League General Discussion Thread

[Ichabod]

I’d like to join the league games…I’m not that good. Anyone looking for a game?

[gamerman01]

@Ichabod:

I’m not a very good player (easy prey), but I’d like to join the “league,” where or who do I ask for that?

Just play someone else, in the league section.  Please read the league rules in the stickied thread also

Just curious, do league games have to be played only by forum? Even if legal, my time currently doesn’t permit this game. But I do prefer triplea live just like I prefer face-to-face over triplea live.

If a game is started in a forum thread, but then is loaded in triplea live, the game could be played live for several rounds; saved and then re-posted back into the forum simply by a manual post through the application of triplea play-by-forum.

Some people do better in triplea by forum where they can study the game for awhile before making their moves. Triplea live, you’re not really afforded the same opportunity to plan out stuff as much.

Yeah there’s no requirement to play by forum.  We even count face to face games on the actual game board

Had a calculator question in a league game.

In a recent combat where I was defending, my opponent and I came up with completely different calculator results. In his calculator, he (the attacker) had 87% odds. In mine, he had 35%. Its not a big deal, but I’m curious what explains this. When I go through it myself, I think the 35% is more accurate, and I’m curious if I am right on that too.

You can see it on page 7 here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=42164.90 We both posted screen shots of our calculators on the battle.

Hi farmboy,

I have the same version tripleA as you do (1.9.0.0.9687), and my built-in calc also gave the the attacker 35% chance of victory.

If Giallo has an earlier version (1.9.0.0.xxxx), I believe the calculator may have distorted the odds when using bombardment.

Even if 100% of American bombard rolls hit, the odds of Allied victory would still be significantly below 62%.

You can test this by removing the 3 American ships and 3 of the Axis infantry (Note: I say below 62%, because testing this way doesn’t allow the hypothetical bombard casualties to fire in round 1 and because it’s a suboptimal OOL).

Hope this helps  :-)

Thanks Wheatbeer. That does help. I figured it was calculator error but wanted to make sure it wasn’t my calculator that was messing up.

For those of you who remember the illustrious and flamboyant Boldfresh, you may be interested to know that he is in Las Vegas now, for the World Series of Poker event this weekend.  I’ll let you know how he does.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

We wish him good Hands all the time.

Say hi from me, please.

[JDOW]

He survived day 1 and played day2 yesterday in the main event. Did he survive arathorn or gamerman?

[arathorn]

@JDOW:

He got knocked out late last night, day 2.

He had 2nd best hand on a bunch of important pots. He played all day with one of the guys from last year’s final table, and it just didn’t break his way.

We had fun watching him though! Negraneu got smoked out early this year.

Better luck next year! Perhaps JDOW will join us? ;)

[JDOW]

No, I have quit poker years ago. Also, I was a cash-game player and not a Tournament player.
