Why is it that I can play numerous opponents out there and never win a game (VikingNo2, I feel my luck might change this time), yet still enjoy the experience and ask to keep playing time and time again?

I might have enough points for some AAA and the platoon or two of AT guns, and a platoon of infiltrators if available. Am I wrong for not trying to find the little quirks of what are the best killers for my nationality, like hords of bazooka's, or mobile move and fire heavy AA, or nothing but machine guns and the heaviest AT, and use them to my best advantage?

Maybe my opponents did not do anything like this, and I am just the unluckiest, and worst player of this game, and coincidences have worked together with the aligments of the planets to work out against me. But I have enjoyed many a defeat that has not left me disgruntled. Thanks for the vent, and pass the cheese and crackers to go with my...
