• Bidding to play allies?  Wow at least for 41, I thought allies got the slight edge already.  What’s the concensus for 42?  Who has edge?


  • Make a negative bid if you think allies have advantage. I had to do last year when we bidded for axis, a -25 bid 3 games and still I won 2 of 3 as axis  :wink:


  • you won one of those due to me not haveing polished my allied skills func ;) The players that have polished theyre allied skills have a clear edge on the best axis players in -41 now.

    @cts17:

    Okay, so the Dardanelles option of being closed is off, so it is open, then?

    Correct.

    @hobo:

    In both versions, it seems more people feel the Axis have the Adv.  With the bigger adv in '41 and a slight adv in '42.  I have no idea, I haven’t played enough of either but the consensus here wanted an Allied bid.

    Our stats showed Axis with a ~58% when we bid for them last year.  I’m guessing a straight up game will give the Axis about a 55-45 adv.  Bidding for the Allies?  I’m hoping it doesn’t shift and sart giving the Allies a greater than 60% chance.

    It shouldn’t take too long for us to get a good read on bids and where placements are going.

    And if the Allies start pulling out more then we should see what happen last year in the League, everyone playing straight up games.

    In the meantime if you guys are right and strong Allied players have the adv then you can take adv of that and probably get at least a 3-6 bid (perhaps more) and rack up the wins.

    With the new bid sistem, the proper bid will be lesser from 25  :-)


  • darth what does  ADS, and NO’s  stand for

    thanks


  • found no=national objectives

    but i ve slipped this ADS

    thanks in advance


  • Amon buddy, good to see you again. Where ya been hiding lately?

    I think ADS refers to the dice system or type of dice used. As in, regular dice, not low luck. Am I correct people?

    probably you re.

    well, i ve been advancing on private matters and with some good players and friends here went off + triple a broken and the politics forum banned … simply missed interest in coming to the site… but i ve decided to come back and try to play some games…

    are you up for une
    revised or the new game maybe
    havent played it yet
    what say you


  • and thanks for help
    you re sure right :)


  • Hmm, can’t seem to find the bid placement rules.  The 2010 league rules refer to previous leagues’ bid placement rules, but the rules for previous leagues have been removed.  Can anyone tell me the placement rules for bids?  :-D
    Thanks.

    Thanks.

    It is the same bid system used for the revised league. It is an unrestricted bid, meaning you can take the IPC’s for a later purchase or for immediate units to be placed before the game begins.

    Example: allies bid 9 and place one china inf in SUI, one UK inf in EGY & 1 russian inf in KAR or a UK destroyer in SZ2 and Russia get’s + 1 ipc to be spent on their turn.

    Does this make sense?
