In the past it hasn’t been a TripleA issue – to wit, you can’t attach “any” file to a post. That time Veqryn tried attaching a jpeg to a post and aa-org wouldn’t let him. And the site is behaving the same way now. I’d guess whatever was going on before is happening again.

That is why I prefer to incorporate the “no more than one unit per territory or seazone” rule.

I think the great variation that bids provide allow for great replayability. Who wants a game that always depends on what kind of dice Germany got G1? Pick sides, set up the board, roll a couple dice, quit. Blech.

To your point about a 12 being too much, though - only 1 game has been finished in the league this year with a bid over 11, and the axis(-15) won.

Most good players are not going to give their opponent more than 10, is what we’ve been seeing in the league results. And among what appear to be opponents of close skill level, the Allies have won at +9, +10, +8, +10, +9, and +8. And the Axis have won at -9, -15, -7, -9, and -11. Yes, that’s a small sample size, but it seems to be pretty even.

I think the best judges of when a game is fair and balanced are the players. As you can see, over half the games have been run at an 8 or 9. And 2/3 of those games have been won by the Allies. You have people that don’t want to give bids too big, people that acknowledge the Axis has an advantage, people that don’t really want to play the Allies - it’s an interesting and fluid dynamic that always seems to find its own level.

I’ll send to your email after UK…

Looks like aa-org is having the usual uploading problem…

Hey, no pressure. But I was just messaged that you’re a really good player. So the bar is set high. I expect you to win on both maps, now.  :wink:

Good thing I had it saved!

Hmmm. Not sure what happened…

IMHO, I think the bid addresses any imbalance nicely. If there is an axis advantage, then there should be a limit as to what a player would be willing to give the other to play the allies.

I think Pacific victories would be harder to come by, and make it easier on the USA. I think the game works pretty well as it stands, with the ability to bid.
