. i'm sure this was a small mis type or something... :roll:

nope it's not, i stopped using auto attack because of one simple turn. I had 32 armies to 1, hit auto attack and lost, he carded and because it was escalating he crused me......And i'm sure there are worse stories than this one......Never use AA IMHO
