@Gamerman01:

Well, this is why I track Axis vs. Allied play, by player.

Perhaps we have a few players who are just a lot better at playing one side than the other.  Or several players.

Let’s look:

Stalingradski  Axis 4-0   Allies 0-2
Ziggurat        Axis 6-0  Allies 3-4
Wheatbeer    Axis 10-5 Allies 0-2
Snake11eyes Axis 5-2   Allies 3-5
JWW            Axis 5-2   Allies 2-7
Eggman        Axis 0-0   Allies 7-13
Variance       Axis 3-4   Allies 1-6

Most everyone else has a roughly comparable record taking Axis or Allies
I think the answer lies in the answer to this question:

Do the above players’ experiences demonstrate that there is a significant Axis advantage, or are the above players just a lot more effective at playing the Axis than the Allies?  Probably some of both.

I think Eggman would say that the Axis have a big advantage, but he hasn’t played as Axis in league.  If he played 20 games as Axis, then we could talk.

Yes, my guess/opinion is that overall, it’s easier for the relatively inexperienced G40 player to win with the 3 Axis powers.  Playing the Allies in G40 is very different than any previous Axis and Allies challenge/experience.  I agree with Bold that on the whole, players are not playing the Allies as effectively as they are the Axis.

About a month ago, the record between Axis and Allies was almost tied.  Axis have been on a run lately.  We’ll see what happens in the future - it’s interesting.

excellent breakdown gamerman. nice to see some of the anomalies broken out.

i also liked reading your allied points, but wish you would not put it in this thread to be buried and lost. this should be in its own thread, in the global section for all to see.(i would like to comment on it but dont want to take this thread off topic)

Thanks, Allweneed

You can certainly copy it and start a discussion thread in G40 so you can comment on it there, if you like
Let me know if you do

Whoops, sorry.  These last three aren’t quite so much losses as I just can’t finish the games for personal reasons.

[gamerman01]

Aw……
Crap

Sorry to hear that

[gamerman01]

Incredibly, with those 3 results none of the 4 players involved moved up or down

Thanks, but I’m not even trying to keep that up to date.  Once in a while I’ll go through the league boards and see who’s playing who

Thanks anyway,
Happy gaming

Gamerman - the updated standings show you and I with a green box showing that we have a current game, which of course we don’t  :-)

It also shows ME1945 with a green box when cross referencing my name, and I don’t have a game with him going either.

My current games are with Boldfresh, Hank 13. tcnance, and two against Infrastructure.

Thank you sir ~

[gamerman01]

Thanks

I’m playing Infrastructure
I get you guys mixed up
