13L G40.2 Gamerman01 (Allies +9) vs. Jeff28 (Axis)

@Gamerman01:

French succeeds on action: Political Action French To War With Japanese

French are diplomatic geniuses.  They succeeded.  8-)

And then they went on to successfully sink a Japanese transport!  Such studs!  :mrgreen:

Course they FAILED to block the Japanese with a destroyer on J3  :lol:

[Jeff28]

Help me out. You spend 5 bucks on 1 tech token that doesnt stay and rolled the key USA and British techs.

Right? Are you serious?

Have you hacked the dice server?

[boldfresh]

no, gamer is TRADITIONALLY more fortunate than average on tech rolls.  he is “charmed” as you might say, which is why i would NEVER play him in a tech game.

good luck Jeff!!  :-o

good luck Jeff!!   :-o

He’s right.

But I have spent more than you probably think.  I have spent 35 IPC’s on 7 dice and got 2 hits.  That’s above average, but not a whole lot.

Upper 33%ile where 50% is the median.

Bold has experienced much higher success rates from me than that in the past, and at the worst possible moments.  Consider yourself lucky so far.  :-)

[gamerman01]

I mean, heck, I got super subs when the USA could not attack anybody!  Watch out when I get LRA when you’re not expecting it!!

[gamerman01]

Put another way, with any LESS success, I would be UNLUCKY.  1 hit in 7 tries is of course not lucky.  So I have to be either above or below average right now.  Sorry, but I’m above.

You should be more worried about all the other devastating dice results you’ve endured!  :evil:

[boldfresh]

granted, tech certainly has a much diminished effect in G40 compared to AA50, but still, there is already so much more strategy in G40 that i have not yet had the slightest desire to add tech to the mix.

@Jeff28:

USA Shipyards and LRA are right up there too.  I wouldn’t call them THE key techs  :-)

What about British rockets or paratroopers?  Now THOSE would KILL
I still haven’t recouped the 15 I’ve spend with the UK on shipyards yet.  Quit yer whinin’ and play!!  :wink:

[gamerman01]

1 more comment while I’m waiting for you!

You can’t complain when you haven’t bought any!  You can’t win if you don’t play!  You could have had 4 techs by now, but we’ll never know!  :-D

Zone 113 sub submerge or fight?

[gamerman01]

Map

[gamerman01]

Look at the situation in Siberia, Bold.

If I hadn’t attacked Korea on R1 and if he attacked Amur on J1, I wouldn’t be able to stop him in Siberia right now like I am.
He could just go right around me.

Now maybe I should have retreated full bore toward Moscow and not stopped, but even then it’s good to have the bottleneck up there.  He could go north from China or south to China at will, and flank me easily.  Not to mention that air could freely pass over Mongolia.

No, I’m still sure the attack on Korea R1 is definitely the move to make.  At least for me :)

[gamerman01]

No reason to submerge unless I score a hit and get missed, so I guess I’m waiting for no reason.

[Jeff28]

scramble and no submerge
