G18L - variance (allies+24) vs Tizkit

[variance]

The bid system is one way to do it.  I think for this year I will only play an elite or master ranked player if I am allies and I get a bid of $50.  I prefer standard rules to bal mod

[Tizkit]

So how do most people do their bids?  I mean for us I just let you pick it because I don’t really know what’s normal, but I thought it would be more of a back and forth until one player won’t go any lower.  (that or a blind draw where you both pick a number and the lowest takes allies)

So if you said 50 bid for Allies, wouldn’t the Master/Elite player just underbid that?

I’m thinking it would be nice to have the handicap be separate from the bid… so the lower rank player takes bid+handicap if they get allies and the higher rank player takes bid-handicap if they take allies.

So if a standard bid is 24, and you’d play a masters player for 50, then the handicap would be 26.  Meaning you take allies for 24+26=50 or the Masters player takes allies for 24-26=-2.

Would you take axis against an elite/master player with an axis bid of 2?

[variance]

Yes its usually a back and forth until someone agrees to be allies for the lowest price.  That’s fine if the players are about equal in skill.  In my case I am certain to lose and basically have a lousy experience everytime I play a top player.  Its just not fun and it feels pointless.  So from now on I won’t play those guys unless I get $50 and i am allies. If they don;t want to agre to that they can go pick on someone their own size

BTW your point about how skewed the ranking are is well taken.  I just posted my first 6 games for 2018.  I won 4 of the 6 games and I wind up with a ranking of tier 2  :?

[Tizkit]

Yeah you have a couple losses against new players which is no good.  At least it looks like when I get ranked it should boost your score.  Apparently I’m in the elite group right now. Ha.

[variance]

congratulations!  :-)

[Tizkit]

Yeah, that didn’t go so hot for the Yanks.  I’m surprised you sent in the UK though… was expecting a Gibraltar airbase.

Let me know if you want to submerge the subs and casualty orders for my sub/air hits.

[variance]

yeah I was thinking of the airbase, but then I decided to gamble.  Was hoping to kill some planes

no submerge, max defense

[Tizkit]

Hmm…

Ok so it made me pick casualties for my sub fire first which I got 1 hit.  I put it on the AC to max defense…

Then I got 3 air hits, but I had to select the destroyer/AC/Fighter leaving you with subs and transports.

By the rules though shouldn’t you get to see all the hits before you select casualties?  It’s weird that it forces you to select for the sub fire when I didn’t get surprise strike.

So for 4x hits would you select anything different? Leave the fighter and take the US sub perhaps?

[variance]

yes I think that’s a triplea glitch.  I will keep the sub if that’s ok
