2011 Tournament discussion (AA50-41)

AS LONG AS BOTH (good) PLAYERS AGREE ON BID

there isnt any problem with any bid

thats the ˝beauty˝ of bid ;)

so
any bid
any combination

as long the units are in the territory in which The Nation(receiving the bid) puts its unit(s) there

so if somebody can play a great game with Axis and win a good player giving him 11 12 13 or 14 IPC

whats the problem

in future maybe bid will be 5-8
or 2-4
or 15-18

who knows

or maybe it stays around 6-9

as its today

the thing is that in the bid
you decide
you ˝roll˝ from one side posibilty to play allies with X while giving your oponent oportunity to play with X-1

one great thing about this forum playing is bid i enjoy it

as for luck issue

luck can be and it is a factor always

even in the most strategic way of playing

risk luck its part of teh game always more or less

and if U want to have a bom in buryatia

and build your efforts early on on risky attacks push forward

Your opponent is counting on it and he is giving you this őpportunity of risk˝ freely

he is no ˝stupid computer˝ or naive
simply

he thinks he can take u down with axis with your 12 IPc bid
or even he assumes the bur bom :D

limiting any limiting in start leads to discussion about new limits

the territory and nation ristriction is logical and almost all agree with it.

other restrictions are simply ˝blocking˝ this great game

which evolved so much so so much from revised in the possibilites of playing in the numbers of difeerent strategies tactics lucks risks and everything else combined in teh same pot…

so i think there s plenty there s everything needed for both sides of players strategists and gamers…

this game offers both… it offers

Great Strategy and Great Fun…

limiting either simply limits both…

Cheers and sorry for my bad english which hasnt improved much over years  :lol:

Excellent post, Amon, and I agree.

I’m not afraid to give anyone a 12 bid because he might put a bomber on Buryatia  :roll:
He then has no extra infantry to Egypt or boats to Z2, both of which can help a lot.
And he only has a 57% chance of sinking 2 transports, and Japan still has 3 others so it’s not the end of the Axis’ world.

LOL WHAT?  I thought I was good till may! Damn.

Anyways… As for what DutchmanD said-he’s right.  There are 2 kinds of players.

But without calling myself a hybrid, I’d argue there is a third kind as well.

Logistiscist.  These are the guys who build no more than 1 or 2 turns ahead in thier head,  who react accordingly to what’s happening in the field - with a specific focus on economic game control as opposed to strategic.  LL or regular dice is just fine.  It’s about what units CAN do - as oppossed to what they will do, That is the focus.  Gandeous strategy is prevented however - as it is regularily dependant on the moves of ones opponent, and how best to pragmatically counter them.  Using and moving EVERY single piece on the board into a fluid system IS the perfect game.  Taking risks here and there, with a general strategy that encompasses all versions of Axis and Allies (spare the mini games).

I fit into this category.  And if you disagree with it’s exsistence, where do you put me then?  as a strategist because I stick to my plans?  Or as a Gamer because I take risks?  Hyrbid maybe…

I hope I see Darth in the tournament, I want to pop some of his Jap transports and cruiser again US1 - coming right across the Pacific!

Gargantua over Quark.

See you all in the next tournament.

Cheers

Quark

Quark fought hard Gentleman.  So don’t think less of him just because it was a G4 surrender.

If the dice had even been 40% even favour, he had a good shot at staying in the fight .  Except they weren’t.

Butcher over Pavlov.  He got burned by dice pretty hard multiple times, otherwise our game would have gone on a lot longer.

DM, should we begin playing second round games as soon as both people are finished with their first round game or should we wait for everyone to finish round 1?

Yuh!  inquiring Gargs want to stomp me sooner rather than later  :cry:

Good question indeed, but it doesn’t really matter now, when all games should be finished today. :lol:

DD over Boldfresh in a grueling 34 round, 87 page odessy for the ages which included the fall of three different capitols durung the course of the match.

If you love atypical matches where the the Germans control the Atlantic, the Americans land in Tokyo, and the Italians own the Philippenes, Sumatra, and Borneo, then take some spare time to watch how this one unfolded. The match also included several occassions of huge Russian stacks of 80 units in Balk, and Germans taking Mexico. A real fun one.
