1 - He did win a AA50 game. He also lost a revised game to us. Funny you didnt mention that one.
2 - The game he won, he won. But he happened to have good dice and at several key times during the game, I had critically bad dice. [Such as a key fleet battle where I had a 78% win and got 1 hit both rounds. Same bad dice occurred in the last round attacks, where I had 1 hit defending France.]
3 - I have gone solo and won undefeated, specifically at the WBC, and also won second in the original mega revised at Gencon.
4 - I specifically mentioned the MASTERS seeding, which you were suggesting this sub group would be playing for. Putting only Michigan players in a masters seeding bracket was a bad idea.
5 - As for c-subbers, twice a c-sub won the mega and made the masters in my bracket. Each time they were eliminated. By me.
So dont talk smack unless you happen to know what actually happened.
I knew I'd rattle your nerves with the last post.
1. Revised- who cares about that anymore??? Its AA50 and AA42 now.
2. Sounds like excuses- bad dice- whaaahh
3. WBC- inferior to both Origins and GenCon- heard the competition was weak there.
4. Only an idea, but I agree, probably a bad one at that.
5. Doesn't make Michigan players bad- my point- actually, we are right up there with some of the best.
Why don't you quit playing chicken and play me some games by forum on axisandallies.org I'd like to spar a few games with you. Afraid???

Guys,
Play nice now...I know that you both have very strong points to be made but no reason to get a bit tense about it...we have to keep in perspective, it is only a game...

Just because more people play online doesn't mean that the people wouldn't want to play more ftf, they just don't have the opportunity to.
As for the quality of play at WBC, I would stack up the best of my group against any group and feel quite confident in their ability to compete.
Again, it would behoove people to attend before making any judgements as to the quality of the talent pool.
As for regional leagues, it would be nice to have but I wouldn't give them automatic entries into any tournament. You might use the results of such a league to help in seeding a tournament, but even that would be a bit of a reach since it would be hard to judge the relative quality of the different leagues.
When it comes to Eric's accomplishments, dice are a part of the game. Actually, he did as well as he did because he wasn't carrying my sorry ass.
