16L G40 Balanced mod ABH (Axis) vs Axis-Dominion (Allies)

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Yeah, makes up for the crazy bad Japanese luck to start with.  I think there is also a general perception bias in Axis and Allies that it seems that the opponent always has better dice rolls.  I swear that I have been below average during my times playing, but know that by now the law of averages must have made things relatively balanced.

I still don’t see how the Axis will win, but I haven’t played enough Balanced games.  It just seems like the Allied income is still so high.

@axis-dominion:

i don’t know what to make of your luck……it’s absolutely crazy how ur hitting everything and i’m mostly missing everything. is this for real happening to me all in one game?

well u are a huge risk taker, i’ve noticed that every time we play. japan’s early misfortunes had much to do with your taking unnecessary risks. this time, however, your risks are really paying off, which isn’t normal but i guess every now and then they will come thru.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

I tend to take large risks when playing against better opponents.  :-P

i want this game over with so badly…had enough of this crappy luck. gonna do a lot of drastic moves here soon

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Egypt is down on G9… not sure if that is enough to end the game.

[axis-dominion]

ok gg, i’ve had enough.

i have to put u and cyanight on my do-not-play list cuz u guys take big risks on me with superior luck. can’t stand that kind of game.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

gg.  I thought that you could have easily had it if you made a more aggressive push of Russia towards Scandanavia when I headed down to the Middle East.  Once those territories are under Russian control, the Axis is doomed.
