What percentage is luck involved in a games outcome?

@i:

i dont see the need for an axis bid it seems the axis always win to me.

Maybe that is because your age is XXII  :roll:

The “common” bid for axis is 8-9 ipc.

I will just say that there can be no Bombers or Aircraft Carriers with out advanced flight.

And I prefer to use “boat anchor” place of “cat”

AA Guns are like normal defenders.

Total Fighters / 6 if the remainder is 1, 2 or 3 you miss the remainder, otherwise you get another hit for 4, 5 and 6

Do the same for bombers, though, if you are being attacked by more then 6 bombers, it’s pretty safe to assume you’re already screwed.

Only difference would be SBR since it is gun on bomber, you just roll that normally.

Canals are not zones.  They do not count as spaces for land or air.

There are a few threads already posted on bidding and how to do it…

Those should get you started.

You can also read the essays on the subject at DAAK

(click DAAK-club rules along the left side, bidding is the second topic that will come up in the main window)

That should get you up and running.

If you still have questions after reviewing those, please feel free to ask :-)

My opponent did do quite some havoc and his AF never dropped below 10 once he reached this at UK4…
But, like Jetfan4hire already posted: Probably that won’t work against an axis player who knows what he is doing…

G was crippled heavily short after with only 3 territories remaining - value 22 IPC’s
I know, I messed up really bad that game :-)
So, G didn’t have the force to strike back at the figs…
And that’s the reason why things worked out for my opponent…

Or, if you are like me, just raid chips (and extra Japan INF and ARM, something else I have run out of in the last 2 games I played) from your Milton Bradley Classic AA game.  Exactly the same size and style :-)
