L22 elche (x) vs Gamerman01 (+18) BM4

[gamerman01]

Thanks for sharing elche and thanks for the good wishes!
I haven’t played low luck because I know it changes everything, and would also damage my ability to play the real game.

It’s amusing to me when other players expect to get the average result every time. I’m probably guilty of that sometimes too.

[gamerman01]

Got perfect dice again - nothing lost!

Good job from Russia. I am too, because I think I wasnt lucky with Marti in a lot of games and twice crazy Marti decides the game against me.

Not good to have MARTI decide the outcome - it is indeed disappointing when that happens!

I personally estimate that one wins about 10% of games due to dice, and lose 10% of games due to dice, so I think 1 in 5 games total are decided by dice :) :) Just my personal experience - you have many years of experience, too, I know so maybe you have a different opinion!

[elche]

I think I have not enough games. Just 4 last year and this year 7 games. So end of the year mayby 20 games overall.
So 20% losses because of Marti sounds realistic.

Did you buy Asterix & Obelix ?

[elche]

Before 2020 I only know A&A Classic Version.

[gamerman01]

I do not know anything about Asterix or Obelix.

Only classic until 2020! That is a big leap to Global 1940! You skipped over Revised and 50th anniversary, which transitioned us to Global 1940 released in 2012.
But playing 11 games so far in 2021 and 2022, you will catch up, and I’m sure you’ve had a lot of fun doing it.

I will move when I have energy again after a big 4 day trip - I know it is my turn.

Moved 2 infantry, fighter, AA to Scotland, and place fighter on London instead of on carrier, thanks

[elche]

A&A only kmew few people in Germany. I knew it from a friend, he was for 1 year in USA and brings the Classic Version from there. And all the new games, we found them because we started to play Classic Version on PC. But to play OOB and BM is much more fun than Classic.
Asterix and Obelix is a belgish/french Comic, and its very famous in Europe like Micky Mouse or Donald Duck.
