13L G40 Infrastructure vs Gamerman01 (+10 Allies) + tech


  • @Infrastructure:

    the only reason I mention it is because in all my games as axis I’ve yet to have a good luck german first turn of any kind…

    It’s all part of the game, but I kinda feel due.
    Luck for the axis early on has a huge game impact. � I’ve seen it against me too many times.

    Ah, that helps explain it.

    I thought “man, the guy is talking bad luck right out of the gate and most of his battes went great”

    I’m on a very long bad luck streak on AA guns.  Mine always miss, enemy’s hits me.  Beware.  :wink:


  • @Infrastructure:

    @Gamerman01:

    I wouldn’t call that a bad luck turn
    111 went poorly, everything else went great or about average

    Seems about average to me

    down 1-2 aircraft in sz111 and 2 mech in france more than i should, but up a sub and 2inf.  only a slightly badluck turn…

    That’s not how I look at it.  I don’t look at the median result and then compare the actual to it.  You have to consider that you avoided disaster in a lot of places.

    Like you said, it could have been a lot worse.

    I think you should be happy because

    1. No disaster in France
    2. You didn’t lose 106 - losing means I keep a transport and destroyer
    3. You won a 50/50 in 91
    4. No losses in Yugo, giving you more infantry on the front lines early
    5. French didn’t hit you twice

    So not great (like you were hoping for), but not bad, not bad at all.

    thanks


  • 5$ heavy bombers with US on turn 1, really?
    :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:


  • I was so over due

    My other opponents thank you for taking the hit


  • At least they’re neutered heavy bombers.

    Not even that exciting to get them anymore  :cry:


  • Also, at least I couldn’t attack with them immediately in a big battle!

    Perhaps you won’t be so “lucky” when I get LRA for the first time  :-D
