2015 League General Discussion Thread


  • @Gamerman01:

    And yet people continue to try…  :lol:

    I know this isn’t the thread for this but it seems so odd that liberating France by the allies is such a negative for the them. IMHO, it is a major flaw in the game.


  • Not as big a negative as it might appear.  I’ve liberated it multiple times

    Does anyone know if there are any conflicts between starting a game in TripleA version 1_8_0_3 and updating to the new version 1_8_0_5?  I just wanted to make sure there were no issues before changing versions during a game – that or I’ll just use the old version for the old games, but sometimes remembering which is which is way too complicated for me…


  • i switched mid-games and so far no issues whatsoever.


  • Yeah, it should be fine.  It has been with updates in the past…  I think it detects version when you load up a game and loads the appropriate engine version

  • '20 '16 '15 '14

    Cool, I’m going to start using the new one then.

  • '20 '16 '15 '14

    Update:  I can safely say that the new version works about 100 times more efficiently on my computer than the old one – kudos to the creators for that!

    I would agree… looks like a nice improvement by Veq et al.  Nice work gentlemen.


  • That’s 100 games in the books, in 67 days

    Axis and Allies are knotted up with 50 wins apiece.  That’s right, it’s 50 to 50

    That won’t last!

    Russia will reign supreme upon the fields of honor, vying with Italy for control of the world!  Oh yea, and GO FRANCE!  (Just once I want to see France to take Berlin it would be so epic!)

    With enough US bombers and Italy out of the picture, France can take over whatever she wants….  :-D


  • France can’t win shit without Napoleon. And he is long dead.
    Three cheers for the Iron Duke. Is the 200 year anniversary of Waterloo this year.

    I am surprised the Allies are 50/50. I can see how the Axis have the edge.


  • Bids have grown about 40-50% since last year

  • '18 '17 '16 '11 Moderator

    So what’s average bid now, Gamer?  That’s a demographic I’d love to know!


  • Just looking at one page of current league games, you can see it’s about 16

    that’s a demographic I’d like to know too  :wink:

  • '20 '16 '15 '14

    Average bid above 9 (to eliminate outliers, such as zero bids) is 14.3.

    Bid of 15 and above: Allies have 16 wins, Axis have 24.
    Bid of 14 or less:  Allies have 35 wins, Axis have 25.

    (I show a record of 51-49, but I think that’s due to a player counting a result and then “uncounting” it; I left it counted)

    What does this show?

    It shows that the less you bid for Allies, the more likely you are to win as Allies.  Meaning, the results have no meaning.  :P

  • '20 '16 '15 '14

    Of course, a better answer is that bid results need to be adjusted for skill level of the players….


  • i am absolutely psychologically traumatized due to my totally abysmal aa and interceptor luck…i can’t seem to get any hits against those of my opponents who are bombing me…wheatbeer has been terrorizing me every round and i miss almost every time, and just now he bombed me with 5 japanese bombers and i had NINE opportunities to down one of them (with aa or interceptors), and i missed every one while he got an interceptor hit on me out of just 3 of those bombers (2 of them were not in a dog fight)! that’s pretty much been the story the whole game…and then in my current game against artofwar it’s probably worse, as i’m currently 1/21 on interceptor/aa hits, whereas he’s 4/7!!! i’ve had about similar results vs other opponents like roboto and jww so far this season

    anyone know what i can do to get over this?? i’m seriously traumatized by this…when aa doesn’t work how am i supposed to win? i’m considering giving up my games at this point, or maybe taking a long vacation from aa in hopes of having this curse fade away

    i seriously think there’s something really broken with the sbr in this game, especially the rules surrounding intercepting…like how the hell can a larger and bulkier bomber dog fight with a more maneuverable fighter? and why can a strategic bomber attack in a dog fight whereas a defending tac bomber can’t?


  • Couple thoughts, axis

    If your opponent has anywhere near the same level of skill you have, does a lot of SBR, and gets lucky, you pretty much can’t win.  I learned that lesson years ago.

    Second, there is no such thing as a curse - each roll is a new independent roll.  And if it makes you feel any better, I’ve rolled a lot of dice in Triple A and they seem appropriately random.  Sometimes bad stuff happens.  I know you realize all this.

    There are 3 different RNG’s though.  Are you using the first one?  It’s the only one I’ve ever used.  Triple A war club or something like that.

    You might need a break from the game and come back later.  Once it gets in your head, and it’s understandable that it would - it can start to cause you to make worse decisions as a result.  If you are gunshy, you won’t take the risks that might be smart to take, perhaps.

    Interceptors did use to roll at 2 in AA50 I believe.  I think they were reduced to 1 so that bombing raids would not be inordinately discouraged.  Also, there is the fact that all complexes now have AA guns whereas before (and in AA50) they did not necessarily.
