[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

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.

yeah I pray to the dice gods baby  :lol:  but when you get mediocre dice like you have in this game you get walked all over

[Cow]

It is only round 2. Europe looks bad and the Pacific looks nice.  Guess what half of the board I will be playing in our game?

[Cow]

I probably should not have opened with southern france. It is a legit opener though, just a little added risk.
