LL doesn’t change anything other than lowering the luck factor.  unless you hope to win against 80-90% huge battle for the attacker, LL wouldn’t save you. like if you want to make a stand at bryansk, it’s still a 95% battle for me. only reason why I want LL is because I am 100% convinced marti’s dice engine is flawed. I lose way too many 95-98% battles than odds suggest. I not only lose high odds battle, but lose them in spectacular fashion.

it’s hard to defend russia, but it can be done. I get stuck with allies 80% of the time but still win most of my games with the allies. I didn’t before, but now I think allies +20 should be the standard and allies should not accept less against a good player. if you see germany going all out against russia, you also have to go all out to defend it. that’s the only shot. that means you make sacrifices elsewhere.
