A couple more examples of bad rolls of the dice, both from 42 Street, a great jdrommel scenario from Crete, which I have just played:
Germans looking to wrap up the game (two more medals to win) by playing Their Finest Hour:
It was a 100% infantry battle, so just one star!
One of the ANZAC units was stubbonly holding out in a town, they were down to 1 figure when they played Medics and Mechanics - would it save the day and bring them back to full strength?!
Again only one good dice! It kept them going for one more move, but then they were eliminated and the game was lost.
