G40 league cow vs erwinrommel (allies+15)

[Cow]

No china bonus buys me some time before I got to deal with it again.

[Guest]

Ill do my turn in a hour or 2, still at job. Id recommend taking a closer look on your odds in z97 before you deside to scramble  :evil:

[Cow]

ah the destroyer. I still scramble.

[Cow]

Guess I needed that sub. oh well, got to get lucky here. I should have stacked next to egypt I guess or been safer with a dd buy.

[boldfresh]

huh oh cow.  looks like rommel has you outclassed and outgunned.  maybe you should stick to writing playbooks - you could be more of a theoretical guy.  guess dice can’t save you EVERY time.  :r

Cow is about a good player to play against as I can find. If you claim to be better
your next on my hitlist. I’ve won our norwegian league I have time to play online again :)

Rommel, thank you for arguing on my behalf. According to bold, I am supposed to play safe and optimal every game, taking risks means I am trying to luck out, I cannot have fun, I am not allowed to have fun.

You write the books that CHANGE THE GAME cow.  U cant say youre the best and have the best strats and also say when u lose u were just messin around and sound very consistent.  Just have fun OR prove that your strats hold water.  :roll:

[boldfresh]

Not necessarily an either or ya know.  You can play optimal AND have fun  :lol:

[Cow]

I am not messing around. I just do not want to play one way every time.

[boldfresh]

I know this much.  Its going to be fun to teach YOU how to play axis effectively Cow.  You are dead in the water here in both theaters and round 2 isnt even complete.   :lol:

[Cow]

Who are you kidding.

[boldfresh]

there is more than 1 way to play the axis effectively cow problem is you don’t know any of them

[boldfresh]

I’m not sure though which is weaker your axis or your allied play?

[boldfresh]

I was thinking you’re axis play wasn’t quite as bad as you’r allied play but now I’m not so sure

[Cow]

Unlike you I play for VCs and I do not assume my opponent is going to make a blunder. You do the same thing every time with the axis. Unlike you the people I play know what they are doing with the allies. Unlike you I know how to climb out of a bad spot.
