@ArtofWar1947 I may not be doing as much as we planned due to rain. I can see this…
No scrambles.

Yes it has. Less players, harder to get games, some give up in frustration.
Although League games are normally finished unlike online games
I used to play games w/newbies just to get them going. Maybe I/we could do more…

All I have to say is if you are bored with BM, PtV is more complex. games are slower and take longer but more interesting. Come over to PtV
-
@666 Maybe we come up with some type of slogan and or promotion to get more players for next year. can we send any messages to old players to get them back?

Sure, those are good ideas -
Very exciting during 2022 to have some returning golden oldies - I guess - myself included <cough>I apologize if I overlooked you, but Ghostglider and Me1945 were especially interesting come-backs

I have a win against Soulblighter and Simon33 for 2023
I think I played a game against AndrewGamer in 2022?

Right, one reported with Andrew
So you’re saying you’re going to have 2 done in 2023, so in progress and you’re waiting 'til tomorrow to bust out of the gate 2 and 0? -

Exciting stuff. Have fun and be a good sport!Brackets are in a separate sheet in the standings spreadsheet. You may start immediately.

In the balanced mod, 2nd bracket, both Sovietishcat and Avner get “byes” for the first round due to their #1 and #2 status.
EVERYONE else who signed up can play now

Official league rules for 2023 have been scrutinized and IMPROVED and UPDATED
And even after that they still have some Commander Jennifer flavor to them (lol) she did a lot of good work for the league that we all still enjoy today.
Mostly updated for the 3 different game versions we play, and the number of games required for the playoffs.
One big change is you only need 6 games (across all versions) to be able to play a single adversary to best of 5, and then 12 to go best of 7 (etc). This could potentially add more games played for players who want to keep playing a favorite opponent and/or don’t want to spread themselves around too much. Anyway, based on the number of players and games we have these days it seems more appropriate.
And if any of you love to bid Chinese fighters to the game as the Allies, you will be really mad at me for removing them (AND ARTILLERY) from the rules. Reason is, the flying tigers are obviously supposed to be a unique American volunteer unit, and China needs to earn artillery by having the Burma road open at the beginning of their turn, IMO. But don’t despair, your opponent will probably be OK with them, and if your opponent agrees, you know, in the league you can then generally do it. (I reserve some exceptions)

@gamerman01 a Commander Jenn reference, nice!

Our former den mother. Now y’all just have me.

@gamerman01 Give me six more months of playtesting & I just might have G40+ ready for public release…

@hengst Then, of course, the turn-it-into-a-AAA-module process begins… shouldn’t be too hard if the AAA devs are willing to listen to my desperate feature requests :)

What features do you want?

Dear all,
I somehow have some issues when trying to load and study old games. Most of the time, when I open saved games, I get the following or a similar error message:
I use AAA Java version 11.0.6 and engine version 2.5.22294
This happens with saved games from 2021 and 2022, and it is quite annoying, as it is impossible to study any games.
Has this ever occurred to you, and how did you manage to solve this?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Martin -
PS: I get this error message, when I go to Game History and click anywhere

@simon33 I love you.
Starter list:
-
An option for unitAttachments to have a max/min canProduceXUnits when canProduceXUnits = -1;
-
Some way for a triggerAttachment to make all units of a given player convert to those of other players’, by some rule. (See this rule).
3, Allow naval bombardments to be declared without an amphibious assault (I’ve tried to implement this using a dummy “bombard” unit that’s produced by naval vessels each turn in a step between combat movement & combat but I’ve never been able to get it to work the way I want, & it’s horribly inelegant)
- Ideally, a token victory system that keeps track of how many triggerAttachments have been fulfilled, where the player can control which ones are active at a given time using a new step delegate (tokenManage?)
There’s some more things for edge cases but the majority of the important changes I think I can already do in triple a. It’s a really robust program (even if sometimes it seems the best documentation for writing xmls is just the parser source) :)
