Hi Ichabod,

Thanks for the game the other night.  I got steam rolled.   I don’t see how to stop that, a 30 bid maybe  

I do fine with Axis, only lost twice. Lost to a guy named Dust, best player I ever met. He is either a genius or has no life, maybe both  :lol:

I get pwned as Allies, won once.

I am like 1-9 as Allies
5-2 as Axis

I noticed people who dominate as Axis declare War early on Everyone.  Waiting just makes the Allies stronger.  Last 5 Games Germans have all declared War on Russia by start of Turn 2.  Japn often on turn 1 have declared war on everybody.

I have lots to learn about Allies.

My experiences so far….

1. Played 6 Games, online.  Axis won them all.  Hmmm…  I am 3-3.  Two players were ringers and schooled me, hard.  Learned the most from them.

2. All my victories have been with Axis.  All my losses with Allies. Allied bids have been around 10-13.  They have not meant squat.  Granted, this is a small sample size and maybe my skill with the allies is just not there yet.

3. I suspect allies will lose a lot, even securing an 18-21 bid. Nobody has gotten a bid so high, yet.

4. One dominant strategy is driving the Axis victories…How to defend against it?  Not sure…

Playing online now.  Download Triple A.

Zhukov….Bid units?  Elaborate, please.  What would be a typical bid?

I am game.

I have only played the AI a handful of times.  Not sure about game balance or bids or any of that.

Willing to play Allies.

Old school AA player just getting back into playing.  Downloaded Triple A and love it!
Played a few games verse the Hard AI and feel like I am ready to take on some humans.

Back in the day Bids were big part of game leveling and keeping it fresh. Good Axis players would often go negative on the bid, but positive bids for the Axis were the norm.

What is typical for a Global 1940 game verse humans?  Bids play into the side selections at all?

Who do you think is favored in G 40 game?  I am not sure who is favored, I have not played enough.

What would be a good bid?  Want a competitive game.

Thanks!
