@discalced made 1 ger edit to move those 2 inf in finland to norway…let me know if thats ok…just now caught it…sorry.

all good

I’m looking forward to my first tournament.

@DoManMacgee

my convoy builds are 4/4/4 all infantry

@AdmirlScuttlebut

Yes for history I like this idea. I also like the idea of a Caucasus territory to separate Sevastopol from Mesopotamia, though I would make it a low value starting Russian territory. I think from a historical narrative standpoint its frustrating that the main UK offensive always comes from India, rather than from Egypt as historical.

However this would be a pretty big balance hit in favor of the Central Powers. The UK does start with a transport/BB/CA off India in both the OOB and tournament setups, but no naval base to repair or build more naval units. There is one more transport in Eastern Med that is available. This starting naval force would probably have to be increased or the Ottoman starting setup weakened to make this viable.

I would personally say Switzerland should get the same permanent neutral treatment as well… in fact you could make a case that none of the true neutral nations were ever seriously considered as invasion targets during the war.

If I’m honest though… even if someone came up with a pretty good set of rules for this I probably would keep playing with the regular tournament rules. I just like the flow and balance, even if the history is pretty imperfect.

Hi

Idk but maybe @Midnight_Reaper does. Unless I confused him with Midnight Express. Sorry if I did :)

I have been summoned. HBG should have sent you an email with a link to download your files. If you haven’t received that email, HBG customer service has always been good to me. If you have trouble reaching them, they do monitor their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/HistoricalBoardGaming/

I hope this helps.

It wasn’t a waste of time, though it did take awhile since I wanted to be clear and fair.

And thank you for your thoughtful reply and respect and restraint.

League playoffs have this risk, and they always have. You are playing someone you didn’t choose to play. Any disagreements, from bid rules to common variations are dictated by league rules. Every single time.

There was a year or two when the balanced mod was gaining steam and OOB and BM coexisted in the same standings. OOB was quickly becoming a minority. But if you were in the playoffs with someone who actually insisted on OOB, well, all your BM skills and experience were forfeit and you had to play OOB because it is the default.

Again, league playoffs always have the possibility of different expectations, practices, and preferences between two players colliding. There has to be a league default that settles it before the game even starts. Again, thank you very much and I’m glad someone else shared the pains of playing Boldfresh.

@djensen I would be cautious though. Currently there is a forum posting issue at the TripleA forum, would be a shame if this would occur at the A&A forum too.
