Doesn’t help when Germany can’t take France.  :cry:

[variance]

Shin Ji beat variance (allies +12).

Allies quit in round 27.  Egypt holding for the moment but Germany just too strong, millions of unstoppable bombers.

KnownSoldier over Karl7 Allies

12 bid is starting to look too low for allies.  I am losing all across the board on that bid.  Axis play is reaching new heights of intensity.  This league is gong to end on a low note for me!  I might even hit level 3!  :-P

[gamerman01]

You’re right, Karl, 12 is too low (especially assuming limit of 1 per TT).
Looks like 18-20 is more like it?

[gamerman01]

Actually, your PPG is going UP for that loss.  Because you lost to well-known before, and because this loss puts him in tier 1.  So you get 2 points for losing to a tier 1, plus a point for playing him before, makes 3 points, which increases your average…  :lol:

Roboto (Allies) over Juan

Strong game by Roboto, to me, Roboto should be a solidly ranked Tier 1.

[gamerman01]

You can rematch!  You guys can play up to best of 11, first to 6 wins  :-)

[wheatbeer]

After playing a remarkable 60+ matches each, I am sure both Roboto and Juan will be higher ranked next season  :-)

[gamerman01]

Time will tell, that’s for sure

[Gargantua]

I’d like to say I taught Roboto everything he knows, ;)

“I say gg, you did very well again. You do little to no mistakes with your experience and I learned some nice strategies from you.”

But he’s playing so many games since our first few back in the day… who knows.

It seems his Blowboto days are over!

Do I hear a rematch in the wind?  Who wants to see one??!?!?!

[MrRoboto]

Oh my…

You totally smashed me back then :-) And while I truly have improved a lot ever since, chances are you’re still gonna win against me, since I am still not on par with the Tier1’s in this league.

But I’d love to play a rematch. If it’s a league game! Who wants to see Garg in the league??!?!?!

Karl over Mallery29…

…I wish I had more time to see this to the end…I wasn’t going to win, but I’m running out of time…well played sir!

Make a bid!

[Gargantua]

Of interest…

The win constitution of the top 9 players in the league:

30 Allied Wins
72 Axis Wins

The loss constitution of the top 8 players in the league:

14 Allied Losses
20 Axis Losses

The top 9 players in the league have played
92 games as Axis  (Winning 78%)
44 games as Allies (Winning 68%)

CONCLUSION:
At first I wanted to jump to the conclusion that the Axis were simply stronger at setup.
but now I wonder…

Are the Axis better because the top players play them more often?  Or are the top players better because they choose to take the Axis side more often?

Which matters more? The setup or the player?  Maybe League 2015 has a stipulation that you should play some games for each side?  Like if you play a 2nd game against an opponent, that you switch the bid inversely and play?

Just food for thought.
