G40 League House Rule project

JWW is not interested in the playoffs.

Without OBG, you’re getting down to 3-12 Billy to round out your 4.  LL is 5-10 and dJensen is 4-10.

Just suck it up and play with the big boys, DM  :lol:

Billy is MIA as well so it’ll be the 4 listed.  LL hasn’t logged on since the 18th so he may be busy as well.  Right now I’ll proceed with both since they are in the rules (people may have played their season based on it.  IE play tons of games.  So I can’t change in the middle of the year).  If they all wish to not participate, then I can play with the others.
I PM’d the effected players to see if they wish to continue should they make the playoffs.  We’ll see.

I should have left some sort of opt out clause in the rules.

The trash talker in me would say the Big Boys play more than the minimum amount of games.  Call me when they play 14-15+ games and win 85% of them.   :-D

Sounds good!

@Gamerman01:

Decided to wait for someone else to answer JWW’s 2 subs to 12 challenge, and I’m glad I did.

who accepted??

This is true but I don’t want to let anyone down either. I don’t want an entire bracket to collapse due to me. I’d be happy to give up my spot to the next excited participant. Let me know.

moving forward…if I play any 41 games I will be playing as the allies. I am sicking of beating everyone up as the axis! It is time for the allies to take a strong stand, with a 12 bid!  :-D

SouL, by answering it.  I didn’t mean someone played it out with you…  :roll:

I’ll give you 2 subs in 12.  AAA or AABM?  Let me know.

That’s it as far as I know.

[gamerman01]

Oops - forgot to re-order the rankings on the last one…
Some places have shifted a little.  Darth edges out Tyzoq for #2, and a few other minor changes have happened

just in case : this was for the playoff of last season.

[gamerman01]

Thanks.  I’ll change it.

Updated

Another Axis victory added to 2012 league

JWW will no doubt need to feel he got fair dice before giving up on his gimmicky 2 sub bid
Save yourself the trouble and believe SouL’s excellent analysis and constructive criticism, JWW  :-)

Updated

Just realized there was a result 10 days ago… on a new results thread so I didn’t get notification… it won’t happen again now that I’ve posted there…

Axis race off to a 2-0 start for '12-'13 with bids of 11 and 14 against them…

Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up… to play the Allies with insufficient bid

Also captured 2 G40 2013 results…

Should we consider outlawing the Russian Bomber bid?

Not sure if anyone has even played it here, but it doesn’t seem like a “fun” game.  Its not a great odds attack.  I think 45% to hit the DD and survive, but if Russia losses the the bom vs. dd battle or both hit (leaving the trns) its probably over for the Allies as that is essentially a no bid game.  And I’d hate to see people using that bid then losing the battle and then surrendering right away.  Seems sort of cheap.

But if we officially outlaw it, maybe we see some bids around 12 or more?

I know I don’t really care to play a game giving 12 if it is just for a bomber, but might under other circumstances.

Thoughts?

[gamerman01]

My opinion is that you don’t need to outlaw a Russian bomber bid.  I have been involved in many games with bid of 12 or more, and no one ever elects a Russian bomber and I’m sure everyone knows about the Z51 attack possibility.  I also don’t think the Axis are dead if the Russian bomber succeeds and the Japs lose 2 transports and a destroyer.  Remember, there would be nothing in Egypt or the Atlantic or Russia’s western front.

That’s exactly what I was thinking and I haven’t seen it here but as 12+ bids possibly become more common I was just wondering if people would try it.  And I wasn’t thinking more about the success but about the failure and then having people quit before round 1 is over.

I think we have a good group of AA50 players so you’re right we are probably okay.  Maybe just something I’ll keep my eye on.

I’m still hesitant to do that.  I know what I’d do with 12, 13, or 14, and I don’t like what I see, so my threshold is still 11 or 12.
