Yeah, that didn’t go so hot for the Yanks. I’m surprised you sent in the UK though… was expecting a Gibraltar airbase.

Let me know if you want to submerge the subs and casualty orders for my sub/air hits.

Yeah you have a couple losses against new players which is no good. At least it looks like when I get ranked it should boost your score. Apparently I’m in the elite group right now. Ha.

@Gargantua:

To illustrate the point on “overkill” attacks. They should be recorded.

I’m thinking of overkill a bit differently… not as sending extra to account for the variance in dice outcomes and making sure that you get the kill, but actual hits that are superfluous. In your example there isn’t overkill in that sense because you achieved just enough hits to clear his units. “evenkill” perhaps?

In the example of a 50 unit stack marching into a blocker, let’s say your expected hits are 20, but you only hit 10. The hit handicap calc would yield a -10 result, but this is superfluous data. It’s true that your rolls were poor, but they didn’t really have any game impact.

It would be nice if those could be eliminated, especially if you’re house ruling bonuses based on the hit handicap.

What about the original calc when units remain but if they are cleared your hit score is:

+0 ->if expected hits were greater than necessary hits
+(Actual) - (Expected) -> if expected hits were less than necessary hits

In the example of your 5x fighters vs the destroyer you would still get the -1.5 hit handicap, but if you happened to roll 5/5 you would score 0 rather than +2.5 since the extra hits didn’t actually help you.

@Omega1759:

Regarding the TUV logic, we would need to figure out how to factor retreat. Once a retreat is called, do you reduce the expected TUV to the number of rounds that were rolled?

That’s a good point. In an intentional strafe you might tend to look unlucky if you use pre-battle expected TUV vs actual. You are giving up the TUV swing of later rounds on purpose but the calc would attribute it to luck.

So how do most people do their bids? I mean for us I just let you pick it because I don’t really know what’s normal, but I thought it would be more of a back and forth until one player won’t go any lower. (that or a blind draw where you both pick a number and the lowest takes allies)

So if you said 50 bid for Allies, wouldn’t the Master/Elite player just underbid that?

I’m thinking it would be nice to have the handicap be separate from the bid… so the lower rank player takes bid+handicap if they get allies and the higher rank player takes bid-handicap if they take allies.

So if a standard bid is 24, and you’d play a masters player for 50, then the handicap would be 26. Meaning you take allies for 24+26=50 or the Masters player takes allies for 24-26=-2.

Would you take axis against an elite/master player with an axis bid of 2?

Tizkit

Well that’s good that it generally works itself out. It still kind of narrows the field of potential opponents in an already narrow field.

You’re right it’s most fun to play a tight game. It’s no fun if there’s little risk of losing or little chance of winning.

It would be nice if there was a handicap system where you could play an opponent from any rank and the win rates would be closer to 50%. It’s gotta be disheartening and hard to keep plugging with some of those super low win rates I see from last year.

Tizkit

Ah, right in front of my face. You can see it on my resolution but it’s so small it just looked like misc pixels.

That’s kinda lame about the rankings. Have you seen any appetite for changing the system? (i.e. threads about that) Seems like it’s been that way for years.

Tizkit

Hey, couple of questions for you.

Is there a way in Triple A to see how much damage is on a factory short of progressing to the start of the nation that owns the factory?

I was looking at the league rankings sheet and it seems there is a disincentive for top ranking players to play lower ranked players since they would earn less PPG than they need to maintain their position. Am I understanding that right?

“How the league works” might be a good video topic for you. :)

Gargantua,

This is definitely a great idea and would be a great tool.

I’m wondering about a slightly different metric though:
Sum[(Battle Score) - (Expected Battle Score)]

You mentioned the two main drawbacks of your calc:
a) Includes all overkill rolls
b) Values all rolls equally

These two factors could produce a false handicap. Consider a match where in the early game one player hits 3/3 on AA fire. (+2.5 Handicap) An unexpected TUV swing of 50+ is very possible from the value of the planes and the loss of their potential rolls. With top tier players that could be enough to slant the game.

If later in the game the player with the lucky AA shots mashes his stack of 50 units into a blocker a couple of times the impact of the extra 100 rolls will almost certainly overshadow the +2.5 Handicap from the AA fire. (and the impact of those rolls could easily throw the handicap into the negatives instead)

So now you can lose to an opponent who was lucky but still has a negative handicap inaccurately confirming their brilliance. :-P

Using the Battle Score differential would compensate somewhat for the above problems because it incorporates a value system to the impact of each roll and ignores overkills.

The actual battle score is easy since it comes with the turn summary. The Expected battle score is harder. I believe you need a simulator to get that reliably because of the path dependency of the battle. (i.e. the second round depends on how the first round went) Unless you know of a reliable way to get expected TUV swing without a simulation?

Perhaps the developers could get the system to run the battle calculator for X trials before each battle and spit out the expected TUV swing with the turn summary so you would get both an actual Battle Score and Expected Battle Score.

The principle would be the same as your calc, you find the Battle Score differential for both players for all combats and add them together to get an overall result. Plus the metric’s value is already in IPCs which we all understand. Measuring hits/kills is more subjective… kills of what?

Have you tested your method at all for false handicap results?
