@simon33 Ok. Low luck is just a rule for the dice. So, are we to assume that every rule that might be affected by low luck is affected by it?

Not sure if there are any other rules affected.

It’s possible to apply LL on SBR and CD.

[simon33]

LL on SBR AA Guns is pretty obvious but not sure about the damage rolls.
LL on CD - so reduce income by 1 for every die roll? I suppose that is possible.

But I think the one he was talking about: is this attack legal is the only real anomaly that LL causes.

[trulpen]

Hehe, I’d say the real anomaly is being able to make such an air-raid by allocating a cheap, crazy kamikaze attack. Of course, the air will also be expended, so not so cheap actually, but in a situation when i e winning the game if the opponent can’t grab a VC and that land would be needed for that purpose, any investment is worth it.

[aagamerz13]

@trulpen Well, T, a rule is a rule. Would like to know if this still applies for LL. I’ll assume it doesn’t and not send carrier fighters.

[oysteilo]

@aagamerz13 i would say this is an illegal move in LL. The rules state you need a potential landing spot. In LL you dont meet this requirement

There’s no specific rule that allows such an attack.ä, but rather a consequence of rules where a theoretical, but practically impossible, landing spot exists. As Oysteilo says, it doesn’t exist in LL, because the odds does then not exist.

[Adam514]

My understanding that an attack that is legal in dice is legal in LL as well.

Is there allready somebody out there interested to keep the scoreboard running and or is willing to become League Mod??

I agree with this. i think the scoreboard needs to be updated. It looks like gamerman was online like 2 moths ago. I think we have all read his post so we understand and respect. Nevertheless, maybe it is time to start looking for someone else. Personally I think f.eks @Adam514, @JDOW and @simon33 would be great people to moderate and keep scoreboards as they are skilled with the rules. But I am sure many other people would be capable too.

[aagamerz13]

@oysteilo I’m seeing an issue with PTV USSR2. If Germany does a G2 and USSR declares on Italy, the 3 lend lease objectives don’t activate. They don’t specifically read that they are round 3 and later as in BM3. If they are still R3 and later, the text needs to be updated.

[regularkid]

@aagamerz13 thanks for the feedback. The objectives panel has been updated in the current version of PTV to reflect that the Lend Lease only kicks in from round 3 and beyond.

[aagamerz13]

@regularkid Thx. I’ll update the map.

[DizzKneeLand33]

@gamerman01 You have been a godsend to our game. I hope that all is well in your personal life – I understand firsthand when real life gets in the way sometimes. Thank you so much for your commitment to all of us for so many years, and I hope that you can come back to play some games with the rest of us soon.

Bids for balanced mod are going up and up. Noticing a lot of games at allies+16-22 and not seeing lots of allied victories. Interesting, I would think that a prudent bid at these levels would see a plane+sub for the med and perhaps a mech for Burma to stop a J1 DOW (If that needs to be stopped). The problem with a bid like this is that it changes the med dynamic a lot and makes it hard for the axis there IMHO. I thought the Scottish fighter was bad enough in that it discouraged the two fleet attack G1.

Don’t think that PtV is the answer either - with the change to partition SZ38 just don’t enjoy that map much. Possibly, axis strategies could develop in the future, like they have in OOB and BM, to the point that change makes sense but at present I don’t think it does.

Now I am wondering if we need a different or changed map for league games to be fun again. Or should we just think that the bid is part of the fun and you should decide where you want change the game dynamics at the start?

[trulpen]

I think the bid has to be part of it. A positive is that it does give some dynamic space, making the game more varied.

[farmboy]

@simon33 I think the bids are just part of the fun, and 22 is right now the price some players are willing to pay to play axis. I suspect in the long run, that will be a little high.

You are probably right that UK naval/air bids are the best (alhtough I’d probably emphasize the Atlantic including 91 which can reach into the med). And that makes sense since the only thing the Allies are certain of at the start is that Germany is at war with the UK and that is where you can minimize the damage the Germans can do the most. If you new with absolute certainty that your opponent was doing a J1, that might change things a bit. And that does reduce some of the variation in game play. It is probably an advantage of OOB with its bids of 50-60 that the Allies will end up spending that bid elsewhere too.

Yeah, with a 22 bid though you can do subs in 91 & 98 + ftr Malta. Which gives a coin toss in SZ91 if they go after it with 2 subs. With the bid I was suggesting there is a setback if the SZ91 CA is sunk G1.

Most probable attack is SZ91 will not be attacked though.
