A&A World Cup 2012 Discussion

Ugh, why play anything other than Alpha 3 final? It is what will be put into print on the reprint of global. I am hoping LarryHarris adds a bomber to russia. Allies really get the short end of the stick in my opinion, at least a russian bomber, feels cool.

[Cow]

Alpha 2 and OOB really favored the axis heavily. Alpha 1 had some short comings. Alpha 3 is not that different from alpha 2 except naval setup is a bit different and the aa guns nerfed the sea lion threat, sea lion still happens frequently, but the casualties are heavier so the allies can recover from it.

[Cow]

I don’t have battlemaps for revised and I can post much quicker using triple a, since I don’t have to read text on one half of my screen and look at the map with the other.

Easier on the eyes too. If the default is battlemaps so be it, I tend to rush hard anyway for revised, I rarely see round 7 without russia or berlin conquered in revised. Either way it is going to be a fast game.

I do trust triple a more, since forums can be edited, so there is no doubt when I get diced hard, like egypt drops without getting a single hit back that it just was not my day.

How do we determine sides for revised? Usually it is bid for axis, 1 unit per territory, place where you got stuff. I don’t know how yall do it around here. Or if you just set it at 9 and roll for sides. Don’t bother me none.

[Cow]

Well commonwealth, I am up against func, wish me luck.

Matchups

EU vs. Commonwealth

US1 vs. US2

---

Some of you have started and that is fine.  We will be auction bidding for sides.  The same way we do tourneys or league games.

If you have started here are the side that can bid first:

Eu = 1 Com = 2
US 1 = 1 US 2 = 2

Rolling 1d2:
(2)

[DarthMaximus]

Commonwealth and US 2 can started the bidding if you guys want to get underway.  Just PM your opponent.

Its best two out of three.  So if one side wins its Revised and 50 game the G40 result doesn’t matter or if G40 and 50 finish first, etc.  So it doesn’t matter which two games finish first if the same side wins.

I’ll have limited access for the next week.  So the official start will be next week, but I have no problem with people getting started now.

Good luck to everyone!

last question, revised is the one where the transports roll at 1 and can be casualties right? The 2004 box, I believe.

Yes, that’s right.

[DarthMaximus]

Gamerman is right.
Trns can fire and be taken as casualties.

Its been a while since I’ve played Revised as well.  I can’t remember, I think some of the pricing is different on units too.  Gonna have to try and remember all the changes.  :-)

Axisplaya conceded after a bad g1 in global.

Dang commonwealth not looking good already. I am in a close game for revised, I think I am losing but I am not sure yet.

[Cow]

kind of odd to concede after g1, unless france 1% defended and lived. Could always go for a pacific win otherwise, the pacific win is usually under 10 rounds, won or lost round 7-8 if you are rushing because europe is not good. I do have an opener posted on the global forum to follow through with. It just depends on the casualties when you take india round 4-5 if you rushing, then you can go for  hawaii or new south wales shortly after.

Nice thing about global is axis can win it on either half, so you can get screwed on one half and end up winning. aa50 and revised, getting screwed sets you back big time.

Well, then. If you finish up your game quickly, I might not have to play. Yoshi can’t get to our game until next week.

Kinda wondering why this tourney isn’t round robin since there are so few teams.

[Cow]

I went for the 58% berlin take down. I got smoked. Game is now slightly favoring axis… SIGh.

I shoulda waited a turn to maybe get better odds, but russia had 9 guys ready to do it. I just needed to not get crushed lol.

[Cow]

one thing I like about revised, uk swings then usa then russia… UK gets super screwed… oh well everyone got to wait. lol.

[Cow]

loool, I made a huge huge mistake, didn’t realize he could get so many guys on west canada. Been years since I played revised, I even forgot that was the one sea zone changed when they redid the map. lool. What I get for letting my revised box collect cob webs. lol.

I think I just lost my revised game so I am going to do a suicide run and then call it lol.

[Cow]

yeps I lost. gg too funny. good luck functionetta. You got your ultra fast game :)

[Cow]

Functionetta moves on.

[Funcioneta]

Oops, you already posted!  :lol: Good game as well, and yes, ultra fast game! You were a tought opponent  :-)

[Cow]

I don’t know about being a tough opponent lol. All I did was throw everything I could at germany and hope for the best… then when I got 58% I went all in and I got screwed! lol.

I was a gambling opponent. :)

[Cow]

USA’s west canada stack mistake, just meant that I couldn’t wait for a second crack at berlin… had to just all in for a 1% shot. :) Kind of good, I would have lost either way, most likely.
