Strategy can always be trumped by truly miraculous dice… absolutely no way around it… it happens.  Thats why garg made it double elimination.  Your chances of getting that luck in 2 of 3 games against us are nil.  :-D

Would you like to play a low luck game? You would be surprised to see how much luck is involved in low luck.

[Veqryn]

low luck games have different bids from full luck (dice) games, just fyi

whichever side has the “most attacks to do” in the first round (normally the side that goes first, but not always), benefits far more from low luck than the other side

this is why the bids for a low luck game of AA50th 1941 are like 15 for the allies right now

on a side note, this thread should be locked

no, i do not want to play low luck.  odds are your luck will come crashing down, and it will probably happen in your last 2 games.  that’s where you will be exposed.  the sad thing is you have no idea how much trouble you were in that game…  just no clue.  but whatever, we know and that’s all that matters to me.

cheers

regarding the locking of the thread, i’m not sure why that would be necessary.  when we needed it to be locked, there was not a moderator available anywhere that could do anything about it apparently.  which is why i have tried to start support for getting an actual acting moderator for the burgeoning G40 population.  there are like 200 games already in the league through less than half the year and we have no acting moderator.

as to cow and my discussion at this point, no one is namecalling or being unruly in anyway, so i’m not sure how you or anyone else is being negatively impacted.

as far as low luck is concerned, just not interested in ever playing it.  i want cow and guys like cow to be playing the game  presupposing good luck, it’s to the advantage of the strategic player much more often than not.

cheers

my offer of a league game still stands cow.  you need to stay sharp for the final ya know.

:wink:

[Veqryn]

IF you guys play a game, make sure to make it a “Best of X”, where X is at least 3 games, preferably like 5 or 7

league can only be best of 3 (another outdated league rule that should be changed) but yeah, whaddya say cow?

all the earlier trash talk aside, i do respect the game you play - it is highly effective when it works.

we can each play one side with an agreed bid, then if we each win once, we can straight up bid for game 3.  another thing to consider, i play a very fast game and so do you.  we can knock these out lickety split - you up for it?

[Cow]

My number of global wins compared to losses, was nothing but pure luck. If I play more games than my luck eventually even out. WHY WOULD I DO THAT?

[Cow]

It is OKAY. Many use my strategies to great effect!

[boldfresh]

haha.  i understand why you don’t want to play.

it’s like the fish that was sitting at a table with a bunch of sharks and went all in with 2% to win and sucked out.  that’s the best time for that newbie to get up from the table and leave.  problem is, you still gotta win one more game.  :wink:

@Cow:

most people have no idea how to play this game yet.  you are the guy putting up strategy guides, so yes, people are following them.  i wouldn’t conclude much more than that yet.  :-D

[Cow]

You should put up your own strategy guide!

[boldfresh]

@Cow:

i’m still working out strategies.  like the one that just failed miserably against you.  :-P

[boldfresh]

strategy guides are a waste of time for people that understand the true underpinnings of the game.  adaptation and creativity cannot be taught, they have to be absorbed over many many games and seeing many different situations unfold. A&A IQ cannot be gained from a strategy guide.  trying out many different strategies can lead to that, so you are not hurting anyone… but a strategy guide is very limited.

[Cow]

Probabilities and conquering countries.

All you need to know about axis and allies.

tell ya what…  i’ll play you in low luck in the league games.  then you’re worry about your luck running out is not in play.  after all your good luck, i know you are thinking some bad luck has to be coming your way right?

8-)

[Cow]

That is not how luck work. You can get super long hot streaks you know.

ok trust me I know. I’ve been on a bad luck streak with dice for about two years lol

the game is still fun for me though because I know that I need even that much better strategy to beat lucky guys like you.  unfortunately in this case the dice just never let up for one second from start to finish and that’s just not feasible.
