Giving me a 100% chance on Sydney J2 and a 98% chance at the Atlantic allied fleet had nothing to do with it.

[gamerman01]

Ah, we now have both sides of the story!

[MrRoboto]

With all due respect HopLight, but you’re not displaying the game right here.

Sydney - yes, you got Sydney. It was a slight mistake by me, but it didn’t matter that much. Pacific still looks about even, maybe a small advantage for you. That’s okay, I’m not saying you play badly or anything. But it’s not like it didn’t cost you anything to get Sydney. It’s still very open in the Pac.

Atlantic fleet: Yes, I already admitted to that huge blunder at the end. I was not putting any effort anymore in that game, since I lost it in Turn 1 already.

I rolled under average in basically every single battle in the Med and Atlantic, especially the attack on ethiopia and your damaged bb.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not criticizing you in any way. You have nothing to do with the dice. You played very solid, gave me no chance to come back. All I’m saying is, that with 2 equally strong players, dice rolls like what we had early on decide games.
Maybe if I was a much stronger player than you, I might have overcome that early deficit. But I’m not.

Truth is - after you won two games against me, I still don’t know if you’re better than me. You probably are, since you play safer than me and I didn’t have backup plans for getting diced. On the other side though, I’m pretty confident I would have won Game 1, if I wouldn’t have lost 2 devastating battles in a row due to heavy bad luck.

Again, I want to point out that you deserve these two wins. You made few mistakes and exploited many holes in my defense - created by mistake or dice. However, we both know the dice favored you heavily in both games. It would be nice if you actually acknowledge that. (Like you did in the thread already)
Your last post here makes it look like I was complaining about bad dice, all the while these weren’t the reason for me losing. They were. We both don’t know who had won either of the games if the important battles would have been at least slightly average.

Default by rule 5e, but if he comes back and wants to play, I will retract the result and we will play it out.

[HopLight]

You had some bad dice, especially in the first game. Game 2 Although your UK1 was terrible, I did roll quite poorly with Italy while killing the French fleet and failing to kill that cruiser as well as with Japan losing a lot of extra planes (4/4 Chinese on defense, AA rolls). But I dislike getting into too much discussion about dice. I agree that the dice heavily favoured me in game one especially the one big battle. I will also agree that I got a fantastic opener game two.

However I dislike that you after the game say that you put no effort into the game since it was already over. If you feel that way I suggest you either take a huge risk to come back, or just surrender immediately. I put a fair amount of effort into my turns and if you are not playing your best (as you claim) then you are honestly wasting my time.

I have had worse openers than what you had and come back (losing all German planes but 2, doing J1 with the Chinese holding Yunnan and Americans holding Philippines) it can be really challenging and fun to play from behind and makes you have to really evaluate all options.

Thanks for the game Karl. Your reputation of being an enjoyable opponent definitely held true.

Had to call this one as he hasn’t responded for awhile. Happy to restart once he returns as it’s nearing the end game and he’s a gentlemanly opponent

Thanks!

I have to say, play has really picked up IMO.  Skill level is rising across the board and old hands like me fall by the way side.  8-)

Amazing, I was lucky with the dice numerous times and he still completely crushed me.
Due partly to dumb mistakes from me, but more to his brilliant play.

Much respect to you, sir. It was an honour to play against you, although I fear I was not much competition for you.
