X-DAP-05 TeamBoldDutch vs. DairyQryn

[Gargantua]

Yeah but it’s luck that spawns other luck. Exponentially!

Say you fail a battle, and you have to do the battle AGAIN next turn, that’s a significant cost, now you are +TIME!  (INCREDIBLE LUCK!!).

But I can already see the writing on the wall. Despite this INCREDIBLE LUCK! The allies are going to pull this one off.

[boldfresh]

bad strategy + fantastic luck < great stategy + bad to moderate luck.

[Cow]

So true Garg, especially since the axis are looking to win before round 8. :0

[Cow]

Maybe it is best I wait for Veqryn to take over his countries. I want to see what he does with those countries. I just like playing japan.

[boldfresh]

you’re goin’ down Cow - HARD!!!

[dutchmand]

Need scamble order for Zero Uno in Tokyo.

[Cow]

I cannot open the file as I am not home right now.

However all I read are 2 fighters attacking sz 6 and 2 infantry moving into Korea, if that is the case then I will scramble my 1 fighter.

Sounds like a small risk for a big reward. I can live without the fighter.

[dutchmand]

Ugh, that was 92% to clear.  US loseses without killing the Jap fighter.  The dice are brutal so far.

Well cow looks like your luck knows no bounds.  I sure hope for your sake you win this one cuz I dont know how you could ever live it down with if you lost with the dice smiling on you so favorably early…  :lol:

[boldfresh]

hey Dutch look at it this way now it’s like we gave cow a 30 or 40 bid with the axis. Which is probably about right to give him a chance to be competitive.  :wink:

[Cow]

My mental math said 10% defense. Probability of going fighter for fighter above 50%. Payout of 33 ipc (more like 26 because the transport would die on J3).

So it seemed like a good move to make.

Yes, you need luck to win games.  Always need luck, not many people will turn down a scramble in that spot, so it comes down to luck for both sides!

That is just how dice games go.

I dont begrudge it I am very glad.  I dont want one of your quick flame outs…  :lol:

[boldfresh]

let’s just say some need more luck than others and leave it at that

[Cow]

Probability of going fighter for fighter 70%+, which is 20% better than a 50/50. That is not something people turn down.

Odds of losing the fighter without killing a fighter compared to odds of winning and the payout… it is a good risk to make.

Yes I have had some real fast league games. Nothing wrong with a quick game.

[boldfresh]

I don’t want a quick game with you cow I want to grind you into the dirt slowly  :evil:
