[boldfresh]

there’s always a fly in the ointment for me.  :-)

[boldfresh]

hang on, there may be a more attractive option for me in noncom…

[boldfresh]

nah, let’s go with what i have.

looking forward to the allied responses from here on out, should be quite informative.

[hobo]

I seriously cannot believe my dicing against you so far.  Eastern Poland was a bait and you took it and won big time. :roll:

[boldfresh]

I considered that you were baiting me.  But the fact that the odds were I would take it losing only an aircraft or two and that it blocked you from taking slovakia or poland made it too tempting.  :-)

[boldfresh]

And I did get diced probably just as hard in iraq but if I had to get diced in one of the two obv I would choose iraq  :-P

[boldfresh]

Dont worry im happy to give you a rematch same bid…

[hobo]

You need to run the odds again.  Your average lost was slightly over 100, 16 inf and 4 art only account for 64 that means 3-4 air and you don’t take it, or 4-5 air and you take it with an infantry.  Even the other battles could have gone bad since they were coin flip side.  Only dice I won was Iraq, woop dee doo  :roll:

My calc shows 16 inf and 4 art lost at the 47%ile mark.  So that was pretty dang close to the median result.

Winning with 2 infantry and 4 art left over was a top 10% result, though.

I believe Bold is right saying odds were he would only lose an aircraft or two.  After all, he could always retreat

Little too much meat in that trap, and not enough steel teeth  :-)

[gamerman01]

unless of course you’re desperate - then that’s a good bait to try and take out multiple aircraft…

I don’t “choose” battles when odds are against me in one way or another.  And in stark contrast your single defenders hit just about every time…  And the difference for eastern poland is if you had a bad first round, even if you retreated it would have looked totally different in that area.

sorry hobo, i decided to keep rolling up on my advantage - pure aggression.  if the dice stay within normal range that’s deadly.
