Reviewing NCM after the dice disaster
-
Would you accept a LL reroll exchange?
-
Hey Sir,
I am of course super happy to see these great dice for me at Finland and I can absolutely understand the frustration (boy, I get on tilt already for way less of bad luck)Regarding low luck rerolls I have a track record in the league that I never played with them and I never accepted them even if got them offered voluntarily by my opponent after I experienced dice disasters. (Just just refused one in the semi final after my failed 96 attack.
I believe LL rerolls influence the dynamics of the game in a negative way.
Thus, I hope you understand that I would like to continue without any kind of rerolls.
Best,
Tobias -
@JapanDOWRound1Fan Ok, understand. I may resign then. Dice also play, no problem.
Thx
-
To be clear: You will review NCM and drop me a note when I can continue, right?
-
@JapanDOWRound1Fan
2 options: I resign or review NCM. Will let you know asap. -
Alright!
-
@JapanDOWRound1Fan
Hi Sir!I don’t see many options after this disaster, 7 units vs 3 with this outcome is ridiculous, and it was relevant for my Europe strategy. I will continue given it is a final because miracles occur sometimes.
No NCM changes. I will be on holidays next week so take your time for the Russian turn as I will not correspond until the following week.
Once I resign in a few turns and you become the title holder, I would like continuing for fun from this G4 point with an average outcome edit of this combat, I think it would provide an interesting game from this point for some more rounds and would like to play it also if you don’t mind. Will also reinforce your win morally, which keeps as the most probable outcome even in that scenario.
Please carry on when you wish and sorry for the delay, crazy work week prior to holidays.
Thx
Cheers
Juan

Regarding the alternative game continuing with LL dice in Finland, I would like to be frank, I do not say no, but also not yes at the moment. My biggest worry is that it would be hard for me to play my A game in such an alternative universe game so I am not sure whether this would provide the required gain of knowledge.
But as said, depends a bit on the timing and my schedule, so this is definitely not a “no” to your suggestion.
Best,
Tobias -
It is very easy to look at everything from the side…Looks like it was somewhat optimistic for the axis to place in 112 at G1? With a destroyer buy and placing in 113 at G1 it would have looked differently now
Finland dice is not good but not outragous too. You have to be prepared for 3 defending hits in round 1 (about 15% chance) and you are by no means guaranteed 3 hits in round 1 (17 total power). There are few units and hence round one is so decisive
-
@oysteilo If you wish to be fair, please speak about the % of the dice of the combat. 15% is just the % of the defense of round 1. I was taking 3 cheap units there, so risk was well under control I think. To be fair you could mention that average in the complete combat was 2 hits for defenders, thus TUV + 17, control the territory, scort the fleet, good odds vs any fleet aproaching Norway or vs the land Norway + Finland with the italian can opener, which means if russia moves more planes to finland to help retaking it, very likely they loose them. The output of this combat: 5 defense hits overall is far below 1% ??, just mentioning the 15% is unfair. 5 Hits were 150% over the expected on average, by far more than double!!
Destroyer 113 is probably a better purchase in this G1 strat, it is one of the 4 basic alternatives that I evaluated. Allthough it can be done, it is more difficult to push russians to Moscow in G3 with 2 less mechs + 112 UK1 meant a 50% chance of eliminating 40 IPC in 112 + transport in G2, loosing just a german sub, and a cruiser that I don’t use a lot in my strat, so not definitive in my view. I evaluated and opted for G1 112 position + all land for those 2 reasons and a couple more that I will not disclose.
It is a pitty that a final is decided by dice, but they also play and like any other player, I won many games with dice help in the past (not a 1% combat that I remember now in a relevant match, but some 30%, like the very definitive Calcutta vs the great Adam in BM) + Jdow is a superb player that also prepares a lot studying the others strats so a title for him would never be unfair + I had my padawan winning recently the 2016 title so very satisfied whatever happens in the 2017 title. I accepted that I had lost, 5 minutes after the combat and it is not a problem, but part of the game. If Tobias does not wish to prove he has the best strategy, for fun after the game and for his greater glory, of course it is not something I can ask for, we are just following strictly the rules. I would never refuse…, but having said that, I do respect 100% all other behaviours, of course.
