We're now at round 25 and I shored up the victory at around round 13. I'm Axis and control the world except the Americas, UK and the money islands. Attack power is 655 vs 321 - close to half of allies attack power is in ships. For the last 10 or so rounds he waits close to the full 24hrs before making his move. For the last 7 or 8 all he has done is to buy ships or every other round with UK nothing so he can buy one big ship the next turn, and he makes no move to go onto land and grab income. Income btw is...

I was just thinking I hadn't lost a battle with over a 95% chance of victory in over a week, when I get two in as many days: 1. England 1: Submarine and Cruiser vs. Submarine. 97.8% chance of victory. Results: Lose everything, no hits, ,and in only 3 rounds of combat, that's how long it took the defending sub to get 2 hits. 2. 6I, 2A, 2F vs. 5 Tanks. 98.6% chance of victory. Result. Lose everything, kill two tanks. There was another one I don't have the figures for when a sure-fire battle was los...

I've just had 3 straight battles with 90%+ odds when attacking VC's where I lost all 3, costing me games. Maybe I'm just the 1 out of 1000 player this happens to, maybe not. But, combined with all of the other 1 out of 100 anomalies that consistently go the defenders way recently, the only way to end this "unlucky" streak is to stop playing. I'll just wait for another publisher to make this game where they put out a clear unequivocal statement that the dice are completely random, and the seed does not cha...

There is a plus 20 IPC difference for the allies in the Larry Harris setup vs the standard game setup. Even with that, the A&A community deems the Axis to still have an advantage by the fact that in setups involving bidding the Axis has to pay IPCs to the opponents to play the allies in almost every game. Currently, there are 9 custom games, all of which the creator of the game is on the Axis side, and all are the standard setup. Nobody wants to play in a game where the fix isn't in from the start?...

After last seasons unbelievably unlucky start (19ish consecutive failures to capture UKR and/or WR during R1) I spent the rest of the seasons working on a strategy that removes almost all of the "luck factor" from round 1. I believe this strategy will catch on over time, and 12/9 will start falling out of favor. We'll see in a couple of seasons ......
