Don’t play while tired (or drunk) - block out plenty of time without distractions - and there’s no substitute for experience…

Perhaps ask a player who’s had a lot of success to analyze one of your games and tell you what he would have done differently.

And don’t zoom in too much on Triple A - you need to be able to see a lot of the board at once!

Avner

Well thanks for the advice.

What is certain is that it is difficult to always apply the principles on the board.

Then maybe one is good in individual sectors but lacks the general vision (Rommel in North Africa even if perhaps someone else had to support him strategically …).

And rightly so many games are also lost due to distractions …

for 2021 league

gamerman01

It’s good you asked, Amon, others are probably wondering too.

There’s one league.
Four standings sheets - OOB 2nd edition, BM, P2V, and overall/composite.

8 games needed in BM to play in BM playoff
?? games needed in OOB to play in OOB playoff
?? games needed in P2V to play in P2V playoff

Number of games required for OOB and P2V will be determined around mid-year (like July) because then we will all know how much activity/interest there is in each of those. That leaves plenty of time for players to get the # of games they need to qualify if they want to play in those playoffs (about half a year)

Composite/overall standings is for everyone’s information, to help you size up your opponents and see where you stand overall. Standings within each version of 1940 A&A govern playoffs by version. Does that answer all questions? If not, please ask follow-up questions. I will update the official league rules someday, but this is the most hectic time of year for me.

Question. The US is amphib assaulting the Phillipines but a huge naval battle has to occur in sz 35 first. After 3 rounds of combat the US wants to retreat.

Is this a legal move? ( I believe it is)
Triple A keeps crashing every time the US tries to retreat. Is this a bug?

Thanks for any help. Load the last posted game file if you want to see what I mean

Yes you should be able to retreat to 34 and Triple A lets you select 34 and retreat, it just crashes after that point (for me also). Use edit mode to remove the units from both sides and to get the US units to 34

what happens with the tranny (and the land units he carries) in that case?

destroyed, or can retreat too?

trulpen

Also retreats.

Amon-Sul

@trulpen said in League General Discussion Thread:

Also retreats.

with land units or empty ?

trulpen

The amphi will be cancelled, since the sz would still be hostile, so the land stays on the tr.

TheVeteran

Is there any interest in including Young Grasshopper Tournament Edition in the league ?

OwenToo

@bretters not likely, because that version of second edition A&A is designed to be played by teams, face-to-face, and finish in a one-day session.

TheVeteran

@owentoo
@owentoo well to me it makes a lot of sense to play for the league playoffs and if it’s being used for play offs why not regular league play ? Have you checked it out at all?

axis-dominion

@gamerman01 and now we should be tied!

@axis-dominion

LOL! Dawg is King by a mile!

Whatever happened to Boldfresh? Stand up guy.

simon33

Podium finish for me, there you go. I guess the freight train in 2017 helped that one massively.

gamerman01

@karl7 Boldfresh is my nephew. He lives in Chicago. His wife wigged out when COVID hit last March, along with all that volatile BLM violence and political turmoil. She needs control over her circumstances and COVID and the political turmoil blew her lid off. She is adamantly against using mental health medication of any kind and she was out of control. She pretty much had to leave the USA for her sanity.

She left him and went back to Finland where she’s from. She took the 3 very beautiful small children with her. Boldfresh realized from wise counselors that if the kids were out of the USA for more than 3 months they could be impossible to get back. Recently, he told me that all the “sheep” (meaning the 3 kids) are coming home!! (To Chicago, where his parents also live)

He had also started a new business venture in Chicago that was intense but I don’t know how it is really going, and he had to deal with COVID too. So he has been really struggling, and I guess has not had time or the heart craving for A&A that he normally does.

So please, anyone reading this, PRAY (or think happy thoughts his direction if you don’t like the concept of prayer) for Boldfresh, and one day I believe he will return, better than ever and not as ornery.

The timing of your cry for Boldfresh is uncanny, Karl. Maybe his story could be an inspiration for a book that you write, and I think that some day you two should meet face to face, possibly to do this book. Bold predictions, I know, but all things are possible to those who believe. I can see these things happening.

I contacted Bold this week, requesting that he receive me to Chicago (about 5 1/2 hour drive one way for me) and he was open to that. He couldn’t do this week, but I think the reunion between he and I will be happening soon and I am very, very excited because we grew up together. He is only 5 months younger than I.

Thank you, everyone, we have a GREAT and very positive community on these forums!!!

gamerman01

I just noticed! His picture has been updated and you can see his grin, with his 3 kids securely back to him!! Click on it and zoom in. Must be tied to his facebook account or something, I’m guessing. Look at that picture of him and his 3 gorgeous kids and think happy thoughts his way - PLEEEEEASE!!!
