That makes sense.
I just think this way because the first two times I played this game I found the Axis at a huge disadvantage with almost no plausible way to win.
Your play is making me rethink that.
Classic 2nd edition, Avin (Allies) vs AcesWild (Axis), no bid

Sure! I’ll start the new game now. Would you like to play with LowLuck dice this time or continue with normal dice, just with Russia Restricted then?

ill pass on the low luck for the moment but thank you for making me aware of it

@AcesWild5049 Sure no problem. Some people really dislike the idea because they feel like Axis and Allies is made for random lucky swings and it removes part of the game without it. I disagree, particularly because of the interesting effect that when you do use LowLuck, you can engage in what would otherwise be riskier battles, but the potential swings within those are still present and do make more of a difference because of the ability to calculate things more certainly.
I’ve also heard the dismissal “If I wanted to decrease luck I would play chess!” That’s a silly argument because I happen to very much enjoy chess too!
But I’m happy to play either, regardless.
-
If the Eastern med sub has the option to retreat again, please do so as before. But I’m sure you won’t give me the opportunity this time!

im going to try something I’ve been working on

it might be a flop, but there it is.

Interested! I’m pretty excited to see something very different however it goes now.

Actually knowing that you weren’t going to attack Egypt I would have preferred to retreat my sub to the Red sea instead. Main reason I wouldn’t normally is I can’t get back with Egypt lost, but the Red sea gives strictly superior flexibility if I knew I was holding Egypt. Would you mind if I made that edit?
