Defending against a 21+ bid Power Europe

  • Moderator

    There really isn’t a counter b/c that’s what its designed to do and can be done by anyone.  Maybe if I actually taught Newbies ‘how to’ do this the online clubs would respond and change their rules.

    Is that what you’re looking for then, the Clubs to try and do away with PE bids, or lower the frequency of their use?

    Are you saying, if you teach new players PE bids, then they could go in beat the the higher skilled players in PE, thus forcing clubs to rethink this, or to do something about it, because that club’s “rankings” aren’t really a valid indication of who is the most skilled.

    Is this the jist of it, or did I completely miss what you are getting at.

    I wonder if you could give PE victories less points if they win.  A PE victory gets you 5 pts, but a PAfr gets you 15 pts, while a PA might get you 20pts.

    You’d have to define what each bid type is, but that would be fairly easy.

    Persoanlly if I were to start a Club, I would mandate the same style of game for every game, so all the games are uniform from the start.

    No bidding, No PE, PAfr, or PA.  I and those helping to start it would come up with what we believe is a fair starting pt.

    Example Ger gets 4 inf, 1 arm in Afr, 1 inf in EE/Ukr and J gets 1 inf for Man

    Then every 3 Months (or whatever time frame you desire) or “X number of games” the Club leaders re-evaluate your standard set up and adjust accordingly based on all the game results.

    If your first setup yields Allied victories 60% of the time, then you must add to the Axis at your next adjustment period to level the playing field.
    And adjust the Rankings due to the skewing of the first set.  If the results come out 55% Allies, you might say that is good enough and stick with it, until that starts to skew more.

    Be very careful when trying this strat yourself DM b/c it is IMO weak.  One of the best reasons for an early purchase of a few bombers by the Allies is to preclude this from happening.  If the Allies get a bmb lead b/c they go first(the axis reacts to them) then they should be able to build and maintain a bmb edge over Japan.  If Japan starts a tech war/bmb race when the Allies already have on the board 3-4 bmbs then they are asking you to let them slit their own throats b/c they should not win such a tech race.  The loss to the Allies is minimal in doing this as well if the UK builds its fleet on turn1 and turn 2 moves its carrier 1boat to Africa to start the retake with the US then they can put off the rest of their fleet build enabling them to do something exotic.  I for one have never seen the Japs start a tech war when the UK has 3bmbs to their 1.  This is a great example of how its necessary to think outside of the box as the Allies.  As I always say a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush, and getting 4inf as the UKto Africa on turns 2-3 can be almost as good as 6 on turn 3, but getting something like an extra bmb to prevent losing the tech race…priceless.

    I’m not a fan of Tech, so the likelyhood of me using this are slim, but it is still an option.  And I definitly WOULD NOT press my luck if UK bought 2 boms on UK 1 or something.  Like you said that is just inviting disaster.

    BUT if I was putting a pretty good move on Russia, and maybe the UK or US bom was shot down in rd 1 or 2, I might sneak a 2nd Jap bomber in rd 4, then if it appears to go unnoticed or unchallenge I may try in the next rd as well since Boms can directly stike Russia’s Eastern border with ease they aren’t harmful to buy.  Then maybe just then Tech could be an option.

    But if the Allies make an early bom purchase or maintain a bom lead over Japan, I would not go this route.  You don’t want to wake a sleeping giant.

    Also, this strat is helpful in RR with Axis Adv, since SuperSubs is out of the way, but you do still have to play attention to what the Allies are doing as you pointed out.


  • Is that what you’re looking for then, the Clubs to try and do away with PE bids, or lower the frequency of their use?

    No not exactly.  It would be nice however if they were to realize the game is broken and that there no longer is on great incentive to play the game.  I’ve spoken to several of the old school players and this accounts for a great deal of the high frequency of brain drain instead of pure burnout.

