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.

[Cow]

I do not think Europe is over, I just might be delayed a bit is all. Europe is not over yet. Still some battles up ahead.

[boldfresh]

Cow I will grant you this… when your dice are white hot you can be dangerous but if theyre not you are just run of the mill.  Sorry gotta tell it like it is.

[Cow]

you will always need some favorable dice. You can’t win a game without hitting, duh.

[Cow]

You act like this game is over, it is not. I had too ambitious of a start and it flopped, it is in the range of expected outcomes, I am okay with it.

[boldfresh]

We will see cowbells we will see.  We all know how legendary your dice can be so I guess ya never know.
