It’s like my Russian front against JWW - I have overwhelming odds but am barely trading infantry for infantry.  My luck will turn one of these days.

I feel so fortunate to be getting favorable dice against a very high quality player - my two toughest games are RD and Zhukov and the game with RD just ended with a terrible attack against Italy.  Those closing dice are representative of what I endured throughout the game.  Basically, the game was over with G1, which was the most devastating display of opening dice I have ever seen…

Thanks for the link to the other game - I’ll go have a look now.

Zhuk is an accomplished A&A player, and it seems Dragon is pretty good too (I haven’t played him yet, nor have I really watched any of his games, but am going by the results of his games against players I do know a bit about).

I need to review the other round 3 tournament games before too many more days pass.  Before a move was made in any of those games I would pick Yoshi over Joe and Zhuk over Matt, but I don’t know about Anchovy vs. Dragon.  I would lean toward Anchovy, but I think whoever gets better dice would win that one.

I am not aware of who is winning each of those games (except that Zhuk won with a lucky defense of Japan or he would have possibly even lost).

And, of course, I predict that I will handily defeat JWW.  (Fully aware anyone can read this)  :-)

[gamerman01]

Looked at that game.

Z2 - never seen anyone attack with only 1 sub and 1 fighter.  I attacked JWW in Z2 with 2 subs and a fighter and lost everything, and he lost nothing.
Z9 - that’s a big setback when you lose both boats in Z9 to a sub.  I try this with Germany from time to time
He took a lot of hits in the other battles.  The way you were talking, I thought he only took one or two hits.  Look at my G1 in Tourney round 2.  It’s not often you can clear Egypt and Z2 both at once, but I did with 2 tanks remaining in Egypt, and lost nothing, not even the sub, in Z2.
Tourney round 3 vs. JWW he got a way better G1.  He couldn’t attack Egypt because of the bid, but he only lost 2 infantry and a sub.

2 fighters against Z12 is also too light.  And he did get hit once.
So yes, I’ve seen better G1’s, and very recently.  Don’t you agree?

Look at these maps

11S02_Gamerman01(x)_v_DD(13)_1941_01a.AAM
Gamerman01_v_JWW_G1.AAM

[gamerman01]

Note that against DD I did not attack Z12 nor did I attack Z9.  I can’t believe anyone would go for Z9, Z2, Egypt, and Z12 all at once and clear them all.  It’s way too risky for my tastes.

[gamerman01]

JWW left Z9 alone and Egypt because of the bid, but cleared Z12, Z2, Z6, Ukr, EPl, and BSt with, as I said, the loss of 2 infantry and a sub.

yeah, that’s what I’m saying, he went for ALL 4 battles and won them ALL!  i should have just conceded right then probably, and save us both (especially me) a lot of effort.  of course, I did learn a few things in the game, so I guess it was not a complete waste.  I am hoping he will allow me a rematch so I can see if it was just his incredible dice that won it for him (they didn’t stop with G1).

[gamerman01]

Yes, I see.  He cleared them all, but he did lose quite a few units in the process.  But you started UK1 with zero transports, which hurts.  And I hear you about the luck after G1.  Can’t win 'em all, especially with dice games.
