More of a damning assessment of LL IMO. PTV is by far the most balanced and dynamic of the the 3 global variants.

There is a 4th variant :)

Yes, but that one is not a League game which, I think, is what he was referring to.

@AndrewAAGamer

Sorry

My bad

42 should be league, imo.

[Stucifer]

@crockett36 Seconded, G42 is the official GenCon tournament version.

I have been practicing quite a bit for BGN’s Battlefront Dayton this November, and the time limit using a tournament format really changes the game.

I will admit I’m not sure what version you are referencing when you say 42. Is that AA 50 1942 scenario?

[crockett36]

@AndrewAAGamer LH came up with a 42 set up. It is the version of G40 that is played as a tournament at Gencon, Smorey Swamp. Very unique. Worth a look.

@AndrewAAGamer Global 1942, there is an official Larry Harris version which is included in the Global map pack download.

Major differences in board setup since it (vaguely) resembles a later point in time, and the Turn Order is different -
USSR
JAPAN
USA/CHINA
GERMANY
UK
ITALY
ANZAC/FRANCE

[AndrewAAGamer]

Thank you for such a quick and thorough reply!

@barnee I’ve checked out Oztea 42, heard good things. Haven’t ever played it against a human opponent though.

Interesting stats between the 3:

@Stucifer

good action :)

Yea @oztea goes with a heavier initial placement unit wise in his mods, except for the '39

There both good. Just wanted to give it a ping in case someone hadn’t seen it :)

@everyone Hello hope everyone is well. I would like to let those of you I am in games with currently know that I am leaving for 3 weeks to Europe. I will try my best to play turns as frequently as I can, but no promises. I will for sure do one turn in each game tomorrow morning as I’m in the airport.
Additionally, if anyone has been to Dublin, Paris, or London and has anything they think I should do there PLEASE let me know as I am in each city for a week and I still have a few free days with nothing planned. Thank you all!!

There are rumblings about a little 2v2, non recorded game league action.

Are you interested? Discussion starting up a bit on that top stickied hot-seat thread. I’ll change the name of it if this gets rolling.

Leaning toward a mini-tournament.
8 players makes a 2 round tournament, 16 makes a 3 round. We can fit in the odd numbers if necessary, like a 3 man Allied team or 2 or something

G40 OOB

Get to know another player! (Your partner) Maybe even some video-conferencing!
Play Axis and Allies the way it was meant? to be played. WITHOUT total control of half the world! Try to work with another! Get new ideas for game play. Experience the game in a whole different way.
Informal! Fun! League players! Or bring a friend from outside, that’s OK

[crockett36]

@gamerman01 I’m in!

[oysteilo]

I would be interested too!

@axis-dominion @Booper @mikawagunichi @Stucifer @Adam514 @surfer Hey gents, just a heads up that I’ll have limited time to play TripleA over the next week or so, due to vacation and family commitments. Sorry for the delay!

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 Count me in - will be fun!
