2017 League General Discussion Thread

  • Liaison TripleA 11 10

    Just want to clarify,  that is for the additional league playoffs?

    I still need 8 games to qualify for the League Champion playoffs?

    Any players who have completed 3 or more games, and who did not qualify for the League Champion Playoff may sign up to enter the additional league playoffs.  These playoffs will start with 4 or 8 players each, and will be seeded by PPG (with byes or play-in games as necessary)

    I am , thank you , Gamerman.
    Will PM you later . Funny, as I was going to do that earlier today!


  • @Gargantua:

    No, this is for ALL playoffs

    I still need 8 games to qualify for the League Champion playoffs?

    Yes.  The top 8 players who sign up and who have completed 8 games will be in the League Champion playoff automatically.

    Since I’d received 4 unsolicited signups already, I thought it was time  :-)

    Right so 3 games doesn’t do you any good, you need 8 games to qualify for league champion playoff.


  • 3 games gets you into playoffs, just not the main one

    Yes, you need 8 to qualify for the league champion playoff, 3 for the others

  • 2026 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15

    Yes 8 it is. Probably a good number. I completely applaude Simon, Karl 7 and others who finishes all these games. I have a fairly flexible schedule and will not reach 20

  • 21 20 19 18 17 16

    In my game vs Simon, we play with tech. The game doesn’t ask me to scramble, then I hit the ab with my rockets and it can’t scramble anymore. What is the correct rule here, can my opponent scramble or not?

  • 17

    Scrambling happens at the end of Combat Movement Phase (page 16, Europe Rulebook) while Rockets occur “During the Strategic and Tactical Bombing Raids step of your Conduct Combat phase” (page 40, Europe Rulebook).

    Assuming the airbase wasn’t already damaged to the point of being inoperative at the end of Combat Movement, your opponent should be allowed to scramble.

    This is also confirmed in TripleA’s in-game Notes tab under "Rules specific to 1940 the engine does not do, but you must follow’

    Thanks wheatbeer!

    Will the league use official rules with bid (2nd edition) or this is going to be a BM3 playoff?

    Or will it be left to player’s discretion (e.g., both agree to do BM).

  • 19 17 16

    It’s BM3 unless both agree otherwise AFAIK.

  • 17 16 13 12

    @simon33:

    It’s BM3 unless both agree otherwise AFAIK.

    That seems odd, everyone has experience with the official 2nd edition but only a subset has BM3 experience.

    I believe Omega1759 may demand 2nd ed With bid if he likes to, from the rules

    4 - Game & rules - The default rules are the published G40 2nd edition rules, Regular Dice (also known as ADS or Actual Dice Server), No Technology, and Bidding to determine sides. 
    Rules are available online here (Europe rules, then Pacific rules): http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/A&A_Europe_1940_2ndEd_Rulebook_LR.pdf
    http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/rules/A&A_Pacific_1940_2ndEd_Rulebook_LR.pdf

    4a The default game rules may be modified by agreement of both players.  Low Luck or Tech, with or without Tech Tokens, is allowed if you and your opponent agree prior to bidding.  Balanced mod (see stickied League section thread for Balanced Mod rules) or any other ruleset using G40 is likewise allowed if agreed by players

  • 17 16 13 12

    Now the question is whether ME1945 (he hasn’t been too active recently) and Adam514 get into the playoffs?

    The current roster is as follows:

    1. JuanSpain
    2. Rubioton
    3-4. JDOW / Omega1759 (tied in rank)
    5. Axis-Dominion
    6. Gargantua
    7. Farmboy
    8. Wittman


  • Now accepting signups for the 2017 playoffs
    All players who want to be in the playoffs need to let me know by private message or in the league discussion thread (this thread) and I will sign you up.  You will not be in the playoffs if you don’t sign up with me, even if you’re ranked #1.  This is because not everyone who is in the top 8 and would qualify for the league playoff wants to play, so you must sign up.

    You may see who is signed up by looking at the game results spreadsheet - I made a new tab.

    You need me to sign you up because I don’t want people to be able to delete someone else or any other funny business - it’s for everyone’s protection, you understand.

    League rules state that the only requirement is that you have completed at least 3 games during 2017 in league play.  All players with 3 games played may participate in the playoffs

    You must sign up by December 30 so that players may begin on January 1.

    Last year’s 2nd playoff champion (league championship game is in progress between RUBIOTON and ME1945) was Wittman, who advanced all the way from the PLAY-IN game!!
    Will you be 2017’s Wittman!?  You have to enter to find out  :-D

  • 22 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 12

    Just curiosity, is MrRoboto still the most games played champ at 70 in a league season?

    Also, Gamerman, you might want to correct the league champion stats.  There was a 2012 champion playoff.  Mistergreen won, with me 2nd.  I think that was the first official year of the G40 playoff.

    Back then the allies only got a 9IPC start! What chance did they ever have.

    Well, there were a lot of differences…… Berlin had a minor complex and not a major, and there was no complex in Ukraine (for the Germans to take), so that helped the Allies.
