Oh I see how it is, you’re AFRAID of a handful of good dice on a G1.
Ok, :) NO PROBLEM.
We will just have to play a game once I’m done with one my current games (Djensen, TDJ, Canuck12). Cool?
…
That said, is it not FAIR of a player, to tune his strategy to his opponents capabilities and tactics? For instance, no bid units were put in Karelia or Egypt? You would probably have put units there, denying the avenue of attack, so would have I.
Yes, I will admit that the opener involved some gambles, (who’s risk was mitigated by opposing players skill level), and I trusted my GUT, and went in. It paid off - Big deal. :) You said you’d “never seen anyone attack Karelia and Egypt on G1.” Now you have, and in a game that counts; Thus no matter what happens for the rest of your life, you’ve seen it, and I provided the oppurtunity for you.
What’s un-impressive here, is your unwillingness to roll up your sleeves, and test yourself against a ridiculous gamble that paid off, and could have put any player in a situation of disadvantage before they have even moved a piece.
Gambling is part of Axis and Allies, and there isn’t a player I’ve played on aa.org that hasn’t suffered from some of the more ridiculous risks I’ve taken, it’s how I play. It’s too bad you don’t appreciate it :)
