14L Whackamatt (Axis) vs Entek (Allies +10)

@Whackamatt:

Some of your attacks have been…premature? � Do you ever use the battle calculator, which would tell you your odds of winning? It’s a button on the “Territory” tab. A lot of your attacks have been low odds (20-30%) of winning, while others you position yourself up for a devestating counter-attack.

Like when you first moved in and took Korea in Round 3. � You had to have seen all of Japan’s units which could and did destroyer your land forces in Korea. � Sometimes it’s better as the Allies to build up forces before doing such moves. � Same with your landing in Normandy on Round 3. � It felt too early, which allowed me to push you right back off AND sink your fleet. � Those combined kind of gave away initiative over to me.

I try not to do such moves until I know I can survive any and all counter attacks. � The only exception is a desperation move where they will win if I don’t take a VC NOW! �

I do use the odds calculator.

I know I get impatient and think to myself if I don’t attack now I’m just letting him build up.  I have been trying to get better about that.  I really lost hart this game when my Med UK stuff went badly.  I should have reacted differently to it, but I was thrown off by it which let you capture Egypt early.

I like how you build that IC in Romania early on.  I think it really helps put the pressure on Russia.
