Allies won in round 9. Russia took all of Europe, Manchuria and Kwangtung. England took the Pacific , from India to Tokyo.
All tapped out for strategies? Is it Game Over?

I was beginning to get worried this was going to turn into Math 432. And I thought Matrices were tough in Math 210, sheesh. I frankly don’t break out a calculator when I play this game. It’s called my brain, and if I have more guys than him and am attacking at roughly the same or more than him on attack numbers, then I’m in business. And since I’ve only played this game for a year and a bit, I’m sure there’s tons of strats for me to think of and break out and attempt and put into action. What’s a little losing when you have fun and learn at the same time.

GEN Fox,
So scenarios like “you have a TRN leaving the DC Navel yard at two spaces per turn heading for Berlin. Germany has a TRN leaving Berlin at the rate of two spaces per turn heading for the DC Navel yard. The US TRN left one turn earlier then Germany’s. How long will it take till they both collide?” just don’t interest you? (he he :lol:)

Awe, and I was about to break into some high level, esoteric sh*t too. :P
How about this, I’ll give you even odds your transport shoots down two of my transports and damages my battleship, surviving the engagement and forcing my battleship to withdraw to lick her wounds. :P
-
Jenn, I’ll take those odds. I’ve seen 4 transports all get blown up by a lone bomber, and I’ve seen 3 transports blow up 2 bombers wihtout dying. I may not have seen everything, but I’ve seen alot! 8-)
And PaintBrush, how much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Yeah, if given time I’d probably figure out that problem. But for the rest of those numbers everyone’s breaking out…WHOOSH, over my head!
-
Yea, that happened to me against Djensen.

Q: how much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Well from an engineers perspective (Note: Jen made point that engineers and mathematicians are in no way related.) I would answer that using the same approach I would answer is the glass half full or half empty?
To a mathematician this is a riddle that needs to be solved in order for life as we know it to continue. For an engineer standpoint I would say the glass is 50% bigger then it needed to be. So…
A: It can’t so it doesn’t matter. As an engineer I only need to find out the bare minimum to make things work then add 10% b/c people are going to go outside of that margin.

Is the glass half full or half empty?
A: Mathematician - Depends on if you are filling the glass or emptying the glass.
-
Is the glass half full or half empty?
Engineer: The glass is all the way empty.  :wink:
