It never fails. After a big miss, the defense will always hit in the next round. Invariably.

I’d actually prefer the defense and the attack to hit at first, having to wait 15s with such odds of a all miss…

A “polite” bombing of London! Winston won’t even need to give a speech today.
Yeah, I’m currently doing a great SBR campaign ^^
Sent 6 bombers on AA guns ; one has been killed, the 5 others have done a great amount of damage… 10 in total :lol:
I know - I’m tracking it :-D
Just compiled my version of stats for this game last night….
Overall, in my assessment, the dice have been very even. They have been even throughout the game, too, so it’s not like one of us got early luck and the other got late luck.
I wanted to complain after getting hit 2 for 2 with Russia there, but I really can’t.
I’m climbing uphill because you’re a very fundamentally sound player, and because I chose the wrong side, in my opinion. But anyway, it hasn’t been the dice… :-)
Now I ask myself, am I learning anything from this game? Unfortunately I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is not to take the Allies under 13 or 15. :-)
Unfortunately I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is not to take the Allies under 13 or 15. :-)
:roll: Which I thought I had learned a dozen times over last year. My bidding was influenced by the way two different players performed against me recently with the Allies…. Made me think they’re not so weak.
Honestly, I believe that starting at 9, the Allies have a very decent chance.
If I had to give numbers, I would say that at the time being, I would perform something like 60-40 as axis wins if I was playing “against myself” with a bid between 3 and 8, and 50-50 with a bid of 9.
But this is mainly because I think I know quite well how to play the axis, whereas I’m still not 100% sure on what is the best allied play.
I played a lot a games as the allies at the beginning I was here, a lot of them with no bid or 3 or less bid, and I won almost all of them, and always in a KJF. But since then, the axis play has been improved around here, and I’m not as confident anymore with the allies ; thus I bid higher.
But from my experience, a very few minor details and the allies can have a very strong situation very fast. Axis really need to respond very well to counter the allies.
Anyway, just my current feelings about the balance ; and my conclusion is that I believe I’m still missing something on allied strategy :)
