also, I don’t think it’d be too hard to take Berlin, if I were to crash the Russians in and then easily wipe what’s left with the US/UK. in fact I have a 56% chance of actually taking it with Russia alone, with only an average tuv loss of 18%, which seems very acceptable to me. but even if it were worse, I might still go for it lol. I might lose some pretty valuable Russian advanced units, to be sure, but having Berlin looted would be a pretty hard blow imo. that’s a whopping 56 income gained for allies, and Germany losing out on being able to build for turn. plus your major would shrink down to a minor, etc. and moscow would still be pretty safe thanks to allied air that can reach and guard. so I’m not really sure what you’re trying to do here tbh.
Just a desperate last attempt. You win. Great work. I feel humiliated.
I’d be happy to play with you again as Axis. Perhaps not with 30, but a higher bid. Perhaps midway? I’m no challenge whatsoever to you otherwise, is my humble opinion.
You don’t do simple mistakes. I do plenty. You generously let me redo a hefty lot of them as well.
I guess that the bid of 8-9 to Allies regarding the masters opinion that you refered to is simply in games between masters.

great game, and please don’t be humiliated! firstly, this was your first bm game, whereas I have probably at least a 100 under my belt, so I am way more experienced! and when you count all my days in global vanilla, revised, and classic, I’m one of the most experienced around. but even now I am still learning more about the game, and we are all here to learn from each other all the while HOPEFULLY having fun in the process.
I can already see you really get the game, you are definitely someone I would NOT want to take for granted, it’s just that I see you’re making mistakes here and there. I’m willing to bet that’s more from playing your turns too quickly and probably squeezing them in between whatever events you have in your day (lunch break, early morning before school/work, etc.). I know how that works, cuz I used to do that a lot too, and while my experience allowed me to get away with that without making too many mistakes, I did nonetheless make mistakes and also did not enjoy the game as much. so my first advice to you is, SLOW DOWN, especially against any E or M level player.
Given what I said above, I do not feel a higher bid will fix or compensate for the hurried play. I guess it would more help with your comparative inexperience, but again, I can already see your skill and talent, even through all the mistakes. therefore I believe it’ll be better for your longterm growth in the game to take a little beating up front in some of these master or elite level matches, which if your morale can survive that, will only make you come out that much stronger.
I am willing to compromise, however, and up the bid to 5 this time around, especially considering that axis definitely does seem to have the advantage in bm3. Now, if you end up getting another big beating, we can look at inching it up to 7 the next time, and so on. I just don’t feel too comfortable jumping to giving axis too high of a bid, considering what I can already see in your potential, and all that I know about balance mod.
let me know if you’re good with that, and if so, you may go ahead and start a new game thread for us.
Thank you for your appreciative words! Despite all the frustration I really enjoyed our game as well as your gentle attitude.
I definitely do not want an auto win, like a 100 bid, but from my horizon it was evident that you have a much more deep and clear understanding of the game. I could see that you effectively countered all my plans and efforts, while I failed to do so several times. Even in the last situation it was not evident for me how bad it all was, while you analyzed it easily.
I’m afraid that a bid of 5 is too slight for me to give you a match. I think I might be up to perhaps 20-30 games now in total. Still a noob, albeit analythical and nerdy. I could try this again with 2 subs, making the opening a bit easier. But that’s a bid of 12, so I guess it’s off the table.

I think highest I am willing against you right now is 6 to your axis, which would give you a sub at least! it’s for your own good I don’t give you too high of a bid right away!

Lol, ok, let me finish some games though so I can focus better. I’ll get back to you.

yep, no rush! I am gone for the next five days anyway, and I have a lot of games cooking now. I just kicked one off with kmsckay, and my game with farmboy will start next weekend. both are sharp players, so I’ll be pretty busy anyway.
when you are feeling ready to rematch me, just hit me up.
