15L Adam514 (Axis) vs Rasmustb (Allies+22)

@Rasmustb:

@Adam514:

Haha yeah I would prefer LL if it didn’t make the Axis advantage even bigger…

How so?

It’s not common knowledge? By my estimates you need to almost double the bid in LL compared to dice to get a decent game… I haven’t had much difficulty winning as Axis against Allies with up to 32 bid.

Oh… Well I didn’t know. Can u say more about why this is so? I mean LL is LL for both sides… Maybe because they have so much aircraft? Or Germany can make better openings?

[Adam514]

Dice in initial rounds matter the most and the attacker is better off in LL than dice, so apart from UK1 and China it’s mostly the Axis that are attacking and so they make the greatest use of LL. Also, since luck is a lot less volatile, it favors the Axis since they have 2 big nations compared to the many small and scattered Allied ones, and so they can choose exactly how much air they are willing to lose and it makes it very hard for the Allies to trade and weaken the Axis.

ahhh crap I forgot to fly the fighter by Sikang so I would have the obvious retreat option :(

Will you allow an edit here? It was indeed my plan/hope to retreat to Sikang if the battle went well but Ill accept your decision

[Adam514]

I wouldn’t mind if you had a tank in Shensi and wanted to move to Sikang and then to Szechwan, but you can only retreat from territories from which came land units. You can’t move a fighter into a neighbouring territory and then to battle to have the choice to retreat.

So you won’t let me brake the rules?? How rude… Sry 'bout this one Adam. I even checked up on the rules before I made my decision but somehow missed that it says “land” & “sea” units.

However, it feels like a good lucky battle like this one is the best I could hope for for the chinese forces. I have to go out now but the rest of my turn is coming in a few hours

cheers

[Adam514]

Lol sorry! If you want we can pretend as if that Chinese battle never happened and you get to redo China since you got a very good outcome in the battle, but you are probably better off like this even if you can’t retreat to Sikang. Up to you.

Thanks but I’ll stick this outcome. I wanted to pick a good fight and Im not sure I would get a better chance than this

Hi Adam

It became a very messy british turn with a lot of edits - sorry about that!

First I accidentally took an empty trn instead of an AC from 110 to 112 which would make a scramble very risky (ac, cc, bb vs. 2 fig). So with this in mind I assumed no scram and later I edited an extra inf, art from uk to norway.

So belgium: taken with inf from us trannie
Normandy: 2inf from uk tranny
Denmark: inf from tranny
NCM: 3inf, 3art uk-norway

On top of that I forgot to take Vyborg and to move the british troops from norway to fin :( - more edits…

Let me know if you are not okay with theses edits and/or if you have any questions. I’ll try to be more careful in the future!

Right now there’s art, 2aagun on us trannies in 110 and 2uk fig on us ac in 112