    Are you saying, if you teach new players PE bids, then they could go in beat the the higher skilled players in PE, thus forcing clubs to rethink this, or to do something about it, because that club’s “rankings” aren’t really a valid indication of who is the most skilled.

    I was largely being facetous, but there is some truth behind this.  The rankings may or may not reflect a skill heirarchy but it may not just as easily.  The clubs I’ve seen haven’t been very concerned with change an innovation and have as a result found themselves behind the curve.  Players can then decide to accept that or not and that decision will affect whether they continue to play or not.  I do think there is some distortion but how much is pure speculation but there seems to have been a great deal of upward mobility of lower rated players about the time when bids started to dramatically rise and PE became more prevalent.  You connect the dots.

    I wonder if you could give PE victories less points if they win.  A PE victory gets you 5 pts, but a PAfr gets you 15 pts, while a PA might get you 20pts.

    Maybe this would work but for many players its about the pride of defending their record that motivates them to play.  I really could care less about my (points) but do care about winning more than I lose.  So like some I think winning only 50% but gaining points would seem cheap.  IMO nobody plays for ratings or points but for the thrill of competition and the unexpected.  Its nice to see that lower ranked players can knock off a top player by getting lucky occasionally b/c it means that the outcome of any game is undetermined beforehand.  Its not interesting to see the game become so irrelevent that a PE player can get high ranked without really ever playing a game much past turn 5.

    Persoanlly if I were to start a Club, I would mandate the same style of game for every game, so all the games are uniform from the start.

    But that would absolutely kill it.  I like seeing variation it makes things interesting.  Also its nice to sometimes see a player use inferior strategy and succeed in spite of themselves.  If the best player always won why play?  Remember the reason people watch the NCAA tourney is not b/c Chaminade might actually win the hole thing but b/c Chaminade might win 1 game.  Its that which makes it exiting.

    I disagree.

    Lower skilled players could still win.  There are still dice rolls, and even the best players make mistakes get over confident, underestimate their opponent.
    Or better yet, they learn something and improve and come back to play another day.
    But you don’t want lower skilled players being Ranked #1,2,3 etc. just because a certain play or bid style gives the lower skilled an adv.

    If I were to run a Club, I wouldn’t think it is fair that one player wins with 21 bid while another wins with 23.  The pts they get (for winning) should be adjusted because they had the adv of starting out with 2 more IPC.

    All competition needs a level playing field.  The whole point of bids is to give the Axis a shot at winning and level the playing field.
    In the case of my fictional A&A Club I would need a system to either have the starting point be uniform, or adjust the winners score based on their bid amount due to the varying bids.
    Or perhaps even seperate divisions for players that like different styles much like LL or Revised, etc:  like the PE division, PAfr, PA, or the whatever you want division.

    If the best player always won why play?

    To beat the best!  Thus becoming the best.

    Why play the Patriots, they were world champs and the best.  You play them to see how you stack up and to try and become the best.  And hey Denver beat them and Pit beat the Colts, then Pit beat Den and Sea beat Car.  Now we are left with Pit vs. Sea for the best.
    But next year, you start over to see who the best is again.  You didn’t see the NFL give up after SB I.

    Remember the reason people watch the NCAA tourney is not b/c Chaminade might actually win the hole thing but b/c Chaminade might win 1 game.  Its that which makes it exiting.

    True.  That’s why you wathc rds 1 and 2, to see which #2 seed will crumble.
    But then why will people watch Duke vs. whoever in the Final, or N.C. vs. U of I last year.

    And unlike Charminade, who only gets one shot a year, an A&A player can learn and continually get better to ultimately challenge the best.

    Best vs. best is the challenge.

    Texas vs. USC.

    and now Pit vs. Sea in the SB.


  • But consider the sheer amount of luck involved in all sporting contests.  Hell if Iowa hadn’t gotten unlucky and been cursed by the crappy officiating they probably would’ve won the Outback Bowl. :wink:

    Or what if that INT dropped by Polamalu in the Indy game had led to an Indy TD.  Pitt doesn’t go to the Superbowl then.  There are a plethora of underdogs winning in sports which is why they are so compelling to watch.

