@DoManMacgee I reckon you post this on BGG as well mate. Might as well cover as many places as possible to keep Revised at WBC alive.

@Private-Panic nice report mate. What turn did the game get called in 1914? Was there a bid?

@Corpo24 nice mate. Sounds like a good day. Anyone put together any session reports for the games of AAA games played?

@djensen how was the turn out for the event. Is there going to be a session report etc for the day?

@Private-Panic Hey Mate, what rule set will be used for 1914? Thanks

Re: Axis & Allies at ORIGINS & GEN CON 2018

Hey Guys,

I am looking for any results from either Origins and/or Gen Con for 1914, specifically Bid Amounts, How many turns a game lasted, victors and bid placements.

Any information anyone could provide would be awesome.

Thanks Heaps

Thanks mate.

I think the set up from the FAQ was what I was thinking of. After posting I also found Saburo Sakai’s recommendation of using the OOB set up, 24 VPs for Japanese Victory and giving the Allies an extra 12-16 IPCs to spend on turn one.

My group hasn’t had many plays of this version and to keep it in rotation keeping it as balanced as possible is a priority.

Hey Guys,

When playing competitively and using the OOB set up, what bid/bid range do people believe the Allies need to balance this game?

Alternatively was there a set up variant which balanced the game where no bid was used?

Thanks heaps, hoping to brush the dust off this version as it is one of my favourites.

@Slip:

Maybe go 2 infantry if you are going to do it by amount of units not cost of units. We tried a bid of 9 (3 inf were placed) and the axis got steam rolled each time.

So your saying with fortune cards not in game Allies win 40% of the time without 2 inf but 60% with the 2 inf bid?

Negative. I am saying a bid of 6 where the allies placed 2 inf resulted in balanced matches whereas a bid of 9 where the Allies placed 3 infantry lead to strong allied victories.

Obviously, skill, dice and players use of the tactics cards all contribute to the end game result however if you are using a bid for the first time I am just making the suggestion that a bid of 6-7 is a good starting point. That way your group can play a few games and work out if you need more or less.
