Has anyone tabulated the league game results to find out what % of games the Axis or Allies win in BM3 for a certain time period? I say BM3, because usually there’s no bid, whereas G40 results could be affected by different bid amounts. How about any other tabulation of results?

In 2018 it was 55% Axis victories on Balanced Mod, with varying bids. Interestingly, in 2017 it was 47% Axis. These figures are in the spreadsheet for prior years. There’s definitely a trend of increasing Axis victories and bids are increasingly going to the allies in increasing amounts.

I think I have asked this question before but have forgotten the answer and can’t find the thread where it came up. To load transports in a combat move you must attempt to land the loaded units in the combat move. If this applies to Marines, then they cannot be loaded onto a cruiser or battleship that goes off into naval combat unless they also make an amphibious assault. I can’t NCM the marines onto the ships, make a combat move with the ships and then just leave the marines on the ships right?

[Adam514]

You cannot.

[gamerman01]

@farmboy You mean noncombat move marines onto ships one turn, and then on the next turn, make a combat move with those ships leaving the marines on the ships?

I would think you could do that, yes. I haven’t played for awhile and Adam is one of the architects of the Balanced Mod game, but I’m wondering if Adam wasn’t clear exactly on what you were asking.

[Adam514]

@gamerman01 It looks like it’s during the same turn.

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 Yeah, my question was specifically about whether I could use a cruiser to load a marine before sending the cruiser into combat and where there is no combat landing by the marine.

Are forum dice set up again? If so, is there a link that explains how?

No, they are not.

As a workaround you can use the “Roll Dice” feature at any time during the game:

Those rolls are emailed in case MARTI is the dice roller used for that game.

[farmboy]

@Panther Thanks!.

[majikforce]

Anyone having issues with receiving MARTI dice rolls? Some games I don’t get any rolls other games I get some of the rolls and they show up over the next day or two.

[OwenToo]

I got the USA rolls from yesterday morning for our game…

[farmboy]

@majikforce I haven’t had a problem lately but it has happened to me before where the rolls are delayed. I’ve also had it happen twice where the game has changed the email to that of another player (either sometime else that I’m playing it someone else that my opponent is playing. So it can be worth checking if the dice emails are right.

[simon33]

Sometimes they go into the junk email folder. Although that wouldn’t explain delayed emails I wouldn’t have thought.

glitch in the matrix??? and this after a restart graciously allowed by ksmckay due to getting diced so hard the first time around to where I only had a tank survive!!!

NOTHING like this has ever ever happened to me in France, ever!

[axis-dominion]

and btw, I had sent TWO tacs this time around, because of the result first time around. one of those tacs got shot down

[majikforce]

@axis-dominion Whoa! That is hardcore. I’ve had some bad beats in France but never like this. Its like the double rainbow for an allied player. Its too beautiful to look at! ksmckay MUST be the chosen one!

[dawgoneit]

@majikforce has the tournament started up yet?

what the fu…

AD, that’s atrocious!

[farmboy]

Has there been any thought in the past for allowing games to end as a tie but where points are still counted for league play? Would that be an option as a league rule going forward?

I thought one option could be that after 20 turns, if both players agree, a tie can be declared and the points allocated would be = to a win minus 2. So if you draw tier m you get 6 points and if you draw tier 2 you get 3 points.

I have some self interest in suggesting this. Oysteilo and I have a game that is about to reach 40 turns, that we both find quite difficult to play, and which is still at least a few turns away from someone being clearly able to win. But I think we would both prefer the effort not to have gone to waste since we have been playing this game for more than a year.
