@max334 yes was a nice xmas present for you!
L21 Amon-Sul (Axis) vs Pejon_88 (Allies + 16)
-
@amon-sul I don’t usually have time to plan a round like some people do. Happens that I close the game and then opens it again, but that is more due to not being able to finish the move.
-
@Amon-Sul I do realise I wanted to continue in Holland an additional round. Taking the shot at earning those extra IPC, saving a land unit and taking a plane as casualty. Would you allow that to be rolled? No other moves or combats were reliant on that battle.
-
Well more than usual that is.

i am not sure i understood it all.
This close and opening part

@amon-sul I know that some people plan their move a great deal. I am trying to balance planning and playing, tends to prefer the latter part a bit more :)
I don’t open a session (with exceptions) without at least planning on playing at the same time. Sometimes when a round takes a couple of hours to plan it may happen I can’t finish/play during the same session, then I have to re-open and inadvertently do some planning in my head meanwhile. I have about 4 games ongoing at the same time and have noticed that is quite reasonable for me. Some games are rounds 1-5 and some late games, so a nice mix there. Right now I don’t have a lot at work, hence why I can write this post during work hours (working from home :D ) -
@amon-sul That is very flexible of you, thanks! Will roll now.
-
So 1 inf, 2 figs and one tac vs. 1 inf. Will try and do it your way, starting from my inf to tac and at the end your inf.

So I changes US income +8, removed a fig and added 1 inf. Removed your inf and changed owner status.
-
@pejon_88 Apologies for my change there, you have one on me ;)
My reasoning was that a potential boost in +8 IPCs, the loss of one additional G inf, G having to re-take Holland, was worth the risk of you hitting again at 33% and me losing a fig. -

Right now I don’t have a lot at work, hence why I can write this post during work hours (working from home :D )well, for me 1 game is the best with fast pace.
Sometimes 2 , 1 with axis, 1 with allies is cool too
for more then 2, i need to have more private space (time) , and I dont have it.
I like to plan my move to think about it before my opponent does his. and then when he does it, i just update my plans after his move is done.
But i must admit i play much faster with allies, because they are my favourite side, and anzac and russian move usually go fast
not to mention that with axis u need to spend much more time in the first few rounds, especially me , since i dont have much exp with axis, and am an unorthodox player.

but i felt this time i should
cheers

@amon-sul ok, interesting. My initial thought was that planning before the opponent plays would mean that more time is invested in each round, but I get that that time invested is returned during your own turns then.
Just out of curiosity, how predictable am I compared to other players our there?
-
@amon-sul of course! It is always at the other player’s discretion to decide without any bad blood.

Hard to tell.
I think more or less all the players are predictable (but that doesnt mean they are not good players), I think that the top players (E and M against which I play only lately) tend to avoid risky battles, and try to pressure in a way that will avoid risky situations.
But that doesnt mean U re not good. Somebody can play more unpredictible, but bad.
I sometimes look what would I do in my opponent shoes. That helps (a lot) to.

With allies, its easier. I dont have to plan much in advance, but with axis, i feel i need to.
With allies i just play sometimes.
And with axis i play rarely, and this game is unique too, so, maybe that counts too.
With allies i loose time to combine the nations. Thats tricky with allies.
With Axis its more individual play, but I would say i need time for buyings, its a lot of options. Especially Germany and Japan.
