2016 League Post Game Results Here

Seriously, folks, the Axis are winning significantly more games than the Allies even with your +15 to +25 bids. �I understand a lot of people don’t like to add a lot of stuff to the board to start the game, so you might take a page from the balanced mod folks’ ideas and add an NO or 3 to the Allies.
Or just play Balance Mod, and save yourself the trouble of using edit mode every round to adjust PUs. With a 50/50 Axis to Allies win ratio (26 BM games played so far), seems like it is pretty darn close to hitting the sweet spot.
-
Not disagreeing, but no edits necessary unless you’re adding or changing NO’s.
A fixed bid of units to Russia plus a variable bid gives a bit more to the Allies without as much prerogative to the bid winner and no editing
But yeah, especially if you’re tired of 2nd edition at ALL, switch to the balanced mod

One of the worst G1’s I ever had turned out to be too much to turn around, despite all efforts.

Somebody’s gotta beat that ranger! :wink:
And the Allies lose yet again….
WHATT??? Somebody double check me, but I count EIGHTEEN wins in a ROW by the Axis in 2nd edition. That’s absurd
Switch to the balanced mod already

Giallo has played 19 games as Allies in 2nd edition and cdnranger has played nothing but Axis. I’m wondering how much that has to do with their current standings in the rankings…… maybe not much, I don’t know, just wondering
-
18 in a row! That makes me wonder if this game is as out of balance as the original one in the 1980’s was for the Allies!?!
-
If Me1945 resigns it will be 19…… my oh my

If accurate ratings are desired, then we should use 2 game series with the same bid for all league rated play. Same with balanced mod games.
The way the league ratings are structured, E or M players are to some extent disincentivized from playing Allies because that threatens their ability to make the playoff.
Experience = higher bids. Masters and elites are getting easy Axis wins against overly low bids. The solution is 2 games at an agreed upon bid.
-
play balance mod, 1 game axis 1 game allies.

I disagree Zhukov. I don’t mind playing with the allies and I am certain I am not the only M E tier that is willing to do that, but I do want a high bid to play with them. The basic game just favors the Axis to much. So the allies need the bid, but we all know this already and have known this for quite some time. Secondly. Complaining about overly low bids is pointless. It takes two to tango.

BerntBernt (Allies) STOMPS Shin Ji (Axis) in a Balance Mod game.
A crazy strong Italy will only take you so far, it seems.

Snigg (Axis) forfeits to MrRoboto (Allies +21)

I find it nearly impossible to truly follow the game when only half your opponents turns are posted to review.
Yes, you can view history in TripleA, but it’s no where as easy or apparent what has happened at a glance to me.
-
Huh, I am sorry, Snigg. I never even read the forum post to be honest, I find the tripleA history a thousand times better.
I can’t understand at all, how the tripleA history doesn’t enable one to check what has happened.
But as I said - sorry for that. I simply hate to wait for 15 seconds 3 times instead of 1 time. I am playing more than 1 game at a time, sometimes even more than 10. It adds up and is just annoying to wait for the posting process with USA and China and so far I didn’t see the necessity to post them.
I don’t know if you asked me to post USA, China and Anzac, before. You might have, maybe I forgot, you could have asked me again. It was not intentionally to disturb you.
