This has probably been answered but I will ask it anyways:
How is it I struggle to stay at a 12% win ratio when some players have upwards of 80%?

It also seems like I lose my first dice throw or a turn 90% of the time. I just started a classic game and lost 11 troops without winning a single roll ...

In game 10493779 there are two players both with almost identical screen names...a couple of players have commented in the log that that seems too similar.
