2011 Tournament discussion (AA50-41)

I play OOB every now and then. you meet a guy, he says he’s played revised but not aa50 and wants to give it  try, meh basically allies getting zero bid = axis gets a free mistake.

KGF is easier and has a higher success rate. you know it is true. Plus the games end by round 9. you either lost moscow and failed to take berlin or you took berlin and lost moscow or you took berlin and moscow held. 2 of the 3 scenarios are favorable for allies.

the only time you might play out past round 9 or 10 is if both sides failed or if japan got moscow and uk or usa got berlin.  usually japan doesn’t have enough to beat usa and uk. he needs enough leftover men to A) dominate africa and outproduce allies in income B) take back and hold germany or italy… I’ve yet to see that C) have west usa.

I’ve done C and A to someone as axis. I’ve had C happen to me once, which is bs. 8 inf 2 tank and a fighter losing to 2 bombards and 6 guys. whatever, I did it to someone too for the heck of it. 10-25% is 10-25%… it happens.

also dutchman, boldfresh missed so many opportunities. don’t mention his KGF to me, ever again.

@Cow:

i like your style Cow  :wink:

you have 1000+ tuv game… 500+ for each side. I hate games like that. because they can go on 14 round plus. in real life 10 hour game? in triplea 5-7hour game? most games resolve in 2-3 depending on how long people think about what they are doing. real life games 3-6 hours usual.

it’s like you couldn’t find a battle.

gi_joe over cow.  cow couldn’t hit against british forces all game with germany. lost sz 2 battle with sub fig bomber (total miss) and sz12 with sub 2 fighter (total miss)  on g1 and lost germany on a 77% defense on uk 3. :| which is pretty sad but that’s ok. even if i put a couple a couple more guys the way he rolled and the way i rolled… jesus.

PWNED!

You must be all talk, to get knocked out in the first round against a total noob!

See you next year Cow.

lol shit happens. like the time i lost 1 carrier 2 fighters to a single fighter… and that bastard flew away… and i choose carrier as my first casualty… lool but i won that game, because boats and oceans never matters.

:-)
I thought GI Joe’s men all came by sea….

So Cow, doesn’t that make you COBRA?

Hey Gargantua,

Why do you call me a Noob?  :?
Yes, this was my first game on this site.

I also play on GTO, DAAK and TripleA.

PS, i play A&A for 25 years now.

Exactly my point,

I watched your play style… sloppy LOL.  Hope we meet in the tournament!

Well, it would have to be in the finals.  Fat chance!

Looking forward to it hahaha.

don’t worry GI_JOE. you roll good, take advantage of that and you be fine! gogogogo super defense!

Also Zhuk over DF

Is there any constraint on what types of units can be included in the bid… i.e. bombers when the bid is 12 or more?

Other sites have a restriction… I think mostly for the Soviet bomber in Bury reason…

Yea, you can get your tnps and dd in z51 sunk before you start.  8-)

There’s only a 57% chance of that happening.  And then you have no extra infantry to Egypt, no destroyer to 2, etc.  Japan starts with 5 transports.  Yes, they will be unable to take a money island and that’s an 8 IPC swing, but that’s again only if Russia wins this coin flip of an attack.  I’ve heard all this talk about the Bomber on Buryatia like it’s some kind of game over thing, but my opinion is that it’s an over-reaction.

You have a 29% chance of killing the destroyer and the transports surviving.
You have a 14.286% chance of getting NOTHING BUT BROWN JUNK on the Pacific floor for your 12 bid!!!

To answer your question, I never saw any rules on this site about bid restrictions other than you have to already have units there and it has to be your nation controlling the territory (No german units to Libya for example).

I would support forbidding bomber bids.  The reason is….a bid like that (bmb to Bry) doesn’t improve game quality–it makes the outcome of the game even more dependent on a dicey R1 attack.  If it succeeds it is very tough for Axis to recover, if it fails Allies have lost their bid.

Anyway, I can’t recall seeing a 12 bid on here.  Seems like a high bid for a dice game.
