To get Billy to play me I had to agree to 4 as Allies or 15 as Axis
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.
he crushed me with dice to write home about. ALL GAME LONG

Yeah, I saw you guys saying that when looking up your game to get the bid from it.

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 bomberI’d love to discuss this (bids in general). Not sure if another thread in AA50 would be worth it???
I’d agree that bids for the Allies have been too low. And while a bomber in Bry could be initally scary. I have no doubt placing 3-4 units is better.
G1 can be deadly! I’ve moved to the much more agressive G1 (regardless of opponent) of hitting Sz 6, Sz 2, Sz 9, and Sz 12 if there are no Russian units bid. It can be crippling to the Allies. Germany just has free range to go hard after Moscow if they sink both trns. At that point Japan can just be extremely conservative and simply stay alive.
And even a failure in Sz 2 or 9 (or both) can be overcome which makes it worth the risk IMO.

Yeah, if you set up the thread, just let me know and/or provide a link - that is a great subject for a thread

Thread started.
I started with bomber bids, but all bid topics are open.

Updated
Axis v. Allies not updated since OBG’s result was after only 7 rounds and TUV was comparable. cts17 pulled one of his disappearing acts and OBG rightfully called it early
Note that OBG was Axis :-)

Updated again - decided to call the game at long last
DM’s 9-1 with 1.4 PPG is looking quite impressive
OBG at 14-4 and .83 PPG appears to be much improved over 2011Both are looking to star in the “Major” Playoff?? Certainly well on their way. They might have to contend with Billy or even Dave Jensen?, who’re also on their way to finishing 14 games :-) They’re flying under the radar, but in single elimination, anything could happen.
