@Arthur-Bomber-Harris

I love the game whether I win or lose.

Back in the mid 90’s I worked with this guy and we were blood enemies. One day I just happened to mention Axis and Allies (original) and he lit up. We then became best friends and played A&A every weekend for the next year plus. We were the A&A nerds and then other coworkers insisted we teach them how to play and they joined us on weekends.

I think it took me nine months to beat him for the first time. Some of our games lasted over a month since we were just playing Saturdays. Shortly before my first win, I had him. I invaded DC with six heavy bombers, and a trn with two inf. He had 2 inf and one fighter defending. Easy win for me. He rolled his AAA and hit 5 ones - and that’s how he kept me from winning my first game against him.

IIRC, I remember games from the original, where buying AAA actually was a legit strategy - they fired at planes flying overhead both to combat and back - so SU would have all these bare territories with nothing but a single AAA

I handled everything properly, but it would have been even better if I’d conducted it in a way that MARTI dice were not rolled at all.

Wouldn’t you know it the MARTI had a very different result than the one that counted on the forum

If it’s a bad look, I’m happy to talk about it but knowing you what amount I do, I think you understand. Still, I’ll feel better after I hear from you. To your credit, I know more than a couple of players who would have a meltdown.
