Umm, no it doesn`t.

It most certainly does

I haven't been to military academy or something either. Just my opinion

Battle of Agincourt, for instance. The French should have wiped the British, they outnumbered them at least 6 to 1 (some estimates are as high as 20 to 1) but it started raining, a lot. Turned the field to mud, causing many french soldiers to slip as they charged the British lines. Their heavy armor then prevented them from rising, further tripping the men behind them. Men squirming in the mud are good targets for the English longbow, and the battle went to King Henry V. Just one instance of bad luck contributing to a real war turning. Whenever I lose a 24v4, I think of Agincourt....

Couldn`t french stop the attack the moment the rain started?

Finsfleet wrote:And how often do those happen?

OK, I guess sometimes luck counts, but nearly as much as in CC.

Again, in CC luck counts for much less than what most of the people believe. Sometimes I hear talks about CC changing their engine, favorizing attacking dice or defending dice more than before. BS.

HOWEVER! im not sure how many times, when we need that one last little push(random esc game from first round for example), we failed horrible. same now with stupid Space. we had great rolls to start with, but first, when we needed finishing touch, fail... when we need to stay alive on some places, fail... at the end, we still had a game, but we failed in killing our own... and not to mention, when i needed that all important 4th card, 4 vs 1, failed... now, props to TOFU for staying alive there, i tip my hat to them, so its nothing against their skill, its just me being pissed. anyhow, this is not the worst part. ffs, in how many games have TOFU started first? and to add to that, with bonus?! its like every fucking game they are starting first. not huge advantage, but if i can chose, id always start first! and im sure most of TOFU would.
really, ladies, this isnt attack you at any way. you are all great players(expect maybe Dako... and Fenrir... and CoF... and Seul... and, well, pretty much everyone else), im just ranting because i was hoping we would have all the luck in the world, and its fucking not there! and with all those failings in crucial attacks/defense, im feeling like i got look of Adonis, brain of Einstein, wit of Robin Williams, penis size of Ron Jeremy, and at the end, i cant get it up when it counts!
oh well, at least we got our first medal today. to Andrija Zlatic, goooooooooooo Serbia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya know Aaron, your extensive knowledge of frivilous trivia never ceases to amaze me. And I mean that in a good, complimentary way. Not to mention the fact it makes 'it twitch' when you flex your brain power like that! lmao (the wife aint too happy about it either!)

They wanted to kill the English, and holding off for the weather that close to the English Channel would mean waiting weeks while the English fortified their position, or, worse, withdrew to Harfleur, a fairly large town they'd taken earlier in the campaign. They took a risk( ) and it backfired.