    All competition needs a level playing field.  The whole point of bids is to give the Axis a shot at winning and level the playing field.

    And believe me a bid does just that.  Even at 21 I could argue the game is too balanced.  If you and I had played all those LL games ADS you probably would’ve one a few more just b/c of dice rolling.  If minimizing this is something you’d like try using larger faced dice.  A while back a friend of mine and I played some games with 12,18 and 24 sided dice which really took the luck out of the game b/c there was a greater field of potential numbers in play.

    First I’ll respond to the how to beat a 21+ PE… bid 20

    I’ve been out of the loop for a while, AS are you still playing at any of the clubs?


  • I haven’t played in the clubs in years.  Once I realized some of the basic flaws of the game and how to exploit them it became less fun to play competitively.  Which is not to say that I’m not unbeatable but that I could very carefully manage my rating by controlling who I play to get and stay very near the top of the rankings.  That is if I were to play 2/3 of my games against sub 1500 or even sub 1525 players(AAMC ratings) and play the remaining third against those above this I would continuously improve.  This is b/c the gap btwn and accurately rated 1525 or less player is great enough for me to win as much as 85-90% of these games, and the games against people above this can be mostly luck anyway and since these will be the games which are more favorable ratings wise you don’t have to win as many.

    This is certainly true with the 23 PE bid, give it to me against even the best players and I will win some points off them.  That’s b/c the luck will even out eventually from game to game and essentially the strength of this bid is that it is stronger than an Axis bid to Africa of the same amount.  I don’t fear Africa 23 or less at all, and PE at 22 is winnable but with even or favorable allied dice they should win.  Now a good player playing with a slightly lower bid and some good dice is still going to be hard to beat but that would be true if I bid more as well.  That is what I fear is not the bid or its amount but the luck the opposing player gets and their skill(ability) to use that luck against me.  I feel you could give an unskilled player all the luck and rerolls in the world and it wouldn’t help much.  On the other hand you could give a good player a bid of 12 and with some dice help they could still win.  Conversely, you could give a super player a large bid and bad dice and they would lose.

    That’s basicly my point, if you are afraid of a PE 21 figure out how to win with bid of 20.

    I didn’t think you played clubs any more, but I saw some comments on club play so I thought I would ask. :)


  • No it not that I think that PE 23 is too strong its that it has a statistical variance which assures success a given % of the time.  However, I wouldn’t be at all woried to play against it b/c I know I have a certain % occurance of winning, but I also know that PE at 23 will almost always lose.  If I know then that I will always win if I grant any bid under a certain amount there is no reason to go below it, and if I know there is only one way to really be beaten then obviously I take that knowing that it is essentially a defeatist position as well.


  • Drawing on DF’s “Bid 20” idea…

    Bid a “balanced 18”, 9 German, 9 Japan.

    Before you dismiss it, consider the logic using some recent Forum games in support…
    2 INF in Manchuria basically blocks the Russian invasion of Manch in R1.
    1 INF in Kwang shifts the odds for the Kwangtung Maneuver against the UK.
    Those 9 IPC’s block most of the “strong Asia” moves that the Allies can make in Turn 1, and keep Russia from being UP in IPC’s for R2 builds and forward.
    BTW:  This aspect is what I am testing in my current game with DF

    Now, the other 9 for Germany:
    2 INF to Libya and 1 INF to Ukraine (maybe Eastern, depending on your personal view)

    2 INF in Libya allows Germany to take FWA, FEA and Egypt in G1 without using their TRN and BB. 
    Instead, the TRN and BB attack Syria…  Average is sub sunk, and 68% chance that Germany takes Syria (and another 6% that UK has no forces left there… call it a 1 in 4 that Syria no longer holds UK forces).  That puts UK down 5 IPC’s for UK2 build…  Combine the UK fleet destruction that I advocate, and UK needs IPC’s to rebuild that it is rapidly losing…  And the India forces can either hold in India (to be destroyed) attack the reinforced Kwangtung, or move on Egypt without the extra INF from Syria…

    The extra INF in Ukraine simply makes the Russia strafe a bit more costly, but otherwise maintains the “status quo” in Europe of EE facing Karelia in a nasty little stand-off.

