My sub in sz25 had an amazing moment once. That’s it. 😉
Actually, I think the small ones are more sure. Atleast when you have +90 %. And I lost plenty of those.
With lots of dice almost anything can happen. Something which saved Germany’s ass atleast twice.

U can point that way, but its not the same to have 90% battle when u have units attackin on 4, and when u have those attacking at 2.
But nominally its 90%, but its unpredictable. -

But maybe i also lost some small battles. Not as, u but did. I didnt look and count

Don’t remember any ac. And the mistaken roll was a sorry situation.
Well, all in all a very well played game on your part. Would love to try it again. I’m not so sure of the validity of the all-out Chinese support, but perhaps I just lack rational insight.
-
I think U played pretty well but that I played better enough to win the game. The dice overall helped, or not distrupt my effort i can say, but i think that my win is deserved, and if U pulled 8 vc in europe or 6 in the pacific it would be deserved too, since thats the catch in this game, the axis can win even if they are weaker, or almost down at one side of the board

You definitely lost some small battles. Especially with Russia. It happened with the Chinese. Stilm the ratio was about 9:1.

I wrote to u that i wanted to buy it and then redo the buy and forgot it
-
Oh, I didn’t see that. Sorry. Would’ve contemplated it atleast.
-
When was it? Before I hit sz112 the forst time and failed?

Well, i do not know too, but it worked in this game and i did not know U are an Elite player, with 5-1 win loss rating, so it was tested on a very strong opponent. But the thing is there was an element of surprise on my part which i would not have on any future battle with me as the allies against u

Just before that battle where i scored 5/5 and we nullified it.

I said i wont changes so dont worry. My bad. I have to play more patiently.
-
Me too.
It definitely worked! I underestimated the power of that opening and didn’t respond accordingly. Played in a standard way, trying to control all of China, which dispersed power too much.
-
Think I’m tier 1 now and with a 5/5 win ratio.

And the Korea move confused U.
I personally think I am not a bad player, but that U are better, but in this game I think the element of surprise whas much more on my part.
In some parts of the game i felt like chess player playing against a powerful PC. Xd

U play so many games at the same time so maybe that affects the results. I am, sure U ll be a, high 1, or come back to E again
-
And I think that my constant attacks against U when i had 30, 40 or 50 % odds confused U too. I ve combined attacks with allies, made some sacrificies, but disrupted Ur plans.
And economy was working for me so I could afford it
-
The thing that confused me is your mechanized german stack. Ok U ve threatened India, Egypt, Russia, even China, U took some middle east money. But why havent U attacked Russia? Or India? Or Egypt? Especially Russia, U could taken IMHO
-
Thanks for reassuring. At the moment I feel like a degenerate clown. Mainly for atleast three other games that I’ve lost or will lose, where I’ve made really silly, stupid blunders.
Yes, I also play too impatiently. I also play so many games at the same time since it’s nerve cracking to wait for moves. It’s a bad strategy. It does confuse things at times. I make a move and somehow mix things up with other games.
There’s also a strain on a personal level, but I won’t go into that here.
I also feel your win was well-deserved. I would’ve continued if I had taken Hawaii and then been able to secure it. I would just skip over China and leave it almost forever. That’s actually interesting that China can very well have over 500 units and it doesn’t matter so much. A bit of income loss for Japan and two VCs, but not crucial.

Yes, I should’ve pressed harder on Russia.
