Thx!

For the 2012 league, Axis are 25-12, so Axis is winning more than 2 out of 3 times even with the bids that average around 9
Bold upgraded to tier 1 as his PPG passes my .5 threshhold for tier 1. Zhukov and SouL’s points edited accordingly.

Darth is tier 1 at .44 because he has been winning a lot over the past year or so, whereas before that he was getting back into playing Anniversary and was early on the learning curve

hold the phones on that result, there’s still a .01% chance the americans will take Japan this round, then it’s a whole new ballgame!! :-P
Thanks - I can change it if you guys post a different result

Bids have averaged 8 or 9 IPC’s in both 2012 league and 2011 tournament play.
Axis win percentage is 68.4% in the 2011 tournament (13-6)
Axis win percentage is 69.2% in the 2012 league so far (27-12)
That’s 58 game results, and the Axis are consistently winning more than 2 out of 3 games. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions. Just factually summarizing the stats for ya

my gut feeling is we will see this normalize closer to 55-60 percent over the rest of this year and the bid average creep up to 9-10. looking like the right bid is somewhere between 10-12 for evenly matched players.
Yes… thanks for the feedback
I agree that it takes at least 10 or 11 for evenly matched players. I don’t go lower than 11 anymore unless I feel like taking the Allies and I think that I will still win (that is if I think I’m better than my opponent). If I am starting the bidding, I’m finding myself starting at 12 or 11 to deny my opponent that bid, and if he takes 11 or 10 I will let him have it.
It’s very interesting to keep track of Axis vs. Allies as the results come in, and it will be interesting to see what the future holds. It takes dozens of results to even think about drawing any conclusions, so I’m eager to see what the next couple dozen results show.

If the bomber were disallowed as a bid–I wouldn’t be shocked to see it get up to between 12-14.

I actually don’t mind giving up a bomber bid. I know about the bomber on Bry to Z51 gimmick, but that has a pretty good chance of failing, too. If someone has a bid under 15 and they take a bomber, that means no units to Egypt or anywhere else, too. I think multiple lower cost units in places that are critical and hard to get to are a better bang for your bucks. I don’t want to get into a big discussion about bids here, though - there are other threads for that…. Just couldn’t resist replying on the bomber bid :-)
Stats - Bomber vs. destroyer and 2 transports - 57% chance of sinking everything
28.6% chance of sinking destroyer only, and losing the bomber
14.3% chance of sinking NOTHING and losing the bomber
Updated with 3 more results
Axis wins in Tournament championship game, giving Axis a 70% winning percentage in the 2011 tournament, with one game to play.
2 more results
2 more Axis wins
Axis are at .696 in league and .700 in tournament play, and that’s with bids
Apparently most people are bidding too low! Don’t be a hero! The Allies need help!
to get the allies against mojo i had to go to -1 :-D
I know what you mean.
To get Billy to play me I had to agree to 4 as Allies or 15 as Axis
I think with 65+ results these things would even out…. Sometimes better players take Axis, sometimes Allies…
But it is interesting the Axis are persistently winning 70% of games with average bids of 8-9.

And he proceeded to lose 6 fighter planes on G1 and J1 - just another example of how first round dice is much, much more deciding than any puny little bid.
