Nix is overall an aggressive player, especially early with the Axis (you kind of have to be).
One of his trademark moves is the UK1 attack on FIC. He usually does pretty well with it.
The problem is that early on he will be aggressive, and then have insufficient forces available to follow up with. Early gains that put units very far forward and vulnerable to counter-attack with no chance to counter-counter is generally a bad idea. Of course if you do not counter effectively, those early gains do accumulate some nice Axis income which will play havoc with Allied strats. :roll:
He also is known for pulling things out of his posterior… some totally unexpected move in the mid-game to shake things up (especially if he feels he is behind in the game).
Playing Nix is never dull. And if you are a player that is used to a “traditional” game and have trouble being flexible with your own overall battle plans and strategies, then Nix is going to give you a hell of a run for your money!
I rate you fairly highly Nix, you were my 2v2 Tourney after all and if it wasn’t for my blunder in the Title match, we might have had a chance of actually taking the Championship. You make some ballsy moves that pay off most of the time were as with others it dosen;t most of the time.
Look out everyone in next years 2v2 Touney :evil:
In order to rate ur gameplay, i neeeed pix.
Gimme teh pix0rz.
also any hawt sisters u got.
I’d play you a game of TripleA and rate u, but I’m already neglecting the three challenges I’m SUPPOSED to be playin. I think downloading an executable to work would be a bit much, and I don’t have much time at home :cry:
dun forget teh pix

Not to mention our second game that you ran away from like a poodle with its tail between its legs . . . :-D
Nix, on a scale from 1 to 10 you rate 17.65 fish sticks. (guess what I had for dinner tonight)
I think Gamer said it best. Currently, you’re a bit too much naked agression, not enough battlefield vision. If you want to move beyond the ~60% win rate, you’re going to have to rely a little less on favorable dice in risky battles. Not that what you’re doing right now doesn’t work, it’s just that when the dice don’t fall right, you’ll be putting yourself into a much tougher place to have to fight back from.
Good reading so far, i think you all have valid points on my short commings.
And I will try to improve that :)
hawt naked aggression.
hawt. :-D
I would say your weakness is that you fight battles that you are statistically supposed to lose badly
am I remembering right… you attack Switch’s BB and tRN with 1 FTR 1 Bomber?
your strength is that you win those battles more than I would. In fact, you win those battles more than I win battles I should win 90% of the time.
am I remembering right… you won that battle?
another strength is that you always mix it up and try new and daring things. You also dont get discouraged at all and keep fighting to the end. And you are always fair and respectful, and a great sport.
I have to agree.
That is one of the best things about Nix (and one of the things lacking in me). He is a heck of a sport, and is a gentlemen always.
To save my attack on bb, trn (sitch) i pressent the following resuklt from frood)
Attacker results:
4.86% 2: 1 Fig, 1 Bom. no units. : 0 IPCs
19.12% 1: 1 Bom. 1 Fig. : 10 IPCs
76.02% 0: no units. 1 Fig, 1 Bom. : 25 IPCs
Defender results:
Probability % # units / losses
25.72% 2: 1 Tra, 1 Bat. no units. : 0 IPCs
32.04% 1: 1 Bat. 1 Tra. : 8 IPCs
42.24% 0: no units. 1 Tra, 1 Bat. : 32 IPCs
My goal was to kill the trn, everything else was a bonus. So i had a 74% probability to do that or better.
Then it´s of course a matter of opinion if it´s a smart trade or not.
Presuming it’s the transport in the Med and the only one there, it might be a good attack. Depends on the situation. :P
i personally think it is SUCH a good move that any opponents I play should TOTALLY do it!

If that’s good, then buying 2 more on Russia 2 would be AWESOME! Especially if Russia 3 is a bomber purchase (by then you should be under 20 IPC in income anyway with those two purchases for rounds 1 and 2. :P )

I do understand your view on it then :)
But as i said, it´s up to individual judgment if it´s a good trade or not, i would say it can be quite good, since germany gets in a difficult position regarding africa if the trn is lost.
But my main point was that this isn´t an attack that succeds 1 of 10 tries, it´s and attack that fulfill the goal 7 out of 10.
Overly aggressive? yes perhaps.
And i know my overly aggressive stance is something I will be working at in the future thanx for your input so far, looking forward for more :)
well, it helps to know my mentality to understand my opinion on this.
I seriously expect bad outcomes with every battle I roll. Not like average results, or below average results. I expect and prepare for that worst 15% or less outcome you see waaaay on the bottom of the frood estimates. So I never fight battles that I dont have a 80+% chance of winning. In fact, most of my battles are probably >95% chance to win. Its why I get SOOO pissed off when I lose a battle, because I when I do lose, its a <5% chance of happening.
Ive even given up 70% chances to take UK, because I know if I go for it, I will roll that 30% chance to lose. Seriously… go ask Gamer! he knows how bad my luck is. thats why he is such a good partner. He rolls like a leprecaun on crack.
So the reason why I would never go for the BB and TRN with 1 FTR and 1 BOM, is because I would lose with 2 FTR and 1 BOM, or 3 FTR… so I could NEVER win with 1 FTR and 1 BOM.
You need to get up on the horse again :)
But the truth of the matter of course is that if you do 10 70% attacks, your only like 5% chance of winning all so some will be lost.
