lol yes indeed, you get bit hard and it’ll become a permanent lesson learned
In the best of worlds. I’m not so confident about it as you are as I’m repeatedly making the same kind of blunder mistakes over and over again. Well, there’s always hope.

@henryV Sounds good, sent you a message.

I can take on one more game.
Looking for regular 2nd ed. (not a fan of BM). Oh, and I play no victory cities. You play 'til the other fella says “uncle”. That usually means a slightly smaller bid for the Allies, but we’ll leave that for the actually bidding.
I’ll play anyone. Don’t care if you’re tier 1, 2, 3, E or M

I’d be happy to play with you.

Cool. Not sure how we do the bidding on this new AAA interface without gumming up this thread with our list of bids and counter-bids.
Anyways, I’ll start the bidding at 22 for the Allies.

I’ve go it! I’ll set up the game and we can use that thread to do our bidding and counter-bidding. Feel free to counter-bid for the Allies while I set it up.

Our game is here.
Let me know on there where you want to place your $16 worth of extra stuff for the Allies.

PMs aren’t as easy to find in the new forum but if you click on the user profile and then the 3 dots, you can chat that way.

Ah! Excellent. Thanks.

Looking to get back into A&A after a few years’ break. Would start after the new year for the new league season. Any takers? I like Balmod.
-
Who the f is Balmod!?
Just kidding. Welcome back! Although you clearly were here before me.
I’d be happy to play with you when you get to tier 2 or above.
-
@trulpen Thanks! Can you explain the tiers to me or link me to a rundown?

"3a - Each player will belong to 1 of 5 tiers based on their 2019 league year game results, after completing 3 games. Cutoffs for tiers will be at 5.50 PPG for tier M (Master); 4.50 for tier E (Elite); 3.50 for tier 1; and 2.50 for tier 2.
Players will be awarded points as follows:
Win over tier M, E, 1, 2, 3 earn 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 points, respectively
Lose to tier M, E, 1, 2, 3 earn 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 points, respectively
Point totals are divided by # of games played to arrive at PPG (Points per game)Points awarded are changed when a past opponent rises or falls a tier - that is, every player’s current point total reflects the current standing of their past opponents. Until 3 games are completed, players will be assigned to tier 3 by default unless they completed 3 games in 2018, in which case they will continue with that past ranking until obtaining a new 2019 ranking (3 games completed)."

Okay great! Thanks for that explanation. I played (and lost) 3 league games in 2016, to RegularKid, Mr. Roboto and Talleyrand. But I’d guess that given the gap in time I’m unranked.
Who’s willing to hand me my first butt-kicking? (I should mention for fear of being taken as a waste of time, I’m not bad at the game, I have a firm understanding of standard moves etc but those are all excellent players, or were, and I do remember having particularly horrid dice in one of those games.
-
@The-Shrike I’m happy to take you on for your first few games if you want. Do you prefer axis or allies?
-
@wizmark Thanks! I have no preference; although you’d have to educate me on bids. My understanding is that it’s quite common for Allies go for a bid of around 20?
Also, if I’m simply concerned with improving my rank by getting in games (even losses) I suppose we could start now instead of waiting until the new year. If you want to set up the game I’ll take my turn before bed tonight (EST). Busy for the next 6-7 hours but I’ll pass back to you before 10pm EST.
-
Balanced mod 3 usually has bids of 6-8. Still sees a slight majority of Axis wins.
-
@The-Shrike I could take an extra non-league game.
-
@LennardF Hi, if you want to set it up I could use the practice!
