@cts17:
Okay, so the Dardanelles option of being closed is off, so it is open, then?
Correct.
@hobo:
Bidding to play allies? Wow at least for 41, I thought allies got the slight edge already. What’s the concensus for 42? Who has edge?
In both versions, it seems more people feel the Axis have the Adv. With the bigger adv in '41 and a slight adv in '42. I have no idea, I haven’t played enough of either but the consensus here wanted an Allied bid.
Our stats showed Axis with a ~58% when we bid for them last year. I’m guessing a straight up game will give the Axis about a 55-45 adv. Bidding for the Allies? I’m hoping it doesn’t shift and sart giving the Allies a greater than 60% chance.
It shouldn’t take too long for us to get a good read on bids and where placements are going.
And if the Allies start pulling out more then we should see what happen last year in the League, everyone playing straight up games.
In the meantime if you guys are right and strong Allied players have the adv then you can take adv of that and probably get at least a 3-6 bid (perhaps more) and rack up the wins.
