How would that even look like? Dividing players into good and bad and then what? Sounds like a good way to alienate the players.

No - nothing formal. Just common sense. If the good players did ever gang up for game after game then it would just become boring for everyone.

While I empathize with the sentiment, i don’t think this is a realistically consistent possibility in a series of random roll-choice matches. But I acknowledge that some players(like myself) will value the propensity of good communication and rapport and (if given the opportunity) will choose allies that make a more engaged “team game” environment.
I consider myself a team game veteran while almost never playing 1v1 matches. I love the camaraderie in a match in which teammates point out my flaws and we can all point out new tactics that could be deployed.
This map is interesting, though, and I do take my perceived faction imbalance into account for nation selection.

not insane dice at paris but definitely favorable and im thankful for it

New year, same Witt!

@colt45554 Greece was a bloodbath! Unlucky.

Classic WWII italians

That’s what they get for kicking my messenger down a big hole

angry Turkish noises

France serbia

@captainwalker good to know. It was a 98 percent attack with 3 units that I was gonna do anyway and thankfully fig missed die and wasn’t needed

@karl7 and here I was, thinking I had Witt paralyzed with fear

@karl7 if you guys weren’t winning so handily on the other half of the map, maybe i would consider!

Russia is falling! Help! LOL

They already smashed their heads into my mechs to make Kuby bloodier for me. What more do you want? Their service is complete; your cries fall on deaf ears

this seems like something sneaky commissars would say when they want to hide something… We need to detain them in camps and check their teeth just to be sure we got it all.

If i didn’t mess up in the sixth round with Witt’s UK hiatus, the CPs might have been toast. With my screw-up, the CP have been able to achieve the slow bleed necessary to win, despite their lamentations about dice all game long

Karl’s Communist calls for co-defense have been answered. Filthy Allied hordes swarm from everywhere

@karl7 you will all awake to find the enemy at the gates all gone.

astute. stop thwarting my plans!

I think we usually have the LHTR setting active so I would say you should be able to

@witt it’s a good match! Both big team games have been

@witt I only notice when I’m unlucky. Otherwise, I have the blinders on
