    that’s Jeff28… sorry


  • Crud, if Karl keeps losing that will knock me off the top spot too, Bold  :wink:

    Tyzoq will soon be number 1 because he hasn’t played Karl.  :-)


  • Well, Tyzoq and I are on top with our one result at 2.00 and you drop to 1.80, but YOU are #1 because a single result doesn’t mean much.  Players don’t get a ranking until 3 results.

    Check out the new standings!

    (Now watch Karl win a couple and I’ll have to recalculate all his opponents again)  :-)

    I’m going to repeat my caveat again.  I know absolutely nothing about several of these players who are starting to play G40 league games.  I need more data to more accurately classify several players who are new to the A&A.org scene…  When in doubt, I’m calling them tier 2 so that I can’t be off by more than 1 point per result, so players who have only played a game or two against someone who is an unknown to me and has very few results posted may not be ranked properly…
    For example, MiamiUMike just defeated Omega1759.  I don’t know anything about Omega1759, so MiamiUMike gets 2 points for the win.  Now Omega1759 might be the best A&A player on the planet, but I don’t know that.  Or he might be a total newbie so MiamiUMike just got 2 points when he should have got 1.  Or Omega is a fair-to-middlin’ A&A player and the 2 points is appropriate, I don’t know.  I never will know if Omega doesn’t play another G40 league game.
    That said, if Omega (for example) finishes a couple of games against other league players who’ve had some results, I think his PPG (and MiamiUMike’s) will get more accurate real quick like!


  • Hmm, appears I failed to attach the file to that last post  :?

    5 undefeated players in the league to date, and one player at 8-1. time for some slugfests!!

    oops make that 9-1.


  • I’m just getting warmed up…  :-)


  • Not for long getting pounded by allweneedislove.

    Uh oh!  Rally the troops!

    9-2 is still great.


  • I see a leopard has changed its spots.

    Allweneed bought 3 tanks with India and 1 with USA, after writing extensive essays disparaging them.  He was so upset about the cost rising to 6 that he said no one should ever buy them.  Seems he’s learned something since then.

    I told you so.  :-D
    So, what beautiful attribute of the tank made you buy them, allweneed?  Blitzing ability?  Strongest land unit?  Fear factor?  Transport efficiency?
    Couldn’t have been because of limited production capability, because you purchased them with USA and India (I think you still had a major in India).


  • He has 20+ bombers in my game. I wouldn’t say he’s tank-heavy.


  • @Jeff28:

    He has 20+ bombers in my game. I wouldn’t say he’s tank-heavy.

    No, it’s not about being tank heavy, it’s about buying ONE SINGLE TANK AT ALL.
    You see, allweneed bashed tanks so hard he said you are wasting your money to EVERY BUY A SINGLE ONE.
    So the fact that he bought 3 or 4 is quite a change of tune.  :-)

    I PM’d him before writing that, but I couldn’t resist because he so boldly spoke out against tanks and didn’t say that he agreed with a single one of my points that tanks are still quite relevant and the purchase of tanks can be wise and prudent.

    Looking over your game quickly, makes me interested in playing you, Jeff.  Looks like you’re a good guy to play with

    I think tanks are priced just right. They were too cheap at 5 bucks

    allweneed could feel he is sufficiently ahead to start buying some luxury items


  • Yes he is beating me like a redheaded stepchild.

    I’m always up for a game Gamerman, PM me a bid. I probably owe you one too Boldfresh although I’m not ready for primetime probably as you both seem way ahead of me strategically.

  • @Boldfresh:

    Good thought, but it was like round 5 and 6 and around round 4 he was saying he was probably going to lose because of the dice.

    So I don’t think so.


  • Allweneed responded to my question.

    He said he didn’t buy any tanks until after round 9.  So I downloaded the game and double checked.
    He indeed bought a tank at India in round 5, and 2 more in round 7.  It was only the tank with the Americans he bought in round 10….

    He said he bought them because of damaged factories/limited production.  This is interesting, because it is one of the many reasons I gave him, a year or two ago, why tanks were not extinct (or RIP as he put it).

    Seems he took my advice without admitting I had a good point.  He is interested in a challenge game with me to demonstrate our different opinions, but I’m not starting new games just yet.  So stay tuned.
    IIRC we had a challenge game about a year and a half ago.  I think it was about buying tech.

    Anyway, we probably shouldn’t talk about people or ideas too much in this thread.
    Here are updated standings.

    By the way, we have a new player on top (since some of you seem to be ignoring the # rankings and making a big deal out of players who’ve only played 1 or 2 games!).
    Hint: He argues against tank purchases, but buys several himself.

    allweneed is not on top because he does not have the required 3 games under his belt…  :-P

    hey allweneed - you up for a game?  i can give you number 3.
