I'm assuming you mean there was 10 in the attacking territory, which means it is really a 9v3 (since 1 troop is always left behind)

0.55% or approximately 1 in 182.

What you have to realize, OneEyed, is that there are THOUSANDS of dice throws every day, things like that are bound to happen now and then. I had one the other day that was 1:46656. Sounds insane, but there are probably 46,000 dice throws every couple of weeks.

Maybe I should ask Sheriff how many dice I've rolled since I started playing in 2010. I think I will.

Yep, I know all of this, but I must say there are some map games I feel the dice are heavier

I will often be heard saying that I prefer ALL of my bad luck and dice to come in the same game. But it ain't like that.
This is a good thing.
I recently played a 1v1 game where I didn't take a single troop in the first 2 rounds, I just about managed to get a card in R3. About 6-7 rounds later the dice completely reversed their wicked attention and I was able to win through. These sorts of things are what make the game frustrating and so very enjoyable, depending on which side of the dice gods grace you are.

I take everything what was said, but its a little bullshit that with 10 troops I can not take at last 1 troop from 3.
at the end of day, its still just a game

But hey - you will love it when it happens to your opponent! Today, my opponent dropped 6 against my 1 and lost all, I am loving it! Woo-hoo!

 

[LordAdef]

The dice wave shift is known around here. Just get used it and think of it as part of the game.
I've got a personal superstition: When the attack button is bad luck I go for the blitz button and the other way around. I feel that somehow when one is good, the other is bad. But this is certainly my superstition

Today I have lost the following:

8 v 1 down to 1 v 1
13 v 3 down to 3 v 3
3 v 3 (at least 10 times) all down to 1 v 3
36 v 11 down to approx 3 v 7

Today sucks

We all have days like that. The thing is, we remember when that happens to us, but we quickly forget the time we march through 14-15 of our opponents troops with nary a loss. I remember and cuss at my machine when the losses happen, but when I attack 24 with 12 just hoping to ding them some and end up taking it with 5 left over, I smile, move on, and quickly forget.

Today I have lost the following:

3 v 3 (at least 10 times) all down to 1 v 3

Today sucks

10 times you attacked 3 v 3? Um, don't do that. Not even once. Unless it's a desperate situation.

Unless by 3 v 3 you mean there was 4 in the attacking region giving you 3 dice to roll.

 

[Oggyyy]

I think i'll start screen shotting some of these rolls i am getting - the last one i clicked away from by mistake, my dice were something like:

10 v 3 -

1,2,1 v 6,6
2,2,1 v 6,6
3,4,1 v 5,6
1,1,3 v 4,6
2,3,1 v 6,5

so 10 v 3 down to 2 v 3.

Just one example of hundreds (specifically lately, were the defending dice have been ridiculously weighted towards a defensive win) - I think I have been a bad boy this christmas as some of my rolls are so unlikely I better start playing the lottery!

 

[Cardinalsrule]

We all have those occasionally, Oggyyy. I'm in a game where in the first 3 turns I've lost 14 troops and killed 2. It sucks, but it always evens out. I'd be willing to bet that if you look at some of your other games, you could see places and past turns where you won 8/10 in a row, either attacking or defending.
