The pie chart of how many games of each version are played is also updated, to show the past 18 months rather than all-time. What are league players playing these days? Go to the statistics tab.

I finally figured out some of MrRoboto’s charts and statistics in his statistics tab of the ELO rankings spreadsheet.

I changed the range of data to 1/1/24 - 6/30/25 to get the last year and a half’s snapshot.

Statistics like this can be very misleading, especially since these are just a composite of all games that have been finished since 1/1/24 and they are just averages.

Occasionally a bid amount is unknown and is in as a zero. Regardless, average OOB bids have been approximately 46 over the past 18 months, and Axis win percentage is 64.94%.

When you get much above 30 or 40, with current bid rules you can get very gamey starts like the Russian fighters to Yunnan bid. Since 46 is apparently not nearly enough ( @AndrewAAGamer gets his huge “I told you so” here) I recommend you consider more agreed-upon scenarios or starting situations. As opposed to - placing a 90 bid however way you want. Andrew posited an interesting mod that includes stiffer resistance for India and China, and a bigger income shot to USA when she gets in the war, to lean more towards history and game balance at the same time.

46 bids. 65% Axis winning. Broad conglomeration of players, newbies to decades-long aces. You decide what you want. Perhaps use the “Player history search” function to look at the better players and do your own research. This is a pretty shocking result, assuming I didn’t make a big mistake.

@peirce said in L25 OOB Peirce (+34) v Gamerman01:

@gamerman01 Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Japan turn go so perfectly. Was a good move, but Allies got catastrophic dice all around. Going to be tough going.

It’s been some time since I had that kind of luck. That wasn’t an easy move. I was a little surprised to see what kind of pressure you had put on before J2 even came up. It doesn’t take long to see what kind of skills a new opponent has

And finally, last but not least, Farmboy did what he should do. Scramble EVERYTHING. Again, a majority would be afraid of the dice and not want to lose every UK plane on G1. Well, you could say it’s hindsight, but… Farmboy won the game on G1 by saying “scramble everything”, and before that, with a bid placement.

With ALL respect to both!

if you care to prove me wrong on that, we could change the result to the expected average and see if clearing the allied land units really made that much of a difference to the risks you took.

@peirce This sounds like something to consider.
Of course, if A-D has already formally resigned (I haven’t seen that he has, for sure) then you are under no obligation whatsoever

@axis-dominion said in Post League Game Results Here:

you should see how much of a pounding i got from all his luck earlier in the game… i still continued, but this latest result was the nail in the coffin.

I gotta ask. Did you not see the guys complaining and agape over his luck in the PTV discussion thread, complete with an AI parrot of Trump talking about Peirce’s luck? (As if each roll is not an independent event LOOOOL) A lot funner to believe in the streaks.

You ran into a buzzsaw! My legendary luck has counteracted some of his, though LOOOL

You did the community a service, Peirce’s rating is leaping to it’s rightful level faster, and others are getting a clearer picture of what they’re up against.

And when I beat him, I’ll get more points

Ah! Yes.

No disrespect was meant. Thanks for clarifying

@mikawagunichi Only about 15, at the most

My overall got murdered by a single throw of the dice in a Classic game this year…

You would have been +3
Because you’re ELO is super high
Maybe too high.

@axis-dominion Disagree. Again, your rating is in the stratosphere. If you want to caress your ELO, you are almost a lock against anyone below 1800 or 1900, yet your ELO goes up a few points each time. What do you think it should be?

Any good system is going to weight your rating by the strength of your competition. If you get too much from just decent players, you’d just farm them.

@axis-dominion LOOOOL that is inevitable, it’s going to happen once in a great while and you know it

But that will happen a lot more often! You earned the right to be proud! It sucks to be knocked down a peg. Just sleep on it

13 points to get back to #1 above @Adam514
Man, Adam isn’t even rubbing it in your face or anything. Lick your wounds, lion, and get back out there!

I gotta put in one more thing. When people attack Zone 110 without a battleship, every scrambled plane hit takes out a German plane. You don’t want that.

Good luck ending the debates  :lol:
I think a battle by battle game review, by an objective experienced human player is the closest we can ever get to figuring out who was luckier and by how much.  Like Adam, I’m just very leery of something that purports to settle the question of who got luckier, when any automated system will have substantial weaknesses because only a human can weight each battle by its significance to the game.

@Stucifer is in

We need 2 more and will wait a few days for more. Extras might be added to allied teams.

Allies are going to need bigger bids than 1v1, obviously

Free agents at this time are
Stucifer
Mikawa
Crockett36
Oysteilo

You may or may not want to wait until a better prospect comes along!

I don’t even miss the BM modifications… :O

Oof, didn’t get it done.
Long weekend to annual family reunion, leaving tomorrow morning, back Tuesday
