XDAP - 02 Final Draft (Axis) vs Dairy Qryn (Allies)
-
Might as well go ahead and pour some headstones for those UK troops moving toward South Africa too.
-
wow 2 tank 1 bomber, so bs.
-
the russians have been rolling like shit all game
lets hope that reverses itself when more important battles come up…. -
that was an important battle. you had 56% to win, shoulda got a couple armor at least.
-
you will likely get some free xport kills on 127, like 3-4 only.
he could keep all his air in range, buy 5 subs, and have enough to hold his seazone spot and have enough to sink usa should I retake london. but that means all ground and 2 bombers can hit the north. he’d only give up 4 transports to do that. 20 ipc to buy other junk.
which means only 6 units specifically for you. I don’t have to leave romania yet, so he is not kickin ya out of there.
so you are going to make bank.
58ish.with that pacific surge of income, i should have enough naval to hold london, sigh. he needed to win in belarus. so he can hold nov for a bit.
sigh, I might have to chance it, take london and see if I hold that sz spot. Egypt is going to fall in 3 rounds if I dont get london back. The pacific may or may not look so good next turn, I mean it is possible he sends out 2 transports to get back the java islands and gets diced. If he gets diced I can wait. If he gets another japan round of flawless wins… I got to go in and hope for the best.
sigh you only need mech for volgograd for africa. arty ukraine and full mech for russia, got to bring the heat to him.
depending on where his stuff goes I will swing down to italy.
It is not looking good, I might have to take a big risk soon. Like a now or never style.
we shall see how germany does his turn. then talk about this.
-
how come it replies here instead of msgs veq… it is so strange, I thought i was msging.
-
either way, garg could buy all ground put the heat on russia or enough naval to keep usa at bay.
axis are probably going to win this by round 10. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
going to have to calc out a few rounds ahead, it don’t look good for the allies.
I guess it is not too late to go pacific and turtle russia LOL.
-
Seems like the russians that died so far never participated in the russian day care program

seriously dude, you need to stop telling our strategies to the enemy
don’t hit “reply”,
click on my name, then click PM
-
I did lol.
-
omg, this is all so amusing. Thanks for the free entertainment.
So rich…
8-)
-
go watch my revised aacup game, I am probably going to get diced hard in that one. I already got diced once in ukraine, only a matter of time.
-
What cowardly remarks and poor sportism.
Dice whining never saved anyone thier game.
-
lol, well it is true, I always do ukraine and quit when it fails. it is always 85-95% depending if I send the third armor in or not. It ruins my whole game losing and it is required. Not doing ukraine limits my range of moves hard.
-
Like in classic, if I am russia and karelia gets smoked g1, that is game right there, game is won or lost in karelia strait up.
ukraine is not so bad, I can get away with losing a fighter to get that last fighter. Maybe in a live game, I would continue, wouldn’t be so long before I can get a good shove on west europe, even if the odds are real bad, then decide to gg it up after that. play by forum, best to just quit after ukraine, 90% of the time you won’t win anyway, it is a big hole to climb out of.
At least revised in revised it is always 85% or 95% depending if ukraine got an inf/armor bid unit for it or not. Not like classic where you can typically expect germany to put enough bid to get at least 30-40% at karelia depending on how russia’s strafe/attacks go. The strafe attack for R1 is semi dangerous in classic, you take the spot and you lose karelia, you could end up losing more inf than germany, but most of the time it works out… sometimes it gets skipped by more cautious players to sink the baltic fleet. Sometimes karelia G1 ends up being a coin flip and the german player goes for it, the game is pretty much won or lost right then and there, unless it comes down to the wire.
It’s not complaining, it is reality. I got more to complain about for this global game to be honest, I only got 3 hits with yunnan on J2, couple more hits would have got me some fighters. you just smoked belarus. sz 110 most of the time, I would get some german fighters, which would limit the range of your future attacks.
we are playing a dice game, it is similar to playing hold em. one player draws aces another draws kings, a raise a reraise an all in and that is it someone goes home right there.
-
like for example, you give me 50/50 to take and hold london, I am doing it. you take it back and that is gg, you fail and it is a huge loss for germany that you might not recover from either.
playing a dice game, of course the rolls matter.
-
Till you guys come around to a low luck tournament…
-
I never liked the idea of low-luck. It really only affects small battles, and the law of central tendency will still hold with enough small battles. 50% chance of success isn’t just a flat number that is gospel. What makes up that 50% means a whole hell of a lot. I think you will find over the course of any long game with d6’s, your average “roll” will be between 3 and 4. It’s the nature of the beast.
-
I don’t see any validity to your complaint Cow,
50% of your aa’s hit on london, and I believe you also scored a number of AA hits in Eastern Poland, a poorly designed defense, which still managed to secure the allies a decent showing. Italy got diced hard in the med early, and with it’s landings / attacks.
The only reason Germany and Italy face the challenges they face currently, is because they are minus that -extra- unit or two. A good player accepts that that’s reality, and moves forward - without complaint (observation is ok, but must consider the two way street). It’s Axis and Allies man, it happens.
Belarus was awesome, but our dice weren’t much better than yours, 4 rounds at 10 attack power to kill 4 units… that’s almost HALF the amount of hits we should have recieved? Granted, you didn’t hit anything in return, so we can safely consider BOTH our dice bad.
If you lose this game, at no stage can you call it -bad luck-. The luck is a piddalance when compared to the MOUNTAIN of strategic choices both sides have made, some good, some in error.
At BEST for you, you could argue the dice even, some observers would say though, that the rolls have 60/40 the allies way over the course of the game. Look at the history and decide for yourself - and observe. But don’t complain like a moo bag. ;)
I look forward to seeing Veqryn’s post!

to say that games are not won and lost on luck is false,
playing dice, of course games are won or lost on good and bad luck with important rolls
which is why i prefer low luck for most of my games
that said, i think this game is relatively even overall, and that while the luck has been worse for the allies, it has only been slightly worse, and not enough to override the choices of the players at this point
