2013 - AAG 40 League

Infrastructure over bmnielsen in the T2 playoffs. Allowing sealion and losing my Atlantic fleet to an overseen can opener pretty much doomed me, but I think I managed to keep it exciting to the end!

Indeed!

A very excellent game,  Very tight play by an excellent player bm!  It took all I had, that was for sure!

@Infrastructure:

havent herard from him this week.

[gamerman01]

I’m going to message him, asking if he wants to play or not.  Last chance.

[gamerman01]

Never mind, I looked at his recent posts and it appears you guys have started your game.

[hobo]

well my opponent has gone mia for a couple months now in our playoff game and now gamerman is finished with his game so I request something be done with my game.

[boldfresh]

Calling the cmdr.

I PM’ed Gamerman already.

Sorry, just got my internet back last night (late) and now I’m home sick.  Posting in-between naps right now, trying to get re-caught up.

[gamerman01]

@Cmdr:

but I would definitely say if it’s been 6 weeks for one player waiting for the other, then the other player has forfeited.

OK, Hobo, congratulations on reaching the finals - we should start bidding

Rolling a d6, even number, Hobo bids first
Odd number, I bid first

Rolling 1:
(4)

[gamerman01]

Awaiting your bid

Here’s to a fun game for both

[Jennifer]

whoa now!  No one said it could be a FUN game!  No fun!  :evil:

[gamerman01]

OK, I have made some improvements to the league standings spreadsheet.

Now, as we had last year, we have Axis win pct and Allies win pct by tier (PPG)
Also, individual player’s axis and allies results are presented more clearly, along with individual win pct with axis and with allies.

Analysis:
Overall the Allies have had more wins than the Axis ALL YEAR, BUT -

Tier 1 players are having more success with the AXIS, even more success than last year!
Tier 2 players are having more success with the AXIS than the Allies.  MrRoboto singlehandedly skews these results with 20 Allied wins over weaker players (except Stalingradski), but Roboto also has 3 Axis wins over Karl, and Karl favors the Allies (although even Karl has a higher win % with Axis)
Tier 3 players are having the same results with Axis and with Allies.
Tier 4 players are the reason that the Allied win percent is higher than the Axis overall.  They are 2-37 with Axis and 4-18 as Allies.  Most of the 37 losses were at the hands of tier 1 and tier 2 players, while the average PPG of opponents who gave them the 18 losses as Allies were clearly not as high.

Conclusion:
With current bidding amounts, the Axis still have a significant edge.  We are bidding a bit too low as Allies.
