I didn't really consider the Allied land combat dice, because I think low odds Allied counter-attacks early in the game are quite ill-advised. They are usually more likely to advance the Axis timetable than restore the Allied position. Throw an 8, 9 or 10 and they look brilliant - for an impulse. Anything less and they are more of a benefit to the Bad Guys. The best Allied play early is to just stubbornly hold in front of the perceived Axis objectives with plenty of cheap infantry and anti-armor bonus units, and not picking up the attack dice. It's kinda boring, but Strategy should not be based on excitement.
The attack in Poland, should it succeed in getting all three Polish reinforcements on the board, was probably worth it, as with the attack in Algeria. Stalin should monitor Poland closely and move in to East Poland only when there is any risk of Warsaw falling before the end of the turn, and there are the most chits to pull from the USA pool, maybe you can lose a low one that way.
The most important luck is re: US Entry, then weather, then land combat and TRS hunting. I've seen a Fall Gelb give the USA an entry level of 30 vs. Euro-Axis at the end of 1939, more than once. So far the Axis have had the better luck in this game, though they probably don't think so.
