Is the league still strong?

It is weaker without you. But I am having trouble getting wins.

@simon33

After the holidays, I will see where I am at time-wise and perhaps jump back in.

The last couple years I have been doing BBR, which people play via YouTube (don’t get me started) and in person.

BBR is wild, more like poker than chess. But you all would be proud, me and Gargantua when to a bunch tourneys in Atlanta and St. Louis and stomped nerds into dust.

Anyway, thinking of getting back to something more cerebral/serious.

Sounds like the tractor beam’s got you, I won’t even try to persuade because you’ve already decided

Who would have a chance against 2 A&A.org league veterans?

@gamerman01

Once upon a time had a 1/4 victory ratio against AxisD. (That might be an exaggeration, LOL)

I joined the G40 league right when it started like in 2012? Back then it was all fast paced, ripping turns, cracking dice, completing like 30+ games a season. When the “good” players got in, the level of play shifted and you either slowed down and thought about your moves or you DIED.

I died a lot before I learned my lesson (sort of).

Back in 2012, we still used battlemap!!!

Oh man… the memories of trying to move 40+ mega stack and having the program freeze!

Yikes!

@simon33 point of view of a weaker player: Four years or so ago, you posted like five defeats during one single day. I thought: well, that’s my victim. And then you just killed me 😅

[gamerman01]

I don’t think I did a single game of ABattlemap on G40… nor TripleA on Anniversary.
Now once in awhile I play the AI on TripleA AA50 - pretty fun now. The AI is pretty decent actually. It’s fun to just take Italy and tip the scales for the Axis

I never understood People who played battle map

I played early versions od triple a, and no matter how imperfect it was, still much better then battle map IMHO

[gamerman01]

At least you could put your units where you wanted within the territories and zones!!

It was really cool, typing out your moves like you were playing chess from an 1800’s railroad telegraph office 🚂

Also, rolling dice on forum was more like playing in person than Triple A instantly spitting out the results. :aaa dice 3@1 5@2 6@3" sigh… 👦🏻

One of these years I’ll get someone here to play a game of AA50 with Abattlemap.

Loved Battlemap! Was very sceptical of this tripleA thing at first.

[666]

@gamerman01 is Darthmaximus still around? I think its been 15 years, or more?

[gamerman01]

Yeah, no, I don’t think so. Thought I’d go ahead and ring a bell and see if any of the dead rose

[Karl7]

@666. What about cow?

[gamerman01]

I tagged him, you just maybe overlooked his little 3 letter name

[666]

@Karl7 I just had a nice tenderloin filet the other night, that is the only cow i’ve seen…
