@Cow:

yeah I am amazed at how many subs lurk.

i’m not - i told you i get the worst dice ever.  i’m just amazed we damaged your battleship.

[boldfresh]

these round 1 moves will probably be some of the longest for us in the game.  so just chill cow - preempting the 30 or so posts you are about to slam the board with over the next 6 hours.  :lol:

[Cow]

Are you saying I should lose the sub and keep a fresh battleship? Nah dawg that ain’t me.

[Gargantua]

Far out!  Time for me to start adding pieces to the board…

[allweneedislove]

@Boldfresh:

excellent, i was hoping you would have a very good G1 - no excuses now…  :-)

great attitude. but you are wrong, that was not a very good g1.
that was the best g1 dice i have seen.

@Boldfresh:

excellent, i was hoping you would have a very good G1 - no excuses now…  :-)

great attitude. but you are wrong, that was not a very good g1.
that was the best g1 dice i have seen.

every sub surviving is certainly a rarity.  :-P

so the very best g1 love has ever seen…  hmmmm.  well cow, your luck is legendary but that’s good cuz you’re gonna need every shred of luck you can get.

[Cow]

It would be even better if the french convoy missed and if I walked out with more infantry.

I am only up 2 infantry and 2 subs. That is not that big of a deal, you guys did get 9 ipc worth of bid plus a bomber.

Plus Japan has not gone yet. What happens if Japan has a bad turn? Or UK1 goes smooth? Do we get pieces too?

[boldfresh]

i at least seem to recall one G1 better than that against me, which was Zhukov’s in our league game. crushed paris losing only 5 units AND survived all his subs.  course he didn’t take southern france AS WELL, so yeah, i think this qualifies as better you’re right love.

Do not have the exact statistics but 5%-10% of all games will come out like this. It happens more frequently than you think.

Most people only notice when G1 goes real bad like losing the battle for France or a bunch of air lost, the odds for one battle to go terribly during a turn is 5-10%, which is about the same odds.

Compared to the average results + a couple of subs is not going to break the game the same way losing a battle of France breaks the game.

Southern france only got me +1 income. Those units would die to Italy anyway so it is not a huge issue from the big picture of things. The big picture is all that matters for the allies anyway.

The upper 0-5% is total loss 0-6 infantry on g1, which is something you will experience about as often as losing France battle. It does happen, but the nice thing is that those infantry are in France (far away from Russia) so you do get time to make your own luck happen. Where as losing France (which happened twice in this game) has a deeper impact as it cuts into the potential for taking london over and the potential for taking Russia over as mech moves to Russia in time for an ideal attack.

[boldfresh]

thanks professor cow where is j 1

[boldfresh]

What are the chances of an upper 5% g1 followed by an upper 5% j1 and when that happens what should the allies do?  just a rhetorical question…  :roll:  usually its what happens in games against me.

[boldfresh]

weird, i figured we’d see j1 right away

[dutchmand]

A perfect spot to make some smart ass comments about cattle and their feeding and milking schedule, but out of respect to Garg I’ll keep it in the barn for now, so to speak.

[dutchmand]

Sorry Bold. Doesn’t look like she will post tonight.

[boldfresh]

@DutchmanD:

Sorry Bold. Doesn’t look like she will post tonight.

never seen her stall so much before.  hmmmm, probably needs a little time to chew the cud

[boldfresh]

cow, i need you to post your combat move before rolling your dice.  it’s easy, you just click “post move summary” before you roll.

let’s just all get in the habit.

[boldfresh]

our game ID is 30447 but the dice coming over say it is game 30270.  what’s up with that?