    UK weakened economically, with no ability to counter for 2 turns.
    Russia with massed Japan forces on the continent taking Russia’s eastern IPC’s away (lose 4 on J1, more than countering the taking of Ukraine)
    More UK lost income with Japan moving on India, Australia and New Zealand.
    German forces in both Africa and the Middle East to attack on G2 into Persia and strike toward South Africa (leaving UK only 3 IPC’s in Africa come UK2)

    It would take a VERY skilled player to counter this 18 IPC “Balanced Bid”.
    It makes the game interesteing for everyone, forces the Allies to play EXTREMELY well to counter, and gives the Axis a couple of rounds of parity with the Allies… a couple of rounds to either tip the scales in their favor, or to make mistakes and lose.

    And isn’t that the point of a bid?  To make the game balanced?

    No this will not work b/c it doesn’t do enough for Germany.  If you put the 3inf in Europe then that will pose no problem to the Russians.  If you put it in Africa that will pose no problem for the Brits.  The Allies will mop up in Africa, contain in Europe and retreat in Asia until the get strong enough and will push back.  Look at my game against DM my bid had 2inf in both Europe and Asia as well as 4inf in Africa but I think you will see that even with the basic bid allignment plus some DM as Russia will not be easily rolled back in Asia or Europe.

    Now, the other 9 for Germany:
    2 INF to Libya and 1 INF to Ukraine (maybe Eastern, depending on your personal view)

    And I guarantee that anything you put into AES with Germany gets attacked by the Brits.  one turn and done big deal.  The inf in Europe is irrelevent.

    2 INF in Libya allows Germany to take FWA, FEA and Egypt in G1 without using their TRN and BB. 
    Instead, the TRN and BB attack Syria…  Average is sub sunk, and 68% chance that Germany takes Syria (and another 6% that UK has no forces left there… call it a 1 in 4 that Syria no longer holds UK forces).  That puts UK down 5 IPC’s for UK2 build…  Combine the UK fleet destruction that I advocate, and UK needs IPC’s to rebuild that it is rapidly losing…

    Here’s what I have in this scenario…Germany takes AES with 2inf arm(which can still be attacked from India 2inf ftr f/India bmb f/Uk).  Odds are the Uk clears w/o loss of air or takes w/1inf.  Secondly, you assume that it is a given you can destroy the Uk fleet easily but consider a move I used a while back against DM in a game where R1 was 6inf 2arm v Ukr(3inf 2arm ftr), 2ftrs vBalSz(sub trn), and sub v SpainSz(sub).  I pushed the sub in Spain to the CAtl where its only option was to attack the Lab trn, the ftrs destroyed the Baltic fleet with no loss and the Kar trn was able to reinforce the UkSz fleet so it had a bb 2trn and Ukr was taken w/2arm.  This means that to destroy the UkSz fleet you must send all 5 air units against the 3boats unless you will take 2 or more hits which is excessive.  Further you will have to ignore the WMedSz fleet in order to attack Syria and probably not use any air units which means it is 2inf v 1inf which is an extremely risky move.  Even if this succeeds the Brits can pull 2inf f/India to SAfr so that if you attack you will lose 2inf and take yourself down to just 3inf arm for the entire continent.  One boatload from the Uk and the battle here is over.

    The extra INF in Ukraine simply makes the Russia strafe a bit more costly, but otherwise maintains the “status quo” in Europe of EE facing Karelia in a nasty little stand-off.

