Funky to scramble 110 but not 111. Guessing it is to make sure you have a fighter left for Taranto.
Was hoping to scare off a 111 scramble with my sending of only one sub. Less keen on the 110 scramble.

Will have to review this one. I don’t understand how USSR got too strong for Germany.

@MrRoboto said in Post League Game Results Here:
I think Monopoly is a bad example for two reasons:
-
That game is notoriously bad designed and much more luck dependent. The “skill” involved comes down to 2-3 ground rules, knowing the event cards and knowing the field values (very easy to learn). An extremely experienced player can be beaten at any time by a 10-year-old.
-
It involves psychology. Auctions work fundamentally different on a mechanical level. If someone is a very charismatic player, he or she may persuade others to make worse choices.
When there is a skill / Experience difference, the better player can overcome dice deviations from the average. Whenever I play someone better than me, my opponent manages not to give me any chances for a big gamble. They maneuver their units in such a way, that I have maybe a 15% chance to attack somewhere - which would make no sense for me to do. Thus, they avoid many chances for dice hitting them in the face.
However, at same skill level, dice can play a crucial role and have led me to take a break from the game because it can be super frustrating. I also recognize I had my fair share of wins against evenly skilled players due to dice, which actually also feels hollow.
I don’t remember reading this but I gave it a heart.
I enjoy the thoughts. I think both Monopoly and Axis and Allies are more nuanced than you described. I win 2 player games by auction savvy. There is also skill in deciding when to build houses or tear them down. In a 2 player game, you don’t worry about the other player making deals with others and not you. There are a lot of decisions if you think about it.A&A, oh my. Now this is my wheelhouse. It is not smart to give 15% odds in all instances until you are sure you are going to win. Even then, only giving 15% odds will help the other player start to get back in the game. We’re about to play our first game. I look forward to taking you to school. :innocent: :muscle:

Everyone,
In case anyone is wondering, I have noticed that the 2023 rankings are top-heavy (lots of M, E, 1, and few 2 and 3) so far. I am not going to take the time to investigate other than I see 2022 and 2021 were much more balanced. It may have to do with how many games different players are finishing, and a little to do with players who haven’t finished 3 yet, but there aren’t many of those any more.
It’s still relative, and I think Points per game averages continue to be the best measure of player results/strength.

Probably because of dawg playing 27/123.5 games. Last year it was a lower proportion. How there is half a game is another mystery.

Thank you, good work.
I think Dawg might have improved, so with him being a 2 that raises all boats.When there’s a half it means I made a mistake I need to find

Horrible UK1 (every single battle failed), dicings in Moscow and against US Air later in the game and finally a desperate last stand in Cairo, which unfortunately also went the Axis way.
