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

[gamerman01]

I hear ya and I don’t disagree

Shipyards made up a lot for my 2 gaffes and the interesting thing is you didn’t mention your lack of tech

LRA for Japan, for example, would be a big problem

Game on, then!

@Gamerman01:

Oops - re-reading this, I see this was a poor sentence.  The 2 thoughts in the same sentence are unrelated - guess I was rambling again

[Major Major]

You got my OOL, right?

[gamerman01]

Yep, and the India battle went swimmingly  :-)

Oh, just realized Greece was bigger than I thought
Was thinking Italy would get TWO NO’s this turn, but no…

Really trying not to rebut your comments - you DID at least mention once that you’re playing a good player - but to say there has been “extreme” luck seems whacked out to me.  I’ve played well over 100 A&A games over the years, and there was little “extreme” luck in this game.  Maybe you’re just more dramatic and use absolute words like “extreme” more lightly than I do…

It’s just that if you constantly cite luck, it will often seem that you are dissing the other player.  That is, that you are only losing because of luck and it has nothing to do with your opponent’s skill, and that will often be taken by people as disrespectful.

Just trying to help

[gamerman01]

Heck of a war!  Of course it’s always more fun when you’re in the drivers seat and getting decent luck, but this has been a fun game, thanks in large part to your neutral attack

I hope you’re having at least half as much fun as I am.

Cheers

[Major Major]

The extreme luck was on I2, when I failed an 87% battle to take syria, followed with you rolling 5 for 5 when you should have had 3 in sz98 rd2 and I also hit one less than I should.  EVen if you had hit 4, I still would have had the dmg batt left to retreat to protect my trans off greece where I was going to buy a german airbase, finish off your fleet and still had an italian batt and 2 trans in play for italy instead of nothing.  In fact by odds on that strafe I should have had a dmg batt and a crz to protectr those 2 tran.  Imagine that neutral crush into turkey with any support from italy.  Last round your 1 sub off italy raided for 5IPCS it was insult to injury…  That bad a luck early removed Italy from the game and I fwill most likelyl lose.  A great player exploits those kind of flukes and makes it even more extreme.  This is the last I speak of luck with you because we see it differently.  It is part of the game.  I have about a 10% chance to win my mind now, so no this game is not that fun for me anymore, but we carry on.

[Major Major]

I meant to move into ukraine, w/ ukraine and belarus, but forgot when i relaoded map.  There is no dice will you allow it?

[gamerman01]

No dice - of course - automatic no permission needed

I didn’t mean I hoped you were having fun only NOW, I meant throughout the game!

[Major Major]
