Thx! Enjoyed the game, well played. Dice were unkind to you, especially the AA hits.

It helps. Yes, it’s in the spam. Thank you.

Wow. Axis domination so far this year.
2015 win pct was .544 but
2016 win pct is .584 so farIf you’re playing a master, you’d better have a big bid as the Allies. 27-1, .964 win pct pretty much says it all. Nearly guaranteed - I mean, the dice are gonna give you a win more than 3.6% of the time, right?? :-o
The Axis advantage is showing up in every single tier, except #3, not so much. But there has been a significant number of games played against much higher tiers, and I haven’t taken the time to see if players disproportionately took the Axis in those games
Before you get too excited about the balanced mod actually being balanced, I think the sample size is way too small. A significant number of those games had unbalanced skill/experience on either side of the board, too, I think…. Jury is still out

Too late! Already super excited! 24 games of Balance Mod played so far. 12 Axis victories. 12 Allied victories. Wooohooooooo!

I can’t imagine why anyone is playing without the balanced mod at this point. It’s just overall better, even if it may not be perfectly balanced (which is probably not possible in any case).
-
Yeah, fixes some major beefs
Like China being so easy to conquer. USA being too poor. Adds excitement to Italy, India, and ANZAC…. More money for Russia… MARINES! and tones down the horrible conquer capitals rule - what’s not to like? -
Fully on board, too. It’s just better, plain and simple.
-
Its not possible to drive to two pro-axis neutrals with a mech? Algeria and Morocco in the same turn vichy style
-
I don’t think it would be, since first off, mechs can’t blitz. And blitzing only happens in the Combat move.
-
You can’t “blitz”/“drive” through friendly-neutral territory with a mech or tank on non-combat, even if the friendly neutral territory is unoccupied. You can, of course, blitz through hostile neutral territory if its empty.

With a tank
Kid’s answer is right

I did not actually edit Kid’s reply #162. I was trying to quote it and must have accidentally clicked “modify”. I returned his post to the way it originally was.

OK, great, all 3 playoff games that are still in the first round are still moving…… All at 10 rounds plus… these might be some of the best games? I haven’t looked at any of them - yet, anyway
-
and just like that, i’m finding myself confronted with 3 sea lion games in BM……it’s as if BM is out to prove something :lol:
-
I’ve been doing it more in Balanced Mod games too.
Maybe it’s because without a bid, Italy’s navy sticks around?

It might have something to do with your greedy UK1s :lol:.

never mind, make that only 2 SL games, roboto declined my invitations haha
well i think it’ll be interesting to test SL out in the mod version, see where it takes us. i find SL games particularly fun

If sealion seems more attractive, it may be because Germany’s other options are not necessarily as slam dunk as they once were. Also, J1DOW is not as overpowered. Also, Axis Dominion’s UK is a greedy mofo and had it coming!
-
No bids means danger for Cairo, serious danger.
Maybe many Balanced mod Allies player are investing too much to strengthen the position in Africa / Middle East, which makes Sealion very attractive
-
actually, I think the Axis Dominion game will be my first League BM game involving a sealion. . .

Can anybody remind me how to roll dice in the forum? Thanks
