@Argothair that sounds fine yeah I don’t care about the dice server. I’ve never once opened an email from Marti to see what they were lol. As for settings, I know that the map is set to Low Luck, which I’m ambivalent about. I’m generally opposed to LL as it seems to take the variance out, and that’s what makes games unpredictable. The battle calculator already takes out a lot of the guesswork, I dunno. If you have strong feelings we can leave it but I prefer dice.

Haha, to be honest I didn’t even look at the board when asked about scrambles; I just tend to be hesitant with them to be overprotective of London. I’m sorry you got diced but probably it will not matter. You are the better player and I’m just easing into competitive play.

Jason, I think we can just do common sense OOL. If it’s a big battle, or if it’s statistically plausible one of us could get diced (<90% win rate for either side). I think we should pause and ask. In situations like the Russian Baltic fleet is in, max defense please, transport is just fodder.

@wizmark Ok you got it I’ll probably send it down to Queensland, my bad. I’ll read the notes file in full obviously I’m rusty. Sorry!

Absolutely fine!

Yes having trouble keeping the games straight lol.

The fighters? Yes I have never seen that before. Again, I think I will lose almost assuredly but it is giving my otherwise pitiful siege of Germany some teeth

It’s definitely covering up for my lack of expert strategy. Now let’s see if these Tommies are as skillful, scrambles in FIC?

Also, you’ll get it on the next go

@Elvis66 Give me a week or so to finish one of my four games and I’ll take you on; I’m new to competitive play as well. But I can barely keep my games straight as it is so just need a little time.

Fair enough, yeah I’m gonna give it a rest for a month or so, get the bug back.

We have to right? In order to get credit for a match? Isn’t League best of 3? I’d honestly like to take a break from G40 but I don’t want to deny you League points so if it is indeed best of 3, then sure, let’s re-rack. I’ll post G1 combat move once I answer this best of 3 question for myself.

Pejon_88 (X) over The Shrike (L). Still winless, Maybe I should try Risk…

Peter, it is a moot point; I realize now you will take and hold HI no matter what I do, and that’s game. Well played! I will post in the League results.

Peter, what do you suggest we do? I prefer not to go back; are you saying you lost to tactical bombers and wouldn’t have? Or gained two? Not sure I follow.

@Pejon_88 said in Pejon_88 (X) vs. The Shrike (L + 12) BM3:

You are struggling well :)
One thing I wanted to ask you is if you keep an eye on the objectives that earn you extra cash. For example, the easiest one for the US is keeping one land unit either of morocco, algeria or tunisia when controlling all three as the allies.

Thanks! Yes, I really need to keep a better eye on those, the margins in this game are so small at the competitive level.
