Is the initial maximum games allowed vs one opponent still 3 with these playoff-qualification tweaks?

Great question - I hadn’t considered that yet. Since we will soon have a combined standings, it will be easy for me to monitor.

In other words, if you beat someone at PTV once and also BM once, no more wins against that same opponent will count until you both reach 10 games total played. (Best of 3 game series) Once you both have reached 10 games total (all versions) that limit is expanded to best of 5 (first to 3 wins across all versions)

I could be persuaded to adjust the limits against another individual player, but we have used these limits for many years with little protest. I think across all 3 versions as illustrated above is the logical continuation of this rule - otherwise, you could play 9 games against the same player before going to anyone else (a best of 3 series in all 3 versions, potentially)

Thanks for that question - I need to remember to address that in the written rules when I get to them.

For the record, I am supportive of the idea of allowing a lower number of games played for OOB than BM. In the event that BM or P2V fall out of favour through the year they may need differing minimum numbers of relevant games played. We also need to clarify the default rule as BM4 (I would presume) for that playoff. P2V may change through the year so we probably need to decide how to handle that potential issue. OOB with a bid for allies is clear enough at present.

The idea that I do disagree with is OOB games counting toward your BM minimum and all ways around.

Thanks Simon, I should probably post my thoughts on this again. It looks like it will be an 8 game minimum for the league champion (top bracket) for BM in 2021, but we can re-assess this mid-year (allowing plenty of months for everyone to adjust). Will probably be a lower minimum (for the league champion in that version, top bracket) for PTV and OOB, but for all versions we can look at the number of completed games part-way through 2021 when we will be better able to agree on a proper minimum. 3 game minimum will stand for being able to participate in each version’s playoffs (but 3 will not be sufficient for the top bracket in any version unless participation in one version is much lower than we would anticipate at this time)

And I am also of the opinion that games played in one version will not help you qualify for a playoff in a different version at all.

Is there any problem with https://triplea-game.org/download/ ?

I am trying to download the latest version of the client there but the download is unbearably slow and then actually stops after a few megabytes. I checked my internet and the connection was fine.

Does anyone have the same problem? Is there an alternative source to download the latest version?

[JDOW]

But sure if relevant, but I am downloading from Germany.

[simon33]

Think I had the same problem but eventually got it to work.

Interesting start to the playoffs … I think the Allies (Ghostglider, trulpen, JDOW) are looking strong in the G40 matches.

I don’t know enough to judge the PTV game between Adams514 and regularkid.

In spite of the possible loss of Sydney, I would still be allies in that game at present.

Sorry, I can’t exactly say why, but for some reason I feel like a complete hack as Allies, so don’t put your bets on me, folks.

@trulpen Well, you are playing one of top 3 players in the league so who wouldn’t lose :D

I could download it now from github, but it took ages.

Is it allowed for Germany to have units in teritorrity originaly owned by Russia, occupied and taken by Italy without being at war with Russia

[Colt45554]

I don’t know if it’s the right discussion (just move it in case).

I’ve been playing for years but I still can’t learn from my mistakes

Maybe I’m more skilled as a tactic and not as a strategy?

I believe that the champions or the best players almost always win (compensating for the bad luck of the dice) because they have an overall strategic vision?

That is, they always have a plan both playing as allies and as axis

Maybe my mistake is to often limit myself to responding to the opponent?

Sorry if I express my thoughts here but you are the best players in the world …
