Thx! Enjoyed the game, well played. Dice were unkind to you, especially the AA hits.
G40 League House Rule project

So neither Yoshi or I would ever attack Z51 with a Russian bomber, nor would we probably ever take a Russian bomber with a bid 12+, for what it’s worth.
If the Allies lose the battle in Z51 without even sinking the destroyer, well then, they’re just back to a zero bid. I for one would certainly not quit even if I did take a Russian bomber bid and cheesily try to sink everything in Z51 and fail. You’re no more doomed than if you are playing straight up no bid…
I think the better question is, should we start requiring Dardanelles closed in 1941 league play!!!? That’s a good way to balance this game and possibly lower the bid close to zero. I think it’s corny that Russia has to worry so much about an Italian/German can opener using the black sea anyway!
Another option is to disallow the building of island complexes, which tends to slow down Japan by giving them less options. I used to play with that house rule (really a Larry rule) along with Dardanelles closed, and it gave AA50 a more balanced feel!

Interesting options, but I think we are probably good for now. I don’t mind higher bids, just wanted to make sure as we get to 12+ people don’t avoid it just b/c they don’t want to see the Russian bomber gambit. I’m not a big fan of the bomber bid, but its good to hear other players like you and Yoshi kind of say the same thing. I think it is far better to get more units on the board and deal with Ger, but always good to hear other thoughts.
Another reason I don’t mind bids or higher bids is it adds a little variety, while some bid placements are better than others there certainly enough good placement options so it at least allows for some different opens.

Fortress is still undefeated. And apparently, the dice are REALLY on his side right now. Dude got 5 1’s for AA fire on UK defense on G2, shooting down 3 tacs and a strat. Play him at your own risk. :wink:
And Jeff is 7-1. Methinks you 2 dudes ought to play each other!!

TWO strat bombers, rather!

Updated with another Jeff28 win
Another 5 or 10 results, and I’ll probably start ranking and doing PPG like with AA50… just for fun and informational purposes…

here it is
Are Jeff and Fortress really that good, or are they just preying on inexperienced players and/or getting lucky? I don’t know. Time will tell. :-)

I said it over on the results page – anybody can look like a good player when all of the bombers are lined up in smoldering heaps on the ground… Sometimes a solid move isn’t rewarded with dice, and sometimes it is. Like you said, Gamer, sometimes the dice are going to determine the winner and there’s not a whole lot you can do about it.

I should be playing craps, not Global with dice this hot. What a waste.

Yep, could be making big bucks fast, the easy way

Jeez, was AA50 ever this popular on this site?
Another result to update
G40 on tripleA is red hot - come where the action is men!
