13L G40 Boldfresh (+9) vs. Hobo - game 3

[boldfresh]

Bottom line I am calling you out to prove your win in a LL game starting from the beginning of R4.  No bearing on league results.

[boldfresh]

I know to a CERTAINTY you lose if that battle goes to odds.  How do you like them apples?

[boldfresh]

To me taking that battle made the game interesting.  The fact that it skewed so hard in your favor pretty much ruined it but hey I guess that happens.  This isnt chess.  So i would rather take thw battle for fun and risk giving you a path back in than grind you out slowly.  If it went reasonably to odds it was also a faster win.

[hobo]

all I can do is chuckle at your continuous rant  :lol:

ask anyone, would they start a major battle with an 8% chance of winning?

ask anyone, would they start a major battle with a 1% chance of winning?

you did, in the same battle  :roll:

and when it didn’t go you way, oh damn I am so unlucky why didn’t I roll 20 1s with all my infantry… damn… cry me a river

and no, there are times you make sacrificial attacks.  think about it, what strategic value would have been gained even if you won?  if you did win, you would have had a tank, assuming you wanted to take it, and MAYBE a fighter left.  and at what cost?  ALL your capital defense troops when I had 25 more ground units I could have put in moscow shortly thereafter with a larger production stream beyond?  trading hits at a disadvantageous ratio is something russia can never afford to do.  it’s not about ipc value, it’s about hits.

[boldfresh]

I dont want to hear your bs.  Just agree to go again from g4 LL or shut up.

[boldfresh]

If u r so sure just show me.

[boldfresh]

cmon hobo, don’t be a COWard - just show me how “good” you are and beat me in LL from G4.

[boldfresh]

Dont be a dick I am not crying about dice I am simply saying you would certainly lose the game in LL.  I am offering to show you.

This is just WRONG.  You are living in an old paradigm.  You will eventually learn.  Im giving you that chance… play it again in LL and you will find out.

[hobo]

just take your turn, there was a reason why I didn’t respond to your rant prior and now I remember why.

Just keep playing the wrong game  :lol:
