Tutor game: trulpen (X) vs Avner [and everyone else] (A+23) BM3

  • '22

    @avner said in Tutor game: trulpen (X) vs Avner [and everyone else] (A+20) BM3:

    here I am (the weekend are not very operational)

    I would say to try in the BM3 version

    As a BID I usually assign it to the UK…

    Definitely a fig in Scotland and a sub in sz 98… There remains room for an artillery in Sudan (to eliminate the Duke of Aosta from the Duce’s undertaking).

    With this BID I would say to go like this … in the end.

    Or at least that’s what I usually do.

    :)

    If instead … as suggested by the bomber Harris and others … we want to increase the BID, let’s talk about it …

    Generally I prefer Taranto to sweep the Regia Marina quickly (they told me they didn’t put torpedo nets … :))

    PS. In Taranto I was in the military for a few months but this has nothing to do with it :)

    I’ve already experienced Trulpen’s strategy (even though it was PTV) so I’ll have to think accordingly …

    So do we keep the BID like this or do we increase it?


  • Just remember, I’m able to use several different strategies.


  • Because of NG, you could argue that the bid is already at 27.

  • '22

    @trulpen In my positioning there is no inf Anzac in NG, but we can add it (besides hunting in scotland, sub in sz 98 and art in sudan)


  • Of course, if no inf on NG then no +7 (tr) as well.

  • '22

    @trulpen We fix it like this and get started.

    I am inexperienced but I will have good advice from the world :)


  • Ok, so the bid placement is:

    fig Scotland
    sub z98
    art Sudan
    inf NG (making this a bid of 30)

    Not sure it’s wise of me to allow an extra 3 IPC for the inf on NG, but as this is a tutor game and not competitive, I’ll allow it. However, it might tilt the game and make it less interesting, but we’ll see about it. Rather experimental anyway.

    @trulpen

    i confirm ;)


  • A single dice roll during the first round can easily be a 20 point swing, such as a German plane hitting or missing the Allied ship. Bad choices such as being overly conservative in the attack plans can have even more long-term consequences. Despite this being a tutor game, so many decisions still fall on the shoulders of Avner. Differences in skill levels will soon be apparent from the game play.

    We saw this in the last tutor game where the initial 50 PU bid quickly vanished in value as the units were not used for productive attacks during the first round when such a large amount of units should have had a drastic course change for the initial orders.

  • I was considering building Graf Zeppelin in order to strafe z111, despite the extra fig, with the idea of keeping Bismarck. Finally decided against it, since I somehow feel that 2 inf, 6 mech is a stronger opening.

    Thus only attack z110 and bring Bismarck in there. Scramble?

  • '22

    I guess I’m not mixing anyone …

    I don’t think there is any need for advice for this … I guess :)

    PS u-boot in 124 was left there on purpose right?


  • Yes, I left the sub intentionally in order to move it during NCM.


  • @arthur-bomber-harris and all who joined.
    Hi to all.
    The 30 bid is not a usually BM game bid.
    The bid here for a Tutor game should have been 24 for @Avner Allies.
    That would have been the max @trulpen would have granted him.
    Arthur made some vallid points allready regarding the use of the bid.

    I wish all of us a good time and I think this is the right way ( playing Tutor games) to sort things out, get a viable understanding of the latest triple a forum gameplay Strategies and tactics and tightens the Level of gameplay for this community.

    Now i dropped my two cents,
    carry on. 😉

  • '22

    We say that there is no competition, he is a tutor :)

    The aim is to learn the principles on this version then obviously the value of the BID is personal (and can be “burned” in the first round as Harris rightly wrote).

    However I would say to confirm the NO scramble.


  • @avner said in Tutor game: trulpen (X) vs Avner [and everyone else] (A+23) BM3:

    However I would say to confirm the NO scramble.

    Carrying on then. No scramble seems to be the better choice.
