Best Luck Ever

Postby wrightfan123 on Sun Apr 22, 2007 6:35 pm

Have you ever had a time when you win a roll or game against unbelivable odds? Well post them here.

One time in an assassin game, the other guy was about to eliminate his target. He had a 7 and I had a 5. I attacked him thinking I could weaken him enough so he couldn't take out his target. I ended up winning. :D

I was down to my last territory in a game. The attacker had 14 armies, I had 6. After the attack, I had 4 and he was down to 1.

Then the next person promptly eliminated me.

I went from having one army on one territory to winning the game 2 rounds later. that was fun, of course it was escalating.

I consider anytime I can roll 3v2 it isn't a bad idea.

Maybe that's why my rank isn't going any higher. :lol:

I've had a 4vs13 once, but I can't prove it. It was a space game, but I don't remember which one.

one time in a Real time game, Trestasin was wiping the board with all of us, my only chance was to attempt a major upset to get his cards

i had 43 to take 56 or so and one with a final one on one, i went on to win the game.

3 vs 6 to eliminate someone, i took all 6 lost none, got his cards and a mixed set (was flat rate) took out 16 with 13 to eliminate another, then another mixed set, had 13 to take out the last player with 5 armies, lost all 12 to one of his......

Winning 43 vs. 56 is actually not that unlikely. The attacker has some advantage over the defender and with increasing number of armies, the odds grow stronger that the attacker wins (even when he has a little less number of armies than the opponent).

Assuming just one country is involved, it is 26% chance of success. The odds decrease significantly if those armies are spread out over several countries (as I assume they were). For instance, if they were 2 countries with 22 on each and 12 with one army, the odds go down to 5%.

All right, I didn't notice that this wasn't a 1 vs. 1 fight.

I've found auto-attack works both ways - sometimes you lose everything but sometimes you win everything. Try it when you're about to lose and you never know... :D

i once won a game cos i was down to my final territory and i had 1 on it. the other guy had 6 or 7 i think and failed to kill me. i then cashed really high and pretty much wiped him and won next turn. that was really hard luck on him cos overall he came out down about 19 armies

Some guy had 43v30 attacking me, soon it was 1v6. Another time I had 13 guys and didn't lose one for about 10 rolls.

Lol, i was watching my brother play, and he killed a 21 with a 26 and still had 15 left. This was in indochina against someone who was about to win. Actually, he had me click because I'm luckier. :P Then he killed like 8 more territories and only lost like 1 or 2.
