L25 PTV Stucifer (X+11) vs Axis-Dominion (L)

[axis-dominion]

you’re a skilled player i can tell, very skilled actually, why are you relying on the swing of a big battle to try to win? same thing i was telling peirce

[Stucifer]

I dislike late game A&A because the plane stacks get ridiculous. I realize that’s probably weird but it bugs me for some reason.

I felt like the game is pretty hopeless for Axis after Southern France so I took a big gamble to try and stay in it.

I do agree that the dice were absolutely absurd.

[Stucifer]

You probably have better vision of what future turns could look like and see how a player of your caliber would turn the screws with Axis and stay in it without the risk, but I am not prescient and have only played maybe a couple dozen games past round 10.

[axis-dominion]

cal lit a draw then? since i could’ve easily won earlier but gave you a second chance, and you’re unwilling to return the favor… so we just call it good? which is too bad as it’s a very good game

[Stucifer]

I’d definitely be up for compromising a bit on the dice here, I am going to load up LL and see what it looks like for that battle, I think we could edit some German units away if that keeps you piqued

[Stucifer]

Gotta post this to dice tales though for your personal hall of fame :)

yeah it’s been happening to me a lot actually, it’s really tiring… i work hard on the game with strategy and positioning, and then someone (usually much lower ranked but with good skill) will take a big swing and get super lucky. it’s getitng stupid

[Stucifer]

This is low luck (all dice incl AAA) looks like

[axis-dominion]

i’m not sure why that’s very different from the avg tuv in regular dice battle calc… is the bc buggy for some reason?

[Stucifer]

I was also keen on the AUR-A stat [my nickname for “Avg Units Remaining - Attacker”]

in the regular dice it shoots up to 17, and obviosuly I got above average on that as well

I believe the edge cases heavily skew the average #s here, as a few sims with brutal AAA dice will throw it super negative

[axis-dominion]

you mean average tuv? not units remaining

[Stucifer]

I look much more closely at the units remaining and manually calculate TUV swing based on that, actually- the average can be heavily obfuscated by edge data

i look at that as well, but still doesn’t change that this was an absurd result… and combat hit differential of -20.67 ??? don’t ever recall seeing it that bad wow

[Stucifer]

Any 50/50 battle is going to be very off the average TUV; for example if I went to the bitter end and you had 10 units remaining (avg units remaining - defender was 15) it would be about a -140 swing

[axis-dominion]

ok so what are you willing to return in favor, anything??

[Stucifer]

How about we go with the AUR-A, edit down to 5 tanks and the 12 planes that lived?

[Stucifer]

bad ss, bounced between 17 and 18 AURA

[axis-dominion]

ok that’s reasonable at least. thank you. keeps the game alive and your debt is paid :)

[Stucifer]

@axis-dominion go ahead and edit when you take Russia’s turn :)
