@MrRoboto said in League General Discussion Thread:

The same as you.
As long as the first Pro-Axis-Neutral was previously attacked, you can move through it into another pro-axis-neutral during non-combat.

Page 11, 3rd paragraph, If a neutral is (was previously) attacked, it is no longer neutral, so yes, you can always move through an empty territory in combat or non-combat movement with a tank, or tank/mech pairings as normal.

@gamerman01 yes the frenchies. after they change.

@farmboy said in League General Discussion Thread:

@MrRoboto that is key though, a pro axis neutral would have to be previously attacked for it be walked through on an axis NCM. Otherwise a tank or mech would have to end their movement in the first one.

Farmboy is correct, you can’t move through a friendly neutral in noncombat. If a pro-axis neutral was previously attacked, it is no longer a pro-axis neutral, it immediately joined the axis when attacked. Then it is a friendly territory to the Axis on the Axis power’s turn, so can be driven through
You can never “walk through” 2 spaces, farmboy, you need wheels!!! LOL

Ah!!! Right, Vichy.

Italy can’t blitz them because they’re friendly neutrals.

I had an opponent who thought he could do this. How long do you think it was until I made him take it back?

[gamerman01]

Fantastic question, @dawgoneit ,
Look at all the misconceptions you cleared up for players

[dawgoneit]

@gamerman01 ok. yes go thru or no.

@dawgoneit said in League General Discussion Thread:

@gamerman01 Can a Italian tank non com through 2 neutral spaces claiming them in North Africa.

as you say “non com” I assumed friendly neutrals and answer is: No

PS: I find the Game Notes in TripleA really helpful and to cover very most cases of my rule questions, especially those eventually not done right by the engine

Italians can’t blitz through Vichy neutrals. No one can move through a friendly neutral in non-com, they have to stop.

@gamerman01 First post edited because now I know Dawg means Vichy territories in North Africa (which are friendly, not unfriendly like I started answering)

Avid A&A players who play online for free!! :

Please quick look at the founder (Dave Jensen’s) post for the 2024 funds drive. (link provided above!)

The need appears to be greater than ever.
Looks like there are perks, like no ads, for silver and gold. I don’t know what “signature” for gold means, but I got gold.

$60 is $5 a month. Do it!

@dawgoneit has already donated on the first day available.
He beats us ALL at supporting this site with $$
He has NEVER missed a year of GOLD since 2013?!!! Try to keep up! He’s doing the heavy lifting!

You can set your signature in your profile. My signature should be visible right under my posting.

@Stucifer said in League rules idea: mulligans for patrons:

I wonder if there is a way we could drive some engagement with the League by showcasing one of the title matches on YouTube or something.

The Balanced Mod championship of 2022 just finished on 12/31 and was a 17 rounder. I would be happy to be featured, and @farmboy probably would too.
Of course some other playoff games were no doubt awesome, I’m just suggesting what I know - do a show of any game you can get participation on as far as I’m concerned

Let me know if there’s any way I can facilitate the video/showcase/interview/game board display ideas

See where it says “It’s time to support the site with an annual donation and get your badge!” on your messages but nobody else has that? That’s a Gold perk.

@crockett36 I have a small youtube channel and can do a review of the balanced mod championship. I am currently reviewing the 22 semifinal match between AAAgamer and ABH.

If anyone has crtitiques or ways to improve private message. I can also add a suggestion that people donate and chat up the advantages of tripleA and this site. I already do, but I can ramp it up. Just tell me what you want and I will try my best. I can also be reached by phone.

@crockett36 This is my interview with AAAgamer, champion 2021.

[gamerman01]

Thanks a lot @crockett36, I have watched 7 minutes so far and loving it. I’ll say more after I watch more, over lunch, here.

I am already in awe that @AndrewAAGamer owns and/or works at a proper board gaming store, or one of his older brothers let him use it as a prop, not sure yet (I still need to watch the whole interview). And on the exotic NW coast, no less.

Love it so far. I was a kid in the early 80’s who thought it was exciting to shoot rubber bands at army men on the coffee table. Actually, there were little catapult things and quite a thrill to take down a whole column domino-style. We didn’t have TV and didn’t live in town.

Now Andrew explains that he went online when COVID hit and he wasn’t able to play in his groups in the area

I look back at the standings and using the ELO spreadsheet, and wow, first game result in April 2020, right on schedule.
I’m only at the 9 minute mark in the interview, and pairing that with seeing @AndrewAAGamer s body of work in the league since April 2020 is very interesting.
COVID greatly accelerated the use of video-conferencing and greater reliance on the internet’s capabilities, but we online gamers have been very shy and we don’t know each other but by some text chatting.
We like to kill each other’s army men with clicks.

Thanks for doing it you guys and I will keep watching and I want mooooorrrree!
