MiamiUMike (Axis) defeats Eggman (Allies +3).

USA overplayed its hand and lost two successive fleets; even with this, Japan was still booted from most of Asia.

Ziggurat (Axis) defeats Eggman (Allies +3).

Strong German opening seemed to call for KGF, but I really wanted to hit Japan instead.  Plus a defenseless Japanese transport off the coast of Australia annoyed me to no end and was begging for an attack.  The moral of the story; don’t let your emotions run the game!

Jeff28 (Axis) over Eggman (Allies +6)

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=29646.0

Decided to try and see if the northern route would work against Japan, but it doesn’t, really.  If you don’t make it dangerous for Japan to hit the DEI then they can make the Pacific a death trap for American fleets.

If Fortress comes back, I would like to resume the game. Was quite fun, I think we lost something like 30 planes combined.

@Boldfresh:

hey egg, allies +6 isn’t your cup o tea it would appear…  :|

It’s not the bid, it’s the game.  I made a post a while ago saying it seemed like the game was weighted for the Allies.  That was after playing the game with local friends who also knew nothing at all about it.  Now that I see how things usually go, I’m on the side of feeling the game is un-winnable as the Allies unless the Axis side has the weaker player(s).

Sure I could keep trying with higher and higher bids, but I don’t find it that satisfying to win when your opponent has a huge handicap.

but are you not stating that the allies are handicapped?  so that is the point of a bid, to even the playing field.

@Eggman:

Yeah, dude, the point of bidding is to make the game 50/50.  Even if it’s a high amount, it’s not a “handicap”.  You or your opponent just agreed to what you think is fair…  You and your opponent are just essentially saying that the maker of the game failed to make it a 50/50 game with the starting setup, and your modification (bid) makes it closer to 50/50…

So like Bold said - giving the Allies extra units is REMOVING the handicap, not creating a new one…  :wink:

Interestingly, the latest tweak (2nd edition) REMOVED a UK infantry from Egypt!  Larry must not think the Allies are disadvantaged!
