[JuanSpain]

Yes!

[Me1945]

You got it. Solid play. Congratulation and good luck in the next games.

Juan’s pain!  Good game guys

[gamerman01]

Your reward is a match with Zhukov
Have fun with that  :-)

@Me1945:

You got it. Solid play. Congratulation and good luck in the next games.

Thank you. It was a pleasure playing a gentleman like you, great moves, elegant and fair play, steady pace, no controversy and concentration on game always. Every move versus you was challenging, and I was surprised many times by your punch combinations. Your quick moves always cushioned my most agressive onfalls. In the end it was a matter of patiente and PU effectiveness on very short pieces every round, a bit of luck, and not making a single mistake or compensating it inmediatelly. Really challenging as expected. Great satisfaction for me to win a game like this, versus the only player that did not loose in last year league. The game of course could have been yours (until round 12 I think), so I hope it provided fun for you too. Good luck in your next games too.

Thank you Bold! Some more fun to come in the play off.

@Gamerman01:

That is the best reward possible, fun continues. And a new huge challenge.

I have been almost out very long time and even game rules are changing as I have seen in my game vs Ghostglider and Bjergmose in XDAP2, what would you recommend to read in order to have an updated view on triple A engine and rules?

And another question, as I will continue to play very little, I am interested in the minimum number of games that you stablished this year, to be eligible for the play-offs and the league end date please. If it continues in 8, I think I will not make 8.

Many thanks

[gamerman01]

Have you read the “game notes” in Triple A?  Veqryn put in almost all of the errors that I noted, into the game notes.
Just use 2nd edition rulebook which is available online (let me know if you need help getting it) and the game notes to Triple A.

And if you take Allies against Zhukov, you’d better have a very high bid.

It’s still 8 games, but the league year is 14 months long this year.  November 15 to December 16 - to get us on a calendar year in the future.  You can do it!  Playoff games count toward this, so you will have at least 2 games right there.

If you have any other rule questions, just ask me any time or post it on the FAQ thread.
