Karl, could you explain how you have 20 losses? You don’t seem to have a matchup problem against me  :-D. You’ve made every right move in this game, it seems. You chose a conservative approach to start, but purchased aggressively thereafter.

Have you had practice against someone who gears up slowly, the way I do? (G4/J3 or J4)

Yes, some dice have been wacky here and there, but not really that much. My opener was poor with the dice, which was painful, and I keep getting aircraft shot down with single rolls of 2 or less, but I’ve also had a bunch of rounds against you that went my way on land.

I’m truly curious, because I feel like I played my normal game, which is a fairly decent one, and you’ve been one step ahead. I’m not asking that you show your hand, I’m just not sure how you gained and held the initiative. We can always debrief after the game, if that’s cool - after all, I still have a strong Germany and 30 Japanese aircraft… but victory seems far away for me.

I have to think a great deal about Japan’s turn…  :-P

20 losses?  Well, a lot of it is just luck.  I had a game against Dizzkneeland that I was set to win.  All I had to do is capture UK. I had 98% odds and I LOST.  INSANE.  We had a rematch as him as the Axis and he got PERFECT german opening.  I mean he lost like just a couple infantry and had like 4 subs left.  It was downhill for the Allies after that.

I know the top tier players like Gamerman/Bold/Cow talk big about strategy etc but luck plays a huge roll.  If 2 players are close to evenly matched then luck will decide.

I have to say though, I space out on some games.  I lost a couple against novices by sheer laziness.  It’s funny, some games just grab me and I pay real close attention. I won 3 games in a row against Bold because he smack talked me and kept me focused.  Others I phone in sometimes to disastrous results. If I’m not paying attention and someone pulls some new strategy on me and I don’t catch it then I will lose. Look at my games against whackamatt.  He’s a pretty unconventional player and I thought I could beat him but he beat me 2 times. The first was because he did a G1 on Russia which I was not prepared for and then got lucky.  The 2nd time he pulled a sneak move that I could have stopped 100% and won the game even though I was winning. I just wasn’t watching close enough.

All that being said, the Axis do have an advantage. Maybe 55/54 to start, but if the Axis get lucky the first round or 2 the allies can be in a tough spot. If the Axis get poor luck on the start it’s game over.  I had a game against the mighty Zhukov as the Axis and I just couldn’t get a break.  I think I played very well strategically but the dice just bled out my units to no end - real annoying nickel and dime stuff.

There are however a couple time I lost just outright to better play.  Snake Eyes killed me using a german bomber strategy that was good.  Tyzog killed me.  Gamerman got me a couple times, but annoyingly a lot of that was luck.  I had a fight against him where in a major attack I got ZERO hits…. blah!

Anyway, long story short I guess this game has got my attention!

That’s a great answer, and I’ll comment more in a little while… my daughter just got the draw on using the computer for the next couple hours…  :roll:
