2013 - AAG 40 League

    @Gamerman01:

    Jenn, don’t look now, but your inexperience with G40 is showing.
    I did specify, quite specifically, that I did not know of some uber strategy that resulted in ANZAC controlling Rome or Italy.  I didnt say it was impossible. lol

    ANZ can (and has) quite easily take control of Persia, Iraq, and/or Saudi Arabia (I have taken all 3 with ANZ in a single game v. PGMatt), all of which support IC’s and are on the ocean so can build transports.
    Sounds like England should have been left to do this, but again, I never claimed to have superior knowledge of the game.  I admit freely that all I have is a copy of the rule book from which to make rulings and that my actual GAME experience is severely lacking.  I have, what, like one game of Alpha 3 and two games of second edition (one isn’t even done yet and the first was due to misreading the game board and tripleA as much as it ever was to niavette’.)  Give me time, I’ll figure out a strategy that hinges on ANZAC landing infantry with ANZAC controlled Aircraft from their own Aircraft carrier to take Berlin.  It may take me a few more months, but I am the queen of the unexpected strategy!

    So ANZ going between Italy and Germany is quite significant.  Also, it doesn’t take ground units to be very significant.  As I tried to explain, ANZ can quite possibly air strike Italian tanks and mech, and that often is enough to stop the can opening right there.
    My personal experience with ANZAC currently is identical to my experience with Japan in classic before coming to these boards.  Wow, what a waste.  I later learned differently, and I fully expect to have a strategy that makes full use of their abilities - maybe.  If I don’t, as I said, give that to someone else.  ATM, however, my personal OPINION is that France is far better suited to interjecting between Italian and German rounds by using that one transport to attack and sink Italian ships before German ones can rendezvous with them.  Just my OPINION and I admit that it’s not fully set in concrete, hell, I dont even have the concrete poured yet. :P

    Of course, I understand you were on the WRONG END of a nasty can opener recently, so again, I think you are commenting an awful lot for having so little experience.
    When a can opener is used on you, there are no RIGHT ends.  Although, I contend that had I had more units between Germany and Moscow in that game, i would have won.  Then again, I contend that I can attack Berlin with 1 infantry and no matter what defenders you have, I have a statistical CHANCE of winning.  So take my former comment with the latter in mind. hehe

    Few of us are thinking in terms of what it was like before the AA change, because we have played so many games since then.  And by the way, the AA change is highly unpopular with many.
    All change is bad.  Even when change is good, it is bad.  Don’t believe me?  Sit in the cafeteria you eat in daily, but do it in a completely different spot and at a different time.  See how many people look at you funny!  You could use it for good, to meet new people, but no, it’s BAAAAAD!


    @arathorn:

    Not only can the middle east be taken by ANZAC, but with a either a bid of a trannie to NZ, or by moving one there R1, Brazil can be taken with ANZAC in one move. I have seen quite the frustrating game with Anzac with IC in Brazil. If Anzac gets bit of money from the islands if Japan is under pressure, Anzac can come in as a can opener in Europe via Brazil as well.
    Yummy.  I like that idea!  See, already 1 step closer to having an ANZAC dependant strategy for taking Berlin and Rome!


  • The RIGHT end of the can opener is to be the player doing the opening of the can.  Obviously.

    If you are the queen of unexpected strategy, that means you are married to Boldfresh.

    Yeah, you’re one step closer to having the ANZAC strategy for taking Berlin and Rome…. by climbing on someone else’s shoulders…

    Tha’s not the right side, the right side of a can opener is not to engage in something as seedy and despicable as can opening. :P  (yes, for those that don’t know, that would be a JOKE, okay?)

    We need a sarcasm font, I swear!


  • You can do this <sarc>sarcastic comment here</sarc>

    Or on the A&A boards…. [sarc] [/sarc]

    Jenn did you attend the same comedy school as me1945?


  • Man, I would try league if I did not have to worry about the play by forum hassle of entering the info and e-mail addresses.  Would definitely like to play live games and save them for later dates.

    Just have your opponent set it up
    I have rarely had to do it myself - the other guy is usually eager


  • Have the rules been revised allowing players to play each other more than twice and it count in the league standings? I know you can play a 3rd if there was a 1-1 split, but what if you’re 0-2 against someone?

  • '18 '17 '16 '11 Moderator

    Yes, it’s best of five now.  So as soon as you get 3 wins against an opponent, then you have to stop.


  • Awesome, thanks

    @seththenewb:

    Awesome, thanks

    Null perspiration, chummer.  That’s what I am here for.  It’s not to win games, lol!


  • <cough>IF you have completed 13 games against 5? or more opponents

    Jenn, come on, you make up the rules - at least repeat them accurately please

    Eligibles for best of 5 are highlighted in blue on my spreadsheet.  Also, apparently you (Seth) have not read the color key at the bottom of the spreadsheet, which is at the bottom.

    You have played 13 games and are highlighted in blue, so you can play anyone best of 5.
    You can even play more than that and I will record it along with the points, but it will not count officially for playoff purposes or posterity (if Jenn saves her final official rankings or something)</cough>


  • 6 opponents


  • @Gamerman01:

    Sorry, that was an unintentional mistake to say it twice

    By the way, IT’S AT THE BOTTOM

    Lol, see, you to can have issues with your posts!

    Yes, you have to have all the prerequisites to be able to expand the number of games you can play your opponents again.  It’s an effort to give everyone a chance to play you.


  • So if U have more than 13 games played

    the max number of games per player is 3 games unless the score is 2-1?


  • @Amon-Sul:

    So if U have more than 13 games played

    No, if you have more than 12 (or 13 or more, in other words) games played, then you can play someone until one of you has 3 wins.

    So it is possible to go 0-2 against such a player, and then win the next 3 and be 3-2.  After that, games are not officially counted by Jenn (but I will still count them, unofficially  :-D)

    Thats what i sadi. So 3 games is the max , but if the score is 2-1 after 3 games then U can have it more. Like tenis match in grand slam hehe  :lol:

    Ok, god i have it confirmed i thought until recently U can play 5 games ehhe


  • “Best of 5” means you play until someone gets 3 wins, because then they have won more than half of the 5 games.  Is that maybe where things got “lost in translation”?

    “Best of 3” means you are done at 2-0, because someone won more than half of the 3 games already.


  • i did not know it was best of 5.

    i read somewhere here that is 5 games. So that is what led me in the wrong direction.

    Thanks for the information :)
