So , did you ever win a game that you felt bad about afterwards?

If people were actually losing something tangible and important I would feel bad, but it is only a game. All of our "permanent" game results are only here as long as the owners desire them to be. When you lose a game it stings, but nothing is really lost save a little ego, and perhaps the realization that life isn't always fair, which is good for all of us.

I try to take personal responsibility for all of my losses - no matter what. Looking back I find they were all a result of my own lack of preparation. Either I didn't know the rules well enough, the units well enough, the tactical situation well enough, the scenario well enough, or the player well enough. If someone is lazy about understanding these things and thus less prepared than I am, then they deserve to lose.
(that's Eastern Front thinking - lol)

I agree completely with that. We all like to say "luck is a lady, and that lady can be a byotch... but at the end of the day, luck only plays a small part of a match (although, like all random probability, you somedays will have to put up with a great deal of bad things happening to you on low probability risks... but that should build character).

This is especially so in QB's... you will some times need to take risks, and sometimes they will pay off, sometimes, they won't.

For example, I once played an opponent in a soviet defend, axis attack in 1941 and bought a whole boatload of Italian light tanks because I wanted to see how well they could advance in a swarm and overrun the Soviet defenders who I thought would be mostly infantry and SMG. I completely dominated the game and won. I'm sure the opponent thought my kit picks were tricksy, but I saw a tactical advantage, took it and used it to win. Not my fault my opponent only bought a few light guns.

Cheers!
