Thanks for your input guys! Guess I'll find out how the dice roll for me after having played a couple of more games.

Well, i've played several games now and got Dice Analyzer installed. It is simply totally unbelieveable how many 3v2 dice I lose (stats are 28% wins, 44% ties and 28% lose). Just now I lost 16 troops (out of 19) attacking a region defended by 4 troops, screwing over pretty much the whole game for me ...
