13L G40 2nd Ed Jennifer (Axis) vs MrRoboto (Allies +15)

    Okay, I can’t win a game when literally NO BATTLES go in my favor round 1.  Sheesh.  Frustrating, not your fault, I just must have done something to p!ss off the RNG gods or something…

    I’ll leave up to you if you want to report it or not, but I’d like a rematch to see if I can manage to prevent England a win in round 1. :P

    I had to look through my Marti emails to find out what happened.

    Well yes - your G1 was a bit unlucky. The fail in 106 happens every once in a while, but it’s always annoying. In 111 you lost a plane more than average. 110 was good for you.

    An unlucky G1, but nothing that never happens, I would say.

    In China, both attacks went without something special.

    My attack on 97 was a bit better than average -> Averagely I lose the sub there.
    But my attack on Ethiopia was lower than average, you held it.

    So far I would say the dice were slightly in my favor, mainly cause of 106.

    Now, of course you lost that battle in 96. I don’t really like the idea of starting a new game. If we ignore this game, it feels weird for me, cause I can’t always just pass the game, whenever G1 and/or I1 are below average. If we count the game, I feel bad for you, cause of course that win wasn’t really deserved.

    So, I propose the following:
    We edit the fight in 96. Let’s pretend I didn’t hit anything against you (this accounts a bit for the additional sub in 97), so there are still all 3 ships and you can do the landing on Malta (which is a very risky attack with only 46% success chance).

    My OOL for Malta, first round:

    AAA first, of course.
    If I shoot down a plane with my AAA, hold the Bomber please.
    If I miss with my AAA, go for max defense.

    I think the best solution is to report the game and rewind to England’s turn (start of England’s turn.)  It’s a game that counts, ie not just a game for fun, and dice are dice.

    Currently, I just don’t see a way for Italy to recover.  Which has quite a few ramifactions that will essentially end Germany’s ability to threaten a win on the Europe map.  With no threat in Europe, Japan probably cannot pull a win in the Pacific since 100% of American influence can go in the Pacific.

    It’s the chain, I don’t even need to go 4 rounds in to see it. Hence why I say it’s probably best to report it and either start completely over or go back to England’s turn from purchase units on.

    Okay I agree with these terms.

    Let’s rewind to England’s turn.

    Or, since the Game is reported Anyway (will you do that?), we can start over from the beginning

  • '18 '17 '16 '11 Moderator

    Either way, I reported it.

    I don’t think Germany or Japan were that bad, it’s the no air force and no navy for Italy with a huge British fleet in the Med that is a major concern since there’s no way to clear them out before America finishes off the Italians.

    Will you open a new thread?

  • '18 '17 '16 '11 Moderator

    Sure, if you want to go with a new game from the start, I’ll open a new thread.

    If I don’t see you respond by 1700 GMT -5 (EST) I’ll open a thread and post Germany 1.  Else let me know if you want to just rewind to UK 1.

    Just make a new game. Maybe your G1 will be luckier this time