    All it means is I send 1 more inf on R1 to account for this.  You’re trading 1inf for 1inf which doesn’t seem to be the best use.

    UK weakened economically, with no ability to counter for 2 turns.

    Weakened?  No counter?  Hardly.  As I said the Uk can either attack AES or play defensive either way b/c you didn’t bid enough into Africa your destruction of this force will cost you more than it will the UK, and once they can land in the West of the continent its pretty much over.  At worst the Uks production will drop no lower than 18-21 which is not enough to ride them off.  In fact I’ve found the Uk really can’t be weakened even when they have 12ipcs(Canada + the British Isles) they will produce 4inf a turn which is not enough on its own to do anything but great to use as an ancillary power until they get some money back.

    Russia with massed Japan forces on the continent taking Russia’s eastern IPC’s away (lose 4 on J1, more than countering the taking of Ukraine)

    Sure if you assume Russia doesn’t do anything.  I bid 2inf into Manchuria and DM didn’t even blink on R1 did you see that.  Russia is far more powerful than you give them credit.

    More UK lost income with Japan moving on India, Australia and New Zealand.

    And turn 2 will be the low point b/c Japan and Germany can reach their zenith of ipcs taken from Britain.  However, on turn 3 Britain should recover by gaining the WAfrican ipcs which makes up for India or Aust.  Even w/o AES, Syria, IEA and Kenya, BCongo Britian should be at 21 and each turn they will increase as they take AES and Africa f/Germany.

    It would take a VERY skilled player to counter this 18 IPC “Balanced Bid”.

    Yeah me :wink:  Or Darth Maximus :mrgreen:


  • Well AS…

    All I can do to counter your arguments about the “difficulty” in destroying the UK fleet is this…

    Go look at the current game I have with Dezrtfish. 
    After G1:
    USSR SUB and TRN sunk
    UK BB and TRN sunk
    ECan TRN sunk
    Gibraltar BB sunk
    Eastern Med SUB sunk

    Germany still has 4 of 5 FIGS, and their bomber.
    UK has 1 TRN on the board, in India.  If they counter Egypt for 2 IPC’s, they lose India for 3, then Persia.  If they stay in India, they lose Africa, and India the following turn.

    Reinforcements possible in Africa by the Allies in the remainder of T1 and all of T2 consist of 2 INF from the US, and the UK India forces… unless they want to send AF down there…

    NCS, I think you’ll find much of Asia irrelevant to the Allies.  Barring KJF, Japan always takes Ind, Sfe, Yak, Sin and Chi, it makes little difference if they get these in rd 2 or 3, But what is important is that the Russian troops don’t get killed.  Retreat, retreat, retreat…then whn J tries to move to Novo you attack with at least 7-10 inf, 5-7 arm, 2 ftrs.  You can do 2 rds of strafe and severly hurt Japan.Â

    Remember our game, granted there was no bid to Asia, but the principal is still the same.
    Russia (and the Allies) do not need to engage the Japanese till they approach Novo, which won’t be till rd 3.
    Which means Russia needs to take on Germany for the first 3-4 rds then can start to turn its attention to Japan because UK and US troops will now be arriving in Kar.

    Once Germany is boxed in in Europe, Russia can hold off Japan indefinitely.

    UK can easily trade Ind for kicking out Ger in Egy (and Afr), and if you can do it with out any extra shipments Germany is going to be trouble.

    I just did my turn against AS, and I easily traded my 3 inf, 1 ftr, 1 bom for his 4 inf, 1 arm in egy, and he placed 4 inf there to start.  2 extra inf in Lib, will not be enough to scare the Allies.

    J will get the added boost of Ind, but it still takes newly purchased units 2-3 turns to hit the front.  I’m betting I can hold down Ger enough, before these troops really have an effect.

