@Arthur-Bomber-Harris said in League General Discussion Thread:

@AndrewAAGamer my problem with Axis and Allies League matches is either 1) I am playing against inferior opponents and I know by turn 4 that it will be an easy win for me but I have to wait ten turns for them to inevitably concede, or 2) I am playing against superior opponents like you and I have to play through the next full turn every round to make sure I am not making a dumb mistake and also have to take a 40/60 odds battle to have a chance of winning since you will inevitably grind me into the dirt if I don’t take any risks. I spend a month to get to that huge attack on Moscow or massive battle in the Pacific, get either good or bad dice, and then either win or lose based on the outcome.

I could play low-luck matches, but then I am guaranteed to win against inferior opponents and lose against people who have better gameplay so the outcome is essentially determined from the start of the game. There probably is no solution to this general situation in 2-player matches.

I wouldn’t think yours is an unusual problem for championship winning players. Tennis for instance. The real competition is amongst the few, surrounded by the ambitious. I’d love if there was a mathematical formula for greater-lesser bid/greater-lesser difference in tier=greater lesser points.

@dazedwit

I forgot about the convoys. Just rolled those out (2 and 4 dice) and hit the 8 max.

so UK down to $20 for turn two, IC at 17 damage, AB at 6 damage. UK only able to place 1 unit if they repair AB.

I’m messing around with different UK responses and rolling - London gets steamrolled turn 3 with this strategy with 15-17 ground units on London. Full Taranto and G2 is possible with good dice.

I like Sealion now

@SuperbattleshipYamato I was mistaken, the NB in Spain was to reach Berlin/Warsaw

US and UK were can opening for each other so was setting up - take Denmark, go thru straits to get Berlin or Warsaw. I got Warsaw

@BenPlay

Hi Ben,

Both dice counts.

Please note:
The 2-dice rule also concerns Heavy Bomber units, SHB, Army units etc.

In other words: Both dice counts for all these units.

Thanks for the clarification !
