That's a pretty impressive stat there, being able to win and lose in exact proportions shows some talented dice-manship.

Never drawn. If I get bored I just redefine the objectives, or randomly throw in some reinforcements on one side or have an act of god. Good thing about flying solo is that the table can stay up for days.

How about General Rudolfo Graziani, who commanded the Italian 10th Army in Egypt, captured with 130,000 of his men in Operation Compass?
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Modern Italians don't attempt to win battles, and they are successful in this. How is that incompetence?
