Hope you have a good time! and sorry for the edits…

Thanks to you too!

A way to capitalize on what you were saying earlier… buy more infantry with the Axis, and Germany in particular. There are a lot of articles on this site that will help with the ratio.

Armor are sleek, fast, fun, and powerful… but eventually the math catches up with you if your opponent is buying two infantry for every armor you’re purchasing. Look at it this way… two infantry attacks at a 2, defends at a 4, and takes 2 hits to kill, and moves 1. An armor attacks on a 3, defends on a 3, takes one hit to kill, and moves 2.

I’ve bolded the most important part, from my perspective… it means everything.

I’m gonna call this one as a win, but more than happy to re-open it if / when you return!

The game is up Sir

If we’re good with your proposal and my tweak of the rule, let’s start two more games ~

To anyone who was playing me when I went missing - I’ll be back within a couple weeks.

Work got crazy - I had to sacrifice something for a time to stay sane. Work is easing up a little - I can see the sun - so I’ll be checking back in soon.

Thanks for your patience,

Stalingradski

I don’t mind waiting and counting my game vs him for next season. However, I am tempted to call the game in another week but leave the option of nullifying the win if/when he returns and we pick up the game again. If he doesn’t check in before than, that’s probably what I’ll do unless someone knows something about his work situation.

I just haven’t heard from him, I’ve shot him a PM with no response, and he hasn’t been on since the 1st. Didn’t know if anyone else was aware of what his work situation was like and whether he’d be returning soon or if he’d be busy for another month or so. I don’t mind waiting, it’s the unknown at this time as I thought it was a short term project.

I’ve won this game due to inactivity.

Oops… I was in the wrong place…  :-)

I’ll restart this in the league thread.

Stal,
do you exist anymore?

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my late reaction. Got your point and totally makes sense. However we all decide not to play the low luck variation of the game, so I would have tried this battle under the condition a top10 percent battle would bring you in the game again. In principle it is a question of degree to me. While 20plus percent would be worth a shot to me I would not do a 2 percent shot.
But I totally understand and respect your point of view.

Cheers tobias

That battle in E Poland was a 100% battle for me with 23 1/3 units left over - I ended with 26. It was actually pretty close to odds.

I had a German round in this game where I lost 5 extra aircraft… a Japanese round when I lost 5 extra aircraft… and my attack on Volgograd resulted in 10 extra units lost - all mech and artillery. Now that’s getting diced.

Do you use the built in battle calculator? I never leave home without it. It’s a nice tool to use. Control + B calls it up, you punch in the numbers, and see what’s supposed to happen if you roll the battle a couple thousand times. It’s really important to make attacks/create defensive positions based on math, in my opinion.
