Cow (allies +13) vs. Bold

[Cow]

You should have stuck to your strategy. Attack Russia, hold egypt and try to win that way.

You are playing the Europe map now. USA makes 90 a round. ANZAC is in this game as well.  Russia is richer. You get Japan units that cannot be replaced. Then you have to deal with UK Pacific.

Good luck getting enough VCs to win.

[Cow]

The sad thing is, you could have had a good attack on Russia. Japan had the units available to make it hard for me to hold Egypt or to take it out right. The VC win was possible for you. Since you passed on it, I been stalling out until ANZAC and UK PAC rolls up. Also the longer the game goes the better since I make double your income. Does not matter what losses I incur along the way. You have to consistently kill double what you produce.

Cow, you know you’re far ahead and victory is assured, which is why I don’t understand your shenanigans with changing a combat move after rolling combat dice.  As you’ve been saying for awhile, you can just throw units at the Axis until you wear them down and win.  And also as you said, you lose 1 round of naval purchases - big whoop.  So why the under-the-table move?

Sounds like you’ve accepted it finally (to take back the bombing move, I think it was), so play on and wrap up this game, gentlemen.  Didn’t even have to look at the map for this one.

[Cow]

Eh sometimes you just forget to move that one unit to end an already finished game. Now I am stuck wasting my time.

Sad thing is I am the axis in several of my other games and things are looking great. I so want to concede to drop boldfresh rating for making me literally have to take 3 capitals to win.

You guys should just have judges step in and rule for the allies. Like instead of 3 capitals make it something ridiculous for the allies to win like all the pacific vcs plus, russia, egypt, volgograd, novgorod, london, and washington.

Then I could just do that.  instead of go another 8 rounds.

[Cow]

Seriously who makes someone take all 3 capitals?

[gamerman01]

He explicitly said he will probably quit after you take one.

If you look at my recent game with Bold, he drug it out against me too.  I only took Rome before he resigned.  I know it smacks of poor sportsmanship, but he just really hates to quit until he thinks he truly has 0% chance I guess.

Do what I did - finish him off, and don’t play him again.  Surprised you accepted the match with him in the first place, so in a way, you deserve it.  Anyway, you are implicitly agreeing to play by the G40 rulebook every time you play a league game, and the rulebook says Allies don’t win until they’ve taken and held all 3 capitals for a round.  If you wanted different victory conditions, that’s allowed in league, but you needed to agree to it before the game started.  So finish what you started, Cow.  You agreed to these victory conditions.

I don’t know how else to put it.  I will not require 3 capitals to fall.  But I want to at least do the japan move and see how the dice treat it.  Cow has had incredible luck in this game to get this map to where it is, why am I not allowed to roll dice to see if I can get lucky then resign?  Cow has been saying how he was putting this on Ai anyway so it is clear he didn’t see the z95 attack at that time.  Post all combat moves b4 dice are rolled the rest of the way if u want to play this way cow.  U cheated and I didn’t even call you out on it be cuz it’s a waste of time.  Play it out and put all powers but russia on Ai after this usa move like you said.you would and let’s see what happens.

I have been playing a friendly game with you… thought it went quite well until you pulled this silly shenanigans as gamer appropriately called it.  Let’s just play a couple more rounds and see what happens - I have very little chance to get lucky at this point but if I get as lucky as you did in Egypt I could have a chance.

[boldfresh]

I only went long enough against gamer to take a reasonable shot on a large chunk of Russian army.  When it didn’t go well enough ( ie not upper 1percent) I resigned.  I don’t see why this is so unconscionable especially when u got so luck earlier in the game twice cow.

[Cow]

Eh… idk if it was luck… 3 attacks to stop you from taking calcutta… I got less than average hits with USA in the first attack that is the most critical.

[Cow]

Roll away. I will lose tilt carrier fighters last.

@Cow:

on the whole it may not have been lucky - but when it takes three attacks to take down one zone there’s always a great chance of failure.  and you were down to your last shot at 30% - if that fails, you lose india for next to nothing in a crushing attack.  but that’s all in the past let’s see how z91 goes.

[Cow]

You will sink it. 95% odds or so. Question is what will you lose for it.

[boldfresh]

i just rolled it in local - missed every single dice on the round 1 roll and lost badly.  if it goes like that it’s game over immediately.  now as to your ool - best defense except save acc for last?

[boldfresh]

if you are down to an acc and 2 ftrs and i hit you once - do you tip the acc or lose a ftr?  i just am not sure what you want.  if you tip the acc while ftrs are still alive then they cannot land on the acc.
