You mean for a followup Game you want to give me more? Sure, why not? But honestly I think that would not be fair. I actually feel like I should play the Allies with less than you had, and I would also play with mich less if you like. You name it I play it ;-) If it is too little i might request to make the game private though, out of the league…

[crockett36]

@myygames here’s my reasoning. tell me if i’m wrong. AndrewAAgamer has said 60 is even. i want to see what a pro does with 60 in the first few rounds. what i would do with 60 is irrelevant, being a second or third or fourth tier player. the opening moves of the axis are fairly standard, and i can ape some of your moves. so 60 please. it’s not about me winning, it’s about a good fair fight and learning from you. the spartans never went to war against a nation twice in a row lest they teach them too much. so do your worst. please and thank you.

@crockett36

Hi there,
First, as Said i will be on vacation until the 24th, so posting only and no games until then.

Second, I appreciate that you want to improve your play. Nevertheless i do not think that i will provide you with some kind of blueprint on how to win with the allies. I think allied play is very situational, and if you want to play me with A+60 I have some bid that I will play, but do not expect it to be a blueprint that you will be able to follow next game.

Third, remenbering our last two games, I think the First step to improve your game is to improve your tactics, Not your strategy. In our games you were often offering me very good combat odds. The latest example was the move to SZ6, where I could pulverize your 20 units with 40 of mine and more than double the strength. We had also a lot of other combats that were extremely good for me. You Must Not give your opponents these opportunities. In an online game I will always be able to detect and exploit these situations (while in a live games people might Miss them). So, some advise:

1. try your move in local game mode first. Do full turn, build, CM, NCM, place.
2. look what your opponent can do. Use the combat calculator to determine odds he has and average swing.
3. use a high zoom level in trippleA to gain overvie
4. if in doubt what your opponent can do safe the local file, Open again, set all unnecessary oponents to do nothing and Play the turn of your opponent.
5. eleminate all moves where your opponent has good odds and restart with 1.
6. also consider other combat outcomes and possibilities of good/Bad dice

Only when you are comfortable with the situation do the turn in real Mode.

[crockett36]

I will keep those things in mind. They have been mentioned before. The sz6 battle was of a different kind. That was a game ending, hail mary. I don’t like to resign with big battles left unfought. Or strategies not followed through with. Historically that is what happened at stalingrad, at kirsk, at the marianas, at iwo jima, etc. They knew they were going to lose for years and yet fought on and sought big battles and counter offensives to maybe, possibly, impossibly succeed.

I would like to see what you can do with the allies. I am convinced that most players who are dominating ana oob stick to the axis for a host of advantages that even 60 ipcs does not compensate for. I’m sure that it will be fun.

[Myygames]

@crockett36

Alright, then lets do it. as I said no trippleA before the 24th, but you can start the Game if you want. if you post your attacks I will be able to take a scramble decision before that Date.

My bid for 60 goes to russia mostly:
Fighter Volgograd
Artileries in Moscow, Ukraine, Novgorod, Archangel, belarus, Western Ukraine, karelia
Inf bessarabia
Inf Yunnan
Fighter scottland
Sub SZ98

Good luck!

[crockett36]

still on my radar. soon

I know that you are in the finals. Too bad you are the Axis, but …

When you get a chance, scramble?

@crockett36

Didn’t notice you had responded. Excited to see how this approach works. Hey the ool in 111 was obvious until the last one. I was keeping the subs. You probably would have kept the last fighter instead of keeping the damaged battleship. So roll the battle dice under the game tab. And take a bomber off if I get a casualty. TADA! Happy days!

[Myygames]

@crockett36 myygames-vs-crockett-r1.tsvg

@crockett36 here is R1

I just want to clarify that we do this game out of fun, without league result and without using the gameserver. Fully OK for me :-)

That is corrct, with all the subs present I would have lost the BB and kept the fighter. That would have meant I have a fighter agains your 2 bombers. I think you have not rolled for that battle, or have you?

[crockett36]

@Myygames Actually you are correct. 2 bombers vs 1 fig. We could change this over to emailing dice. Yes, this is for fun. What do you think about the destroy the destroyers approach? I hate to give you ideas, but I was tickled.

I am fully fine with local dice. This is for fun so none of us will cheat ;-)

You can run the 2 B vs 1 F battle locally and edit the result. I just wanted to make sure that you do the correction correct (and that you do not forget that the 2 bombers also need to hit)

Removing all DD is generally thought not bad, but a) I think 106 is dicy and might turn the other way, and b) i think not destroying 110 will turn against you later… but let’s see!

[crockett36]

myygames-vs-crockett-j1.tsvg

It was supposed to be a raid but turned into a victory. You got a bomber.

[Myygames]

@crockett36 did u leave two units in the seazone 6 intentionally (INF & ARTI)?

[Myygames]

@crockett36 myygames-vs-crockett-UK1.tsvg

please consider moving the transport and/or the units you left in SZ6
