Strangest examples of good or bad luck?

best of luck for me was when a tow missile hit a t-80 with 2% accuracy

my worst of luck was when i planned a cluster bombardment and the artillery landed right between my apc's, when i got back to base the arty men were court marshaled!

Some more bad..luck?
1978. Ordered my B-52s (2 of them) to carpet bomb a village and another area near it, a bit further south.
Both the bombers missed, by a long long way. One by about 7 hexes, the other by about 25. Both hit my forces.

No real life commander would ever order a B52 strike within three quarters of a mile of his own troops let alone 350 yards! That's just dumb plain and simple.

And which unit was the one ordering this strike and could it see the target hex ?

Hey, there is a first time for everything!

As for ordering the strike, yeah, well, there was nothing capable with view of the targets, so...yeah.
