In my opinion, the goal is to play so that you don’t have to really consider the dice. This gets tricky when you match with someone at your level though! That’s my biggest take-away from playing against superior players.
-
Well, dice always has to be considered, even when you safeguard. Well, I guess I’m marking words here, but believe I understand your sentiment of not doing risky attacks or exposing risky defenses. It’s definitely possible.
-
You definitely have to adjust if you mostly play weaker players and then you get your equal. If you don’t take chances against your equal, you will almost always lose.
-
And if you don’t play very defensively, you can beat the weaker players faster.

:p Maybe these are just principles that apply to most games, sports, and war?! Contests of any kind?

Know your enemy.

If you manage to get the strategic upper hand early on, I reckon you don’t actually have to take chances against equal opposition. An better opponent will try to wrest this advantage from you, probably by taking some chances here and there.
Usually a stronger player manages to exploit mistakes better (doesn’t even have to be blunders) and even perhaps unlock some dirty tricks like opening territories through a neutral crush or some surprising can-opening or such.

Most likely against your equal, the upper hand is from dice. And if you are the one that’s behind against your equal, then you are the one who needs to make something happen. Same thing you said, just other side of same coin :smile_cat:

A&A is just such a freaking awesome game for these reasons. Plus it has army men, tanks, ships and planes. What’s not to like. You just can’t stun an adversary the same way as in A&A. The right combination of cunning, oversight, and pure luck can just… destroy.
Or as Karl7 always used to say - KILL KILL KILL!!!

Can you tell it’s not my turn in my games?! :thinking_face: :worried: :joy:

Frustration I sense. Mhmm.

Mr Roboto and Shin Ji. Past legends.

@trulpen as if millions of martie dice suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
-
My marti dice always cries out in terror. Marti is almost never my friend. Hate the bastard.

Like when I had a long streak of losing over 80 % of my strategic bombers by treat of aa during SBR. Should be 16,7 %.
-
LOL not taking chances with a weaker opponent means not doing SBR ;) ;)
-
I used to think MARTI was nuts, and then I went back to rolling real dice… They’re just as nuts. MARTI’s probably pretty dang representative
-
Ah, it’s been over 10 years since you could do SBR with impunity.
