    11 v 1 and 13 vs 1 losing is not impossible, just very unlikely. Where did it happen? Would be interesting to see the details, if defender was stuck throwing sixes.

    For normal d6 attacking 3v1, you win 66% of the time.  Losing 24 in a row would be .33^24 = something like a 1 in a trillion (american) chance (someone check my math).

    I should mention that I almost always use A. It should be just as random as rolling with 1 dice. The only time I attack with 1 at a time is if I am suspicious of the game results already. I just rolled 11 v 1 and lost all of my men using A. I then rolled 13 v 1 and lost all of my men. That is mathematically impossible, guys. And it is extremely infuriating. I swear odds are determined at the start of the game, not truly random each roll. Certain players tend to dominate all game regardless of rolls.

    Can you point us to that game?   What turn #?

    EDIT: Hah, Chele beat me to it.

    It wouldn't be 24 3v1 in a row. You only get eight three-dice attacks from a 11v1 and ten from a 13v1. Unless abandon is on when you get nine and eleven.

    That's still .05% Not impossible, but still pretty rare.

    .0000004% okay, that's pretty bad...

    I have no problem believing the dice when I am steamrollering through opponents due to my superior strategy.
