@wheatbeer:
The average bid on forum games seems to be increasing and this includes matches between evenly skilled and experienced players.
If you don’t need a “hand out” Whitshadw, then you’ll find no shortage of Axis opponents here �:lol:
It could also mean that players are thinking inside the same box and all their strategies are based around the same basics. If most players are a lot better at the axis then they are at the allies they can be equaly skilled and the result would be as you describe.
If everybody paints their house blue it does not mean it is a better color then red :)
The carrier in the med is way overpowered for the allies, basicaly the axis cannot win on the europe board with that bid. You just crush the italian navy round 1 and then secure the med for the allies. After that italy is down to making nearly nothing and UK + russia can easy keep germany busy while the US polishes off japan.
The bigest allied advantage is that have a lot of money, as the allied player you just have to not jump the gun and use that advantage.
I agree with Shadow
There needs to be a reasonable balance as far as the bid goes for the game… 1 fighter sure… And extra Grunt or 2 also NP but let’s not get carried away as far as what’s needed to win .
I have no issues playing on Tripple A with or with out the bid and holding my own so be it .
What it boils down to is … Is my strategy better then his and how can I over come his?
It’s Axis act and Allies React until you get The point where your acting and the axis needs to adjust . With a bid of 33 why not put 11 grunts in China to prevent the Burma road from being cut off? It becomes silly
Also Adam you play Low Luck I won’t even begin to scratch the board on how flawed that game style is and keep on point
Again this is all a matter of opinion
If you play the same person 30 times then he’s bound to figure out what your strategy is and overcome yours correct?
I’m not entirely opposed to the bid but it has to be with in reason yes I understand the axis have an advantage but people make it out to be so overwhelming that you need to make some sort of ludicrous bid to even stand a chance
