League General Discussion Thread

@Tizkit, i see what you are saying and played with a similar thought my self, giving the better tier player some sort of a handicap.

But:

Over a hundred games played against at least all Tiers, i saw and realized it is good as it is.

Why??:
You have a real challenge. You will learn better that way. You will rework your flaws in your own game faster if you are willing to accept that sometimes or most of the times your Strategy is not the very best and it should be better to stick to a certain formula.
The formula simply is:
Get to know the board better and the game mechanics, know what you are doing and accept that the dice may not roll sometimes the way you want them to roll and work with it.

I think Gamerman01 did an awesome job with this pointsystem.
Is there a better way?, sure but to what cost??
I don’t want to be negative about your idea @Tizkit , just throwing in my thoughts and what i am came up with playing in the league for a while and being proud of the Progress many player and my self made over the years.

@aequitas-et-veritas I just want to clarify that I do not have any issue with the current system. Just wanted to bring up the other way because it is the only other way I could see working.

Playing a game with Trulpen and he is having an issue with the US/China/UK turn posting. It is not grouping the turn summary of all three powers when he posts. Is that beacuse he has an out of date version of triple A?

[simon33]

Probably an out of date version of the map. 4.0 is the most recent, not 3.9. In fact, you started it so it would be your map version which is out of date.

[majikforce]

@simon33 Okay. So version 3.9 does not group the turn summary but 4.0 does? Weird because I have another game with map version 3.4 and it does group the turn summaries. Oh well thanks for the help.

[simon33]

That would be 3.4 of Balanced Mod. 3.9 of G40 is not specific. Many different iterations of it existed.

[majikforce]

@simon33 Thanks I see that now.

Does BM not use the France NO where you get 12 IPC of free units one time after you liberate Paris?

[Adam514]

@majikforce It’s still there, and whenever France was liberated in my games it worked.

[majikforce]

@Adam514 Well maybe its a bug. It wouldn’t have to do with fact that Normandy was never conquered by the Axis? But just to be clear after the US liberates Paris the IPC’s should be immediately available correct? You don’t have to wait until Frances turn right? Thanks for the help.

[Adam514]

@majikforce Actually it’s just 4 French infantry that spawn in France when it’s liberated, you need to edit the 4 inf to whatever you want that is worth 12 PUs or less.

@Adam514 Political question. Japan declared war on US, UK, ANZAC turn 1. US landed troops in Manchuria turn 2. Turn 3 Russia declares war on Japan yet it does not let me move Russian troops from Amur into Manchuria. Am I missing something as to why this is not allowed? The politics panel shows that Russia is neutral to the US yet allied to UK Pacific and ANZAC. Is this a bug? Thanks for the help.

[Adam514]

Never had that happen. Is Russia not at war with Germany yet? That might be the cause of the bug, it is a bug.

Did you edit the relationships?

[majikforce]

@Adam514 Yeah they are not at war yet with Germany. So it is a bug. Okay cool thanks Adam. I will edit it.

[simon33]

Looks like the Americans aren’t allied with the russians in that case. Although when the Russians move into Manchuria they suddenly become allied. I can only duplicate a problem if the Americans get on Korea. In that case, the Soviets can’t move into that territory. It’s a bit messy because Triple-A doesn’t properly support the rule that the Soviets are at war on the Pacific and Europe maps individually. There’s no complete solution. Once you make the Americans and Soviets allied, the former will be able to land on the latter on the Europe map even though this is illegal.

[majikforce]

@simon33 You are correct it is Korea not Manchuria. My bad.

[Sovietishcat]

@Adam514 I have a question regarding VC; If Italy takes Egypt and it makes 8 VC; do they win right away or they have to hold it for one more round?

[Sovietishcat]

@Adam514 in BM3

[Adam514]

@Sovietishcat Same as vanilla, Axis need to keep the required number of VCs for 1 full round (until Italy’s next turn in your example). If the number of VCs drops below the required number, you’ll need to get back the required number and the 1 full turn starts again.

[Sovietishcat]

@Adam514 But in the notes in G40 in mentions that the axis requires to hold it for 1 round at least, and in BM3 notes, it does not mention it + at the end of french turn a message pop out saying ‘’ revised vichy victory were met, do you wish to continue ‘’
