Do you play the underdog side? Yes, no or maybe? Why is that?

peterx Supporting Member of TMP25 Sep 2016 7:02 p.m. PST

a) I always play the underdog, if I can.
b) I often play the underdog side.
c) I sometimes play the underdog side.
d) I usually do not play the underdog side.
e) This is a silly poll question. I refuse to participate any more is this silliness.

I'm usually attracted to the side that lost or that won but at a great cost.

I suppose on a subconscious level, it helps give a built-in excuse if I lose :-)

I often choose the underdog too, Weasel, for the same reason.

b – In a game with an actual underdog, that side that the most interesting tactical challenges.

I usually pick the underdog, unless it is an army I don't like playing for some reason.

What underdog armies do you often play?

About half the time. We do the FPW and we take turns playing the French who are the ultimate underdogs.

I'm trying to think of my current projects, I don't think I have any underdogs?
My current napoleonic project is set when all sided where about equal.

Great northern war, sure Sweden was out maned, but they usually had a giant leg up in quality.

WSS, pretty even

SYW, pretty even

Pyrrhic wars and 2nd punic, also even
And so was the Italian wars (part of it)