    And I guess what I am telling you is that I would not have played r1 like he did. :wink:

    I would’ve been far more proactive with the Russians in order to make it as hard as possible for Germany to destroy the fleet so as to spread them out and force them into either or decisions.  Either they lose their fleet or air or they don’t touch the WMed BB.  Either they ignore the UkSz or they risk heavy losses.

    NCS, I think you’ll find much of Asia irrelevant to the Allies.  Barring KJF, Japan always takes Ind, Sfe, Yak, Sin and Chi, it makes little difference if they get these in rd 2 or 3,

    Yes absolutely.

    I would argue however that this was a bad move b/c there is a significant risk that you lose all units and leave Germany with 1 or 2.  Ultimately it comes down to the first round attacking dice by the UK, if they get two hits then it might pan out but 1/3 of the time they won’t.  And I would dare say that every time you don’t get two hits you will probably lose whereas even in the times that you do you aren’t guaranteed of a win.  Its essentially a crap shoot with a low payout.  But your point is sound if this move is iffy with 5units in AES then with only 4 it should be an open invitation to attack.

    True, about the win part.  But the the battle was 10 pts vs. 10pts, the defender falls into the same miss % at 33% of the time.  I think with 5 units or less you have to hit Egy, assuming you can bring in all 10 pts worth.

    The worst case Allies (rd 1 battle) is a miss and defender hit, and that only happens 22% of the time, because even though I may miss 33% of the time that doesn’t guarantee the defender will hit.  So in reality, it doesn’t pan out only 1/4 of the time or about 25%.

    Again, looking at it from the Allies perspective, I’ll take the shot at Removing Germany from Afr on UK 1 esp if I’ll be successful 75% of the time.

    But your point is sound if this move is iffy with 5units in AES then with only 4 it should be an open invitation to attack.

    Yeah, this was the really important point I was getting at.  Further it is likely G will lose 1 unit on the attack anyway, so you could be looking at only 3 units in Egy to start UK 1.

    But even a 1 to 1 exchange favors Germany b/c the the UK needs that far more than Germany does. and once the battle begins the UK cannot retreat.  More importantly however is the fact that there is a simplier way which does not carry this kind of risk.

    The worst case Allies (rd 1 battle) is a miss and defender hit, and that only happens 22% of the time, because even though I may miss 33% of the time that doesn’t guarantee the defender will hit.  So in reality, it doesn’t pan out only 1/4 of the time or about 25%.

    Again, looking at it from the Allies perspective, I’ll take the shot at Removing Germany from Afr on UK 1 esp if I’ll be successful 75% of the time.

    But like I said you won’t be successful 75% of the time only 66%, and that doesn’t subtract that even doing so doesn’t guarantee you a win.  Even if you can win 4/5 of the 1/3 left this will drop the overall down to below 60% and probably even 55%.  And when you take into account that I believe I can win 80% of my games against this bid I think its a lot of flash and no substance.  The only way to do this was to hit the fleet too which risks almost all of your airforce and is therefore not a good move.

    Yeah, this was the really important point I was getting at.  Further it is likely G will lose 1 unit on the attack anyway, so you could be looking at only 3 units in Egy to start UK 1.

    I would add that one reason why I thought your move was not wise was b/c it left Yak open to attack which isn’t a bad idea.  IMO the only way to defend against a bid of 2unit Asian bid is to either give up Yakut, or to get 8units there.  I will ignore China if it comes to that, or even better is to have bid an armor into Kwan and move 1inf somewhere else.  Once you made your Russian move you were more or less committed to Yakut and therefore not placing your ftr there was an invitation to attack.

    Yeah, my intention was to land the UK ftr there.  I thought you’d do Syr and possibly leave the w med bb.  Which ment I would have reinforced Yak with the UK ftr.

    I’m actually glad you did that move (not because of the outcome or anything like that), because I don’t see that a lot and it is nice to know that I better take into account that move in the future and that good players may indeed bypass Chi.

    I guess, That’s why you play the game.  :-D
