Boldfresh (Allies +6) vs. Nerquen (Axis), G40, no tech

[boldfresh]

these are the games that i HATE.  playing a guy that has no idea what he’s doing but the LUCK goes ridiculously in his favor.

you may not have gotten so lucky in the sea battle but you just got HELLA lucky in the yunnan battle.  might have just won the game for you there, where it should have almost CERTAINLY lost you the game.

hang on gonna edit

[boldfresh]

nah leave it as is.  another battle you should have been crushed in,
i lost a couple more units than i should have.  :roll:

your yunnan stack should be COMPLETELY dead now after a 1-2 attack from the chinese (who should have gotten them down to a few units) and the british (who would have finished them off).  :roll:

no worries dude, i’ve actually had far worse players than me win against me with incredible strings of luck…  maybe you are the next one.

[boldfresh]

oh and let’s not forget that the 2 subs i allowed to live have already stolen FIVE ipc.

[boldfresh]

i forgot i can land the chinese ftr in burma.  i would like it there as well.

[boldfresh]

and the chinese infantry in shensi.  :roll:

[boldfresh]

here’s the map.

[boldfresh]

sorry i got so frustrated with the dice.  if you continue to get so lucky, you may get the beautiful experience of being able to learn a lot AND get a win.  :-)

[boldfresh]

in my opinion the chinese edit is ALMOST entirely unrelated to the british
but if you feel STRONGLY otherwise, then go ahead with the first map i posted.

[nerquen]

I am ok with the edit in China, but please reroll the Kweichow battle here…. I think that battle influences the China a lot. If you don’t want to reroll Kweichow (and risk a loss of a plane) then I will keep China per your original move.
