Thank you for getting me roped back in to Classic!
You deserve a 2nd game where I take the disadvantaged Axis. I probably won’t last as long as you

Savegame

@crockett36 That’s possible. I was thinking about it earlier this year. Thanks for the invitation!

Beyond that it’s a complicated answer I won’t post here

@gamerman01

Agreed.

No. Maybe I am happy if you make no blunder, have good dice and make a good game but lose against me and have no idea why- grin

on with previous post
M v 2 may be more dependent on who playing axis
M axis may give 50-60 where tier 2 playing axis may only give 20-30.
this part I dont feel as confident about but threw something out in case somebody asked.
this does sort of gives me a segway into fair bid between tier/skill levels. somebody posted years ago about bids to level skill differences but dont know how to look up. Booper recently mentioned 5 as addressing skill difference between people one level apart. My rough recollection is that it was more of range of 10-20 per every tier difference. They even had different numbers between tiers, such as tier 3 v tier 2 ---- 15-20. Tier 1 v Tier E -----10-15. etc. I would just use maybe 15 between tiers for this example as being more accurate is beyond me and that people who could possibly be more accurate are not going to spend time on it. so now M v 2 becomes.
tier M axis v tier 2 --------50-60 plus 3 tier difference at 15 each—45 produces a bid of 95-105.
tier 2 axis v tier M-------------20-30 minus 3 tier difference at 15 each—45 produces a bid of 15-25 to the axis.
recent example of tier M v tier 2 is ABH v Crockett allies + 100 as a tutor game that ABH won.
just had this in my head for a few days and wanted to get it out so I could let it go. I am in no way advocating or proposing this for league play. league play is generally about winning,ranking,champion etc. not trying to have everybody have 50-50 records with a 40 way tie for first and last place.

Hey, I started the awesome topic!

You’re right, thanks for moving.

Yes, opened immediately and lovingly played with some by myself, as a copy of some online games I played. Most years untouched in the box. Pieces a bit dusty. Includes my home-made NO charts.

OK, looking it up online it’s $250 to $350, and maybe there’s a 2017 re-print?? Not sure I’d be willing to give mine up, just curious about how much you would want it for I guess.

Sorry, I don’t mean to toy with you. It’s still possible I would sell.

@pacifiersboard They used both DC-3s (aka C-47s) and gliders for heavier units.

Thanks, that sounds good! I don’t think we can end our 30 round slugfest by March 10, but we can try! :laughing:

You don’t have much to clean up in the Med, so that is lucky for you. Unless everything hits back, of course. Should be enjoyable, attacking UK/France in the Med.

We’ve got a compelling game going, that’s for sure.

@taamvan

True.

@elche said in L22 elche (x) vs Gamerman01 (+18) BM4:

I will wait for Revanche.

:flushed: and here we are! At each other’s throats in round 4 - a great playoff game.

Gnight from America

Also, thank you for the pace. We started July 1 and we didn’t finish round 8, so thanks for being OK with me being slow.

Responded in pm, thank you
