[Cow]

Soo, how many times total has axis won? How many for the allies?

I just took a quick glance and saw 2:1

allweneedistank defeats the dominators.
thank you to shin ji and ohmss for a fun game.
pacific victory on japan’s 6 turn with no possibility of a counter attack.
allied bid was 1mech inf in egypt.

we look forward to our next game, is eskander still the official bracketeer?

[Cow]

Nice a pacific win!

[Cow]

I just took a look at your pacific win. Holy Cow. That is an intense axis victory.

This is why I try to always get axis in global.

[Cow]

I am kidding, but dang, you didn’t even give them a chance there love.

Your axis play was aggressive, I like it. Just blow out that axis win, the way it should be.

[Cow]

Allies don’t get much in terms of options lately in axis and allies. Still the most balanced version of global. I still want to see if a 6 bid is enough.

I still find it crazy people like A2 still, considering it is not that different and their bid system involved subtracting aa guns from the axis only. I’d take axis at like -30 and still stomp.

Woo this is crazy.

[Cow]

Allies got so much stuff for Alpha 3, but still a sad game. LOL. Hopefully when the reprint hits, russia will get a bomber.

[eskander]

Meh. Update.

And I may add a tally count to the bracket for how many times Cow has said on this forum in various places that Russia needs a bomber.

[wheatbeer]

While you’re at it, the number of times he’s emphasized J1 DOW and Pacific victory  :lol:

thanks, i like it too.

i think the axis have the advantage but it is a fairly balanced game. the bids will probably be less than revised which was perfectly even with a 9ipc bid to axis. the allied strategies are always more difficult and need more experience, the more everyone plays the bids will get lower.

if you think russia needs a bomber then bid for allies +12ipc.

@Eskander:

Meh. Update.

thanks for the update eskander.
i like how you added in game quotes under each game.

@Gargantua:

LOL ����…

In fairness love, it’s because you entered late - therby skipping a round.  If you want to keep helping push these games along - I’d be more than appreciative?  Or if you like.  Set some completion dates?  so if it’s close I can call it to decision.

yes garg i am a little eager. i will help to encourage the 1st round players to speed things up. i am not sure if going to a decision on these games as they still seem pretty even and would suck to lose on a decision when it is close.

Agreed. The allies are more challenging in this setup because they need more coordination between different players to be effective. This also makes it easier for experienced players to be really aggressive with the axis. I still think the game is balanced and think we will see a lot more allied wins in the later rounds of the tournament.

[Gargantua]

AGREED.

[Cow]

Russian bomber is equivilent to a 6 bid, because it is a unit that is not in a strategic spot, won’t see use till round 2 or 3 in most cases as well. True it is a strong unit, but a uk sub somewhere has more options an a bigger impact early game.

Allies strategies are not more difficult, they just require more coordination among team mates. Plus the allies don’t get much in terms of options.  It is hard to get people to play allies in this game, everyone wants to be axis. Russian bomber would just make russia feel less sad about itself.

[Gargantua]

We’ve had a few deaths in the tournament,  :evil: some of these teams had decent players too… who may or may not be “salvagable” for other teams.

Our game will never die!  :evil:

Garg, are you indicating with “LS19=Team Dissolved” that the “SpeedoHares” and “The Litttle Threats” have both dissolved?

There’s still no word from Bunnies, and Little_Boot and I are having a heck of a time getting our game kicked off, but I’m still in.

Vold

[Gargantua]

Not at all.

Whoever wins your match-up, faces the loser of game #19… that team (LS19=) was the megalomaniacs, and unfortunately they have dissolved.

SO whoever wins your game, will get a bye. ;)
