More like luck and the foolishness of other players. Unless it's just a lever you pull, there's strategy to it, because choices are involved. Ultimately, yes, it is about luck, but the choices you make and how you position yourself greatly affect how that luck plays out, because luck is ultimately nothing but probability, and you can swing probability in your favor.

I guess statistics and reading the rules are also highly overrated.

Wouldn't that make the probability of everything either 100% or 0%?

Orders away, hopefully some dice rolls will start going in my favor.

Comments:
Most amazing feat of the turn: The Japanese defenders.
Comrades traded for 12 extra reinforcements this turn. Yes, I gave the wrong number in the PM. Extra two armies placed in Kamchatka and Japan to go with the theme.
Imperialists traded for 6 extra reinforcements this turn.
Gaians traded for 0 extra reinforcements this turn.
Imperialists: Can only place two units each in N.Africa and Argentina. Surplus two placed in India per request.
Cards will be sent to those who can do something with them. Quite interesting that you all have three cards each now.
Offenses:
Comrades: How could there possibly be units in Irkutsk to move after you attacked with them?
Imperialists: Can only move units from one territory in the tactical move phase. Didn't matter since the premise wasn't fulfilled, but still.
Reinforcements:
- Narwhals: 6
- Imperialists: 5
- Photon Rain: 4
- Comrades: 4
- Islamists: 3
- Clockwork Agency: 3
- Gaians: 3
Deadline for orders:
Tuesday, June 12, 20:00 GMT (15:00 EST)
Note that orders should be for reinforcement, attacks and tactical moves.

Yeah I over extended myself a bit that first turn and a few bad rolls have made the game go not so well for me thus far (not horrible but not great either). Anyhow orders away. Im gone from friday afternoon - tuesday evening so lets get 2 updates in before that. Not sure what you guys want to do for that period that im out of town without internet, guess we'll have to see what Niklas wants.

Somewhere, there had better be some cosmic scale that is tallying up all these rather terrible rolls.
One and a half hour after deadline and I'm still missing Gaian and Imperialist orders. Get me the orders within the next hour and I'll forget about it. Otherwise it's one strike, and the deadline is pushed 12 h ahead.
