13L G40 Infrastructure vs Gamerman01 (+10 Allies) + tech

So I have to kick myself again
I knew I needed a blocker in 33 but when it came time I must have forgot
And once again at least it took you 3 spaces away from the Phillipines and off a naval base, but that’s small consolation

Goll-ee!! Kicking myself again
Nice move

@Infrastructure:

please use

OK, I’m using this one, but it’s named UK7 for some reason… You’re sure it’s the right file then?

OK!

Need a break from A&A’g… maybe tonight

Back in the saddle….
Don’t go away - maybe we can keep the US/China/UK turns from taking too many days  :lol:

Well, no battling for the USA
Might need a decision for the UK, though, let’s see…

You will be pleased to know you got a radar hit (rolled a 2) in India, and that I only scored 2 hits on 15 firepower (I guess that’s almost average)

but otherwise I’m having good luck in what few rolls I’ve made….  especially with getting shipyards with USA…

I need you to choose casualties in India

I hear ya and I don’t disagree

Shipyards made up a lot for my 2 gaffes and the interesting thing is you didn’t mention your lack of tech

LRA for Japan, for example, would be a big problem

Game on, then!

@Gamerman01:

Oops - re-reading this, I see this was a poor sentence.  The 2 thoughts in the same sentence are unrelated - guess I was rambling again

Yep, and the India battle went swimmingly  :-)

Almost done with UK7

Oh, just realized Greece was bigger than I thought
Was thinking Italy would get TWO NO’s this turn, but no…

Really trying not to rebut your comments - you DID at least mention once that you’re playing a good player - but to say there has been “extreme” luck seems whacked out to me.  I’ve played well over 100 A&A games over the years, and there was little “extreme” luck in this game.  Maybe you’re just more dramatic and use absolute words like “extreme” more lightly than I do…

It’s just that if you constantly cite luck, it will often seem that you are dissing the other player.  That is, that you are only losing because of luck and it has nothing to do with your opponent’s skill, and that will often be taken by people as disrespectful.

Just trying to help

Heck of a war!  Of course it’s always more fun when you’re in the drivers seat and getting decent luck, but this has been a fun game, thanks in large part to your neutral attack

I hope you’re having at least half as much fun as I am.

Cheers
