13L G40.2 Gamerman01 (Allies +9) vs. Jeff28 (Axis)

gamerman01

I could use some men for my trannies, running out of time.

That’s why I threw the 2 planes on the Phillipines - to hopefully take out 1 or 2 more ground units.

I think the secret to Allied success is to accept many sub-optimal battles. You need to have everybody getting involved and whittling away at Germany and Japan at every opportunity. Often this means < 50/50 battles, and this goes against most A&A player’s creed. Perhaps this is why everyone thinks the axis is stronger - because they’re not playing the Allies as effectively as they could be. Pretty sure I’m right, but I gotta get a lot more games under my belt.

Will probably be playing US/China/UK later this evening.

Meanwhile, I’ll let you worry about what tech I’ll get for 5 IPC’s. Or 2 techs…. :-D

Jeff28

No no, you’re going to miss your next five rolls to get back to 1/6 of the time.

Most of the time I undo the whole board and start over, so you could go the bottom of the history and start overfrom where I got done undoing before.

I didn’t see your scramble, sorry let me know if you want it redone.

@Jeff28:

Or I could quit buying them and guarantee I stay ahead for the rest of the game, just to bug you :wink:

No way I can stop gambling for tech. :roll:

I didn’t see your scramble, sorry let me know if you want it redone.

Please forget all about it. It’s absolutely fine. Either way was fine, which was why I was waffling. I answered to not scramble, and you went with it. 4 minutes later I changed my mind, but it was too late, and that’s just too bad for me.

Thank you again for being so gracious and a good sport. A real pleasure to play with a guy who plays fast, is gracious and a good sport, and who isn’t killing you :-)

gamerman01

Ahhhhhh….

Now that I’ve finished my SUB sandwich, I can get back to business… :evil:

That may be true, but that basically says the dice play the game for you. Some folks aren’t going to enjoy playing a game if their only shot to win is getting lucky on a coin flip.
