@nikola1975 said in PTV L25 PlayOff: Surfer (Allies) vs Nikola1975 (Axis +9):
@surfer Yes :) Let’s see how you react.
Ok. Let’s try this. Scramble orders?
So the Axis lost both games. Bid for the Allies?
@crockett36 Sorry, it’ll be Axis plus x.
@crockett36 Hard to tell how much of our loss was based on the setup vs our opponents simply being better. I’ll consult with @oysteilo before we open the bidding.
Crocket and I would prefer Allies, if you want the Axis at 0 we will give it to you.
I am fine with taking the axis again. i have not consulted with @mikawagunichi so it is just my opinion. I also think it should be clean with no bid.
@oysteilo That’s fine with me, not gonna get upset over a game that’s just for fun.
@mikawagunichi @Stucifer @crockett36 Looks like we’ve got sides chosen, and @oysteilo have agreed on powers, I’ll be Euro axis, he’ll be Japan this time (swapping from last game). Let me known when you guys are ready and I can fire up G1 and which email you all want for dice.
@mikawagunichi Germany’s up?
@crockett36 I’ll get it fired up after the holidays. Busy with family travel for the rest of the month.
@mikawagunichi Godspeed and merry Christmas!
@crockett36 Merry Christmas!
@mikawagunichi Hey!

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
@mikawagunichi @oysteilo I’m largely going to be playing UK & USSR, so I’ll take a look at first scrambles, thanks.
updated with the @crockett36 's email in there for you too
No scrambles into that death trap…4 starting inf as UK in the Home Islands? man, I forget every time how poorly this the OOB balance is lol
@Stucifer Be gentle, dear sir. OOB deserves the love shown to a matron of the family. It was the most crowd influenced game of the franchise. And the crowd pushed it in that direction. Some in the crowd that we play with. I’ve done an analysis of 1st vs 2nd edition. They, the crowd here, and the designer striped the Allies of air bases and resources to make it even more imbalanced. This happened on harris game design. The alpha 1,2,and eventually 3.
However, let’s keep in mind that There are 3500 ipcs worth of units on the board t1. 531 pieces. This doesn’t count the neutrals and activated units. So more. And to think that an addition of less than 60 ipcs makes it imbalanced in the other direction. This adjusted set up is 15 units. I’m guessing the allies take every game.
What’s crazy to me is some of these mods say it’s imbalanced and then add easy or default revenue streams to the Axis and exposed and vulnerable revenue streams to the Allies. And nobody touches technology. A new map for ptv is cool. Love the accessibility of the islands from multiple sea zones. But the way to course correct is almost always like flying a plane. Make careful adjustments and test the effect. OR just call it a house rule game and adjust for historical flavor or game play/balance.
