Joining a 1v1 game second is an advantage!

Postby sdh on Sun Jun 17, 2012 4:33 am

So I had this idea that joining a 1v1 game second means you are more likely to get the first turn. When I played lots of tournaments I always tried to join the game second, especially if the game was manual deploy. I know it's suppose to be random but I don't believe it :lol:

I'm going for the gold trench medal in the easiest way possible playing 1v1 speed games on Luxembourg. I have made all the games I've played so far and I am counting how many times I play first or second and these are the results so far:

Games played: 100
Play first: 34
Play second: 66
:shock:

Has anyone else found this???

I haven't keep track but that's what I think too. The player who joins often starts.

Well I nearly only play 1v1,games started by me and I had the impression I went first slightly more often than my opponents,no stats to back this up.If you are correct it means I have won 58% of games going second more often,I should award myself a medal lol. I could use some..

I tracked it one time and had about the same 33 percent of starts--I was joining second though. That was with a sample size of about 120 games.

Joining 2nd is an advantage if there's fog because you get to see the board first, getting the 1st turn is a bonus because you can attack before the opponent looks at the board and take a bonus without them being able to know if they had troops there or not if you play it right.

Unless it's a round limits game... then joining second gets you a loss in the event of a tie!
