2014 League Playoff - Ghostglider (4) vs. Boldfresh (5)

[boldfresh]

What restraint…. was sure you would go for rome!

[Ghostglider]

with +500 unit value, there is no reason for any battles with less than 75% success  :-D

@Ghostglider:

That’s about what it was…

[boldfresh]

you had an extra bomber from the 97 battle and i thought you would take the shot since you are killing expensive units even if you fail.  win and it’s game over (even faster).  anyway, we play on.

[boldfresh]

don’t blame you for playing it safe.  clearly my whole game was premised on getting egypt cheap and when i lost the fleet for nothing it sort of wrecked those plans.  :lol:

three airbases in the zone no less.  it’s hilarious when you think it through.  the lesson?  don’t try to play quickly when you are more busy than at any other time in your life…  :wink:

[Ghostglider]

Actually I had expected that you would gamble in Sydney and try to take Sydney while at the same time forcing Germany/Italy to rush for India.

[boldfresh]

ha - sydney was less than 1% in the end wasn’t it?

[boldfresh]

granted my overall chance of winning may have been less than that.
