13L G40 Boldfresh vs. hobo (allies +5)

[boldfresh]

@hobo:

Not surprising you won a 11% battle.  I’ve come to expect such in this game.

I dont lose any more…  :-P jk

But reallt that floatilla was just bait.  Sorry my bait is working and yours isnt… thats frustrating.  No one knows that more from experience than me.  :-o

@Boldfresh:

Time to change the avatar to the Roadrunner?

[gamerman01]

Or back to the modern loaded carrier?

[hobo]

Not really bait when you give your opponent 85%+ of doing greater damage.  It’s not like anzac has anything better to do and it’s rare they can even do damage at all.  If they can suck equal attrition damage the allies should take that every day.  Slight difference when you give your opponent worse than even odds while inflicting 50% greater losses on average.  Odds mean nothing to lady luck anyways so what do I know.

btw gamerman01 why are you stalking?  Bad memories from yesteryear?  :lol:

[gamerman01]

Once you post once to a game, it pops up every time there’s a new post and I click it to clear it out.
Can’t believe how much you’re whining

So you played and beat me one time.  You also gambled on a lot of SBR and got extremely lucky.  You sure are full of yourself.  Looks like Bold and Allweneed are putting you in your place.

[hobo]

ahh I get it giggle

allweneedislove is a good player I can already see that in less than a game despite my two year absence here.  back then mistergreen was an awesome player from the folks I remember back in 2010 when I first played here.  it’s ultimately a luck game between two good players, but you still have look at it analytically.  those who can strategically position themselves to have the best odds over and over again are good players.  when people choose 1:2 odds that have a -50% average payback and win decisively, that’s a different story.  I keep tabs on how much cumulative over/under I am vs my opponent so if I comment on the dicing there’s a reason.  It’s amazing I can even win games no less a tournament eh?  :wink:

ps sbr is never a gamble.  calculate the odds.  3.5 x 5 is more than the cost of a bomber.  the side that can afford the attrition should always sbr if they got nothing better to do with bombers.

now now boys, let’s play nice.  this is a whole different game than AA50 so you guys should probably just take out your aggression on the battlefield.  hobo clearly has a high A&A IQ as he entered the league taking on three games with 2 of the top players.  he’s probably up for a game with the gamer eh hobo?

cheers

[hobo]

So can transports load during combat phase in a sea zone with an enemy ship?

[boldfresh]

No

[boldfresh]

Its always been that way as far as I know.  Certainly aa50.

[gamerman01]

@hobo:

So can transports load during combat phase in a sea zone with an enemy ship?

They can if it’s a transport or a sub.  Enemy surface ships stop loading EXCEPT
if you just declared war on that power, and you are presently in a sea zone with that enemy’s surface ship(s) you can load directly into that sea zone (you can’t move in to it from another zone)
