Cheating on the dice rolls? can someone do it?

[FRA Rimniksky]

Hi everyone, I am playing a game and I have never seen any dice roll results like these before. We are at round 15 maybe, and just to give 1 example, in my last attack, he rolled three 1s and one 2 on the first round of rolls, and in the other attack he rolled a 1 on the first round. I could not get any territory, my attacks failed. It's been like that for a large portion of the game. I almost always loose an infantry when I attack one , and it's on the first round of dice roll, not even failed the first attempt. It's just too weird. I don't think it is possible. I often see games when a player is lucky for several turns, but luck always stops at some point. But in this game, he is lucky too often. The game makes no sense.
Now have you ever heard a player was able to hack to game? I know in some game, some players do that. I want to report the player. Thank you very much for your insights.
I have reached platinum this season and games get really interesting! Mistakes are hard lessons believe me.

You lost almost every battle and the game went to fifteen rounds? That seems strange. Usually when the luck all goes against me in ranked I am dead before round 10.
The dice post where all the complaints about RNG are is stickied to the top of the forum. It's quite a read.
As for hacking no, not really. I've never heard of it in this game. Possible? probably. Likely? I doubt it.

If you play any game that relies heavily on randomness, especially those that simulate dice rolls, you'll run into scenarios like this.

On your hacking point, that I can't say. Is it possible - of course, it is. Impossible to detect - that I would find hard to believe.

Any cheating is unlikely. All rolls go through our servers, it's not P2P.

What is up with all these 1's & 2"s on Defense rolls? I've played many board games before and played A&A classic to the we hours of the night. Never have I seen the most lucky dice rolls that continuously drop 1's & 2's. I understand luck, chance and all that but I have never seen this in any dice roll in board games.

Don't get me wrong I think the game is great and all that, but man.

You're a lucky man then. Not 2 weeks ago on the A&A reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/AxisAllies/comments/zw5a9p/defending_with_tanks/
Every comment below the post expresses solidarity with that roll, as well.

As for my anecdotes, I had my brother shoot down 5 out of 6 attacking planes with AA.

I killed a battleship and the transports it was escorting with a single submarine a minimum of four times over the board as well.
1's and 2's have been tested thoroughly. As well as 3s, by popular demand, haha. The link to the albums is available on the dice thread stickied to the top of the forum.

Someone on that reddit thread estimates the chances of that roll being one in about 65,000. I think that's a high actually because there is a 2 in there and it could be anywhere in the sequence of rolls so it's a lot better chance than that, but OK. Bear in mind tens of thousands of games of A&A are player per season, each with maybe a hundred battles on average. So things like that will happen to someone, somewhere playing A&A online quite frequently.

No its not just you the dice in this game are messed up. Hasbro made a pc axis allies and dice in it were fine the dice in Risk is fine. Not this version on Axis Allies best you can do is don't bother playing and advise people against wasting their money on it.

Completely agree.

[Glavin]

i hope its not cheating. I think its as random as random gets on a PC.

No matter what the odds say each di really has only a 1 in 6 chance of hitting the number.

You never see posts complaining about how they get too awesome of rolls....

[Tinball]

Welcome to randomness! You just went through a statistical anomaly! It happens.

[jipi24]

ive been out of luck diced very hard to my defeat like never before .and here i see this guy wayyy up in the leaderboard that is very sus if you ask me

[Juggernaut]

this is pretty much the definitive dice complaint right here. At least this guy doesnt beat around the bush. "guy higher than me on leaderboard- suspicious" I respect it

[becephalus]

I love the idea that this guy is some lazy and feckless as to cheat on dice, but also reserved enough to take this game to round 15. You must be world's best A&A player to survive to round 15 against hacked dice.

Bad ♥♥♥♥ happens.

I lost a game earlier today when I attacked Moscow and on their first big roll for 2s, they hit 17/20. Game over man! ♥♥♥♥ happens.

I also took out a battleship with two fighters without casualties that game twice.
