-
Well you got what you wanted.
That CURSED russian bomber has finally died.

ALSO…
I would PM you, but again I have reached my PM limit for the next hour.
Dearest Canuck12,
YOU HAVE JUST BEEN OFFICIALLY DRAFTED FOR
GARGANTUA’S $200 TOURNAMENT OF EXTRA DEATH AND PAIN.IT’S WAR! And from hence forth, you are now to call yourself a soldier of AA.org.
Your orders are to report to this (link below) section of the forums IMMEDIATELY, and follow said instructions.
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27103.0
FAILURE to do so, will result in diminished social status on the site. You will be considered ‘un-cool’. The time has come, you must fall in line!
NO EXCUSES will be accepted, whether you play the game or not, or whether you have the programs installed or not is irrelevant, you WILL succeed in your total conversion into an AA.org Championship contender.
MOVE OUT SOLDIER! MOVE! MOVE!
General Garg salute’s you!

Cursed is right! That bomber was the chink in the Russian armour from round 1!
I have a feeling you were wishing it was gone a long time ago too. Maybe replaced with 4 more Russian infantry or so? :D -

The only one I couldn´t afford to get diced on, I get diced on…
Russia is turning out to be quite the cockroach…
But the Axis powers will prevail, despite this little “incursion” into eastern europe and the Renewed imperative in the far east. Our generals were prepared for this, as well as any other dirtly little tricks that the Americans might be up to…

as well as any other dirtly little tricks that the Americans might be up to…
What are you implying?
And don’t bitch to me about dice in this game. Everyturn there is a battle where I get diced, Last round, it was in Novisibirsk where your 1 infantry held off 7 of mine for 2 rounds scoring 2 hits. Typical. :P
If that was the only battle that diced you all game, take your -7 and go home, I’m owed about -150.
Infact… I’m working with Veqryn on something you will like - that will FOREVER take out the “I got diced” equation.
Basically, a sum of all your rolls, divided by six. against the sum of your attack and defensive rolling power.
Thereby meaning if you scored 100%, that is perfect par… if you are 150% that is really good, if you are 50% that is really bad.
A report is filed for the entire GAME TURN of your nation - and your alignment (Both attack and defense) and overall rolling for the game (minus SBR’s/Tech) and printed.
So in this game for example, we wouldn’t argue, we would just see, wow that turn I scored 76% die par. Or holy shit, look you’ve got a 200% handicap wtf ftw. Atleast you could say if you got diced or not.
Agreeably, there are battles that are more important than others, but you shouldn’t be able to complain about that, if you are scoring 90 to 110%. And that arguement is totally deflated. YOu take away peoples ability to bitch about dice completely, and can than acknowledge (If I score atleast 80% handicap - I will win this game).
Cool no? :P
-
I misclicked and just messed up.
I sent 6 fighters into western russia instead of 4.
I will re-roll their dice and edit appropriately. I’m hoping you’ll allow this grievance, 2 fighters were to be reserved for my acc build…
