I have picked @mikawagunichi’s brain quite a bit and played live with him. @crockett36 fancy playing this team round with me?

@axis-dominion Are those 9 games of PtV in the league the only ones of that version you’ve played?
As we all know, the game plays a lot different than the others. You are probably still on the learning curve on that version? We don’t even know where you’ll level out in PtV.
I’ll just believe you that the dice went against you the whole game. But just (being much more measured than our very own @Gargantua of course) consider that you weren’t in your favorite playground (Balanced Mod by FAR) and that all that experience with OOB and BM may work against you. With the caveat that I don’t know how those first 8 games went, but you did lose 3.
So like my overall rating plummeted from an off game of Classic, similarly your overall #1 status is jeopardized no matter WHO you play - in PTV.

Guess that’s a downside of the ELO based system. In the old system, you could only lose 4 points divided by your number of games. At least you know exactly how many points you have put at stake when you start the game.
Checking the results tab, you’re 3 and 2 this year. Assuming that is against 4 M players and 1 tier 1 player, that would be 5.1 avg points. I think that would tier E, which is also where you are on the ELO system.
I reckon just a few more games and maybe it will average out. I would hope so.

@axis-dominion Love all of this dialogue here!If you’re formally resigning the game, happy to re-do that battle with LL on (for that battle), and see where it takes us. I’m new to the Forum, of course, and very new to PTV, but I’ve been playing BM for many years, and I really like the PTV map. Happy to put my

@axis-dominion … happy to put my theory to the test. Shall we do this?

By posting here, I think @axis-domination DID resign the game - did I miss something? Most people post something like “so-and-so wins, will played”, but it seems in the heat of the moment this did not occur. :)
BTW, here are the entire dice stats. The TOTAL dice rolls look entire fair. However the distribution for Axis rolls is skewed slightly lower, and Allies slightly higher. What can you do - it’s a random number generator, given enough rolls it will start to look fair for each power, but will vary slightly with low sample size.

@axis-dominion I got lucky that battle, no question. But the Sea Lion you complained so much about was a 97% battle in my favour. I was sure enough about winning it that I diverted a bomber to try to knock out the seaport at Gibraltar (which you shot down with your AA - your own luck). Frankly, I’d have readily traded the above-par result (~20 TUV above odds) in London for damaging that port any day. It allowed USA to threaten Germany and Italy at the same time for the rest of the game, which was huge. Far more than an extra couple of fighters.
You also got your own luck in plenty of battles, but I didn’t want to rub salt in the wound. The nature of the game is that one has to take risks - calculated risks - to win, and that’s what I did. But that final battle wasn’t a hail mary - it was a tactical choice to hobble the threat of the Russian/US advance in Eastern Europe.

@axis-dominion Ready when you are.

@Booper Unfortunately, total dice rolled throughout the game is misleading at best. So many of them had zero effect but are counted in Triple A stats. And even if they weren’t, the timing and place of the dice are what matter.
-
Understood, but it goes to the overall fairness of the random dice generator, which seems to be operating fine.
-
Ah! Yes.
No disrespect was meant. Thanks for clarifying

sorry i had stepped away, then fell asleep for a bit
yeah let’s do it. should be fun. game is recorded, so no effect on result, but we can continue on the thread.
take it away!

@axis-dominion Love it. Always seems a shame when a good match-up gets ruined by a brutal dicing. Happy to play this one out!

agreed, i was enjoying the game despite being behind a lot, felt allies at least had a chance.

Sleep on it realization:
Other than @Adam514 , every one of us has to admit we don’t know what it’s like to reach the mesosphere of 2200+
We’re a bit of a peanut gallery. Well, more than a bit.
-
yeah adam and i keep swapping seats up there. since i’ve transitioned to ptv i am still figuring it out, and in the process i haven’t been able to progress to 2300 and beyond.
-
the other factor being that it’s hard to make large gains once you’re up there
-
and one bad dicing causes a rather large drop…
-
so if i were to play 666 who’s the top E-ranker and win, i’d gain like 2 or 3 points. if i were to lose, i’d drop 29 or 30.
stakes are like an order of magnitude greater if i were to lose.
fun.
-
It’s kind of a bell curve, right? Yes, you get way up there in rare air, it’s hard to stay up. Did you want me to create tier D, then?

That’s a big part of it, I suspect! You’re not 2200 dominant in PtV yet. You have a heel that wasn’t covered
