Summer/Fall Spring 42.2E Tournament Discussion/Results Thread

I am ready for my next game, please…
-
I am ready for round 2 calvin. If you want to get crushed
-
wittman has beaten Private Panic. :-o
I believe he plays calvinhobbesliker next. May the best man win. He certainly did in the first round!
-
You are a gentleman, Private.
My victory was helped by a risky India attack, which succeeded. PP tried a US Bombing tactic against Germamy, which may have worked if not for the loss of both Bonbers on his first Bombing run.
I, most certainly, had the better luck throughout. -
axis 3-1
-
I’m still just waiting to start a game.
Maybe we could sub in the alternates? Get some wild cards going for these tournament brackets? hehe

I sent magic a PM
–-------------------
First post updated with results.
4 games done. and as Cow has pointed out, Axis starting very strong.Hopefully the last two rd 1 games can get started with rmorel back. P@nther is out until 9/8 I think, so we still have time for rd 1.
-
Another allies down soon :lol:
If anyone would like to play a sub game while waiting feel free to ping me…
-
i would like to try a game for whatever… i like the bomber for Russia. I would like to learn…
-
Sure - set up a game when you are ready and I can start :lol:
-
Darn it, life happened. Going camping this weekend and will be back late Sunday. I like the Allies and it seems that there should be a way for the triple income to overcome the map advantage. However, it does seem that the Axis can play some risky moves early and not really be punished if they go wrong.
I don’t really know how to play either side. No game that I’ve ever played has gone past 3 rounds.
-
That’s fine. Feel free to start a game when you like to play.
I am stubborn :lol: IMHO playing Allies is not as bad as some other thought. They just need some patience to start with and a Russia bomber does help a lot.
-
Geograph wins over innohub!
I had some luck to hold Caucasus and take India in Round 5!
Anyway, I’m ready for round two :-D
-
Yes all these axis players talking about the luck they had…

I would like to propose that the use of the battle calculator is not allowed in tournaments. If I were to play a game of chess against another person, it would not be fair for me to simply enter the game into a computer and ask for the best move. After all, isn’t this supposed to be person vs person, not person vs person + computer?
What does everyone else think?

The battle calculator does not tell you the best move. It just tells your your chances of winning battles. It’s up to you to decide which battles are worth winning or even worth losing. That’s a main skill of the game.
-
I have never used it, Craykirk. I prefer using my head.
-
Nothing wrong with battle calculator. There are ways to estimate probabilities for live games. Like 10 attacking inf matches 7 defending because of the cannon fodder factor. You can get pretty close to the battle calc odds.
-
Yeah it would be tough to limit that type of stuff. There is a battle calc link on this site as well people could always use and there are other methods.
As wittman and Cow point out you can do similar calcs in your head and come out pretty close. You just base them on Low Luck. 6 inf, 10 arm attack that is 6 hits. Defender with 15 inf, is 5 hits. Next rd is 1 inf, 10 arm vs. 9 inf. So basically 5 hits to 3. Next rd 8 arm vs. 4 inf. 4 hits to 1-2. And then you can always assume worst case or best case scenarios off of that. What if they get extra hit per rd? What if you do? Etc.
Anyway it is a good enough method to help plan moves, keep up dead zones, and make sure you aren’t walking into a bad situation without using a battle calc.

Ok… outvoted… I always use the add up each type and divide by 6 rule. Add +1 for enemy fire, subtract +1 for friendly fire… :roll:
