@gamerman01 Yeah, my question was specifically about whether I could use a cruiser to load a marine before sending the cruiser into combat and where there is no combat landing by the marine.

Are forum dice set up again? If so, is there a link that explains how?

No, they are not.

As a workaround you can use the “Roll Dice” feature at any time during the game:

Those rolls are emailed in case MARTI is the dice roller used for that game.

[farmboy]

@Panther Thanks!.

[majikforce]

Anyone having issues with receiving MARTI dice rolls? Some games I don’t get any rolls other games I get some of the rolls and they show up over the next day or two.

[OwenToo]

I got the USA rolls from yesterday morning for our game…

[farmboy]

@majikforce I haven’t had a problem lately but it has happened to me before where the rolls are delayed. I’ve also had it happen twice where the game has changed the email to that of another player (either sometime else that I’m playing it someone else that my opponent is playing. So it can be worth checking if the dice emails are right.

Sometimes they go into the junk email folder. Although that wouldn’t explain delayed emails I wouldn’t have thought.

glitch in the matrix??? and this after a restart graciously allowed by ksmckay due to getting diced so hard the first time around to where I only had a tank survive!!!

NOTHING like this has ever ever happened to me in France, ever!

and btw, I had sent TWO tacs this time around, because of the result first time around. one of those tacs got shot down

[majikforce]

@axis-dominion Whoa! That is hardcore. I’ve had some bad beats in France but never like this. Its like the double rainbow for an allied player. Its too beautiful to look at! ksmckay MUST be the chosen one!

[dawgoneit]

@majikforce has the tournament started up yet?

what the fu…

AD, that’s atrocious!

[farmboy]

Has there been any thought in the past for allowing games to end as a tie but where points are still counted for league play? Would that be an option as a league rule going forward?

I thought one option could be that after 20 turns, if both players agree, a tie can be declared and the points allocated would be = to a win minus 2. So if you draw tier m you get 6 points and if you draw tier 2 you get 3 points.

I have some self interest in suggesting this. Oysteilo and I have a game that is about to reach 40 turns, that we both find quite difficult to play, and which is still at least a few turns away from someone being clearly able to win. But I think we would both prefer the effort not to have gone to waste since we have been playing this game for more than a year.

[simon33]

Surely you would just agree to not report it.

[farmboy]

@simon33 that is an option too. I still would prefer to count it to the game count given the time we have committed.

I support @farmboy 100% on this and would definitely like to see a tie function in league play

Or both sides can simply report a loss each, simulating a tie…

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@oysteilo
Nothing mentioned on how to handle ties.

Looks more like that it is layed out to find a winner for each game.
Therefore is explained that you can play best of … games to settle it for one season.
Wich makes sense.
The games are too individual to break for a tie.

[farmboy]

@aequitas-et-veritas I’m just trying to gauge if there is interest in this kind of rule change and since I’m ‘newer’ to league play, whether there was thought given to this in the past. I expect ties would be very rare. And having conditions like it has to be after round 20 (or 25 or 30) and both players must agree would hopefully make it very rare. I just think it would be nice to have a mechanism for players to agree to end a game without a decision and not have all the time spent go to waste.
