G40 League House Rule project

    @Gamerman01:

    In fact, Eggman (continuing discussion from post results thread),

    If I exclude you, the Allies are 50-43.  A .538 winning percentage.

    How many games have you played past 3 or 4 rounds?  Just wondering.

    Clearly, several: namely every game that I won.  When you fully analyze the data (on everybody), you’ll need to have lots more breakdowns- including the win ratio for games taking place only in the same tier.  There seems to be some agreement that the Allies are more favored if the Axis player is inexperienced, which certainly fits with my own personal data- everyone I’ve defeated is ranked below me.

    And I would also exclude tech games from the data since it is so unbalancing.  I’m very disappointed that allweneedislove is just playing tech games with you so far, I would have preferred that if he lost it happened in a real game.  As far as I’m concerned his record is still unblemished… but tech is a different topic altogether.

    eggman, what the heck are you talking about?  i’m starting to wonder if you are related to Cow because i can’t understand much of what you are saying?  :lol:


  • Eggman, you outsmart yourself

    He’s not nearly as good as you think he is.  Shall I stop buying tech now, just for you?  I’ve wasted 20 IPC’s so far, so that would be quite a handicap.

    please do it, if ONLY to silence the egg


  • Allweneed was thoroughly outplayed and tech had nothing to do with it
    We’ll see how his record looks at the end of the year.

    My opinion isn’t relevant, his record speaks for itself.  Your comment about the expense reveals why you can’t really evaluate the results on a game where tech was allowed to skew the outcome.  If you spend little on tech and get it, you should expect to win since tech has no counter except luck.  If you spend a lot on tech and get nothing, you would probably expect to lose since in hindsight it would seem obvious that the money would have been better spent on units.

    If you continue to spend money on tech in your second game v. love and fail to get a major one (some are clearly far less useful than others - I’m looking at you, War Bonds!) and still manage to win, then I’ll be impressed (not that this matters) and will eat a virtual hat or what have you.


  • Disagree about your “no counter to tech” and we’ll leave it at that.

    I enjoy playing with tech because it adds another dimension to the game, and obviously allweneed enjoys worrying about it and/or watching me waste my money and is willing to deal with the consequences if I hit a major one

    The 2nd game is a good one so far - you may want to check it out

    alexgreat should be tier 1 gamer.  he’s on the Ancients with Me1945.

    After 3 completed games you will have a ranking  :-)
    And red print, and bigger, non-italicized font

    If that’s not incentive to finish 3 games, I don’t know what is  :wink:


  • @Boldfresh:

    I thought about it, but it only affects MostHoly by 1 point

    If you think he’s tier one based on your play with him, I’ll change him.

    Egg, Allweneedislove left Berlin wide open and undefended and I had to point it out for him to change his noncoms so that UK wouldn’t just walk in on about the 4th round.
    He lost that game badly and tech had absolutely nothing to do with it.

    Now that he’s completely reversed his earlier, adamant, stance (and long-winded thread) that tanks are a waste of money and bought them en masse with Germany on round 1 and round 2, he will probably take Moscow early, but it remains to be seen whether he can win the game.  And I threw away 5 IPC’s on R1 on tech to boot.

    Find someone else to worship.

    So does yours.  It says we really shouldn’t pay much attention to anything you have to say regarding strategy.

    Sorry - truth hurts


  • Updated

    Changed Allies vs. Axis tally at far right

    I now have a total by tier, of Allied vs. Axis results, with the grand total at the bottom.

    Over all, the Allies are 57-53

    .518 win pct

    Please welcome our newest ranked player, Snake eyes, weighing in right now at #15
    There are now 27 players who are ranked (have completed 3 games)

    At some point, maybe half way through the season, I may up the minimum count of games for rankings, maybe from 3 to 5 or something, because of the over all relative volume of games.  Not that it matters
