I agree with this. i think the scoreboard needs to be updated. It looks like gamerman was online like 2 moths ago. I think we have all read his post so we understand and respect. Nevertheless, maybe it is time to start looking for someone else. Personally I think f.eks @Adam514, @JDOW and @simon33 would be great people to moderate and keep scoreboards as they are skilled with the rules. But I am sure many other people would be capable too.

@oysteilo I’m seeing an issue with PTV USSR2. If Germany does a G2 and USSR declares on Italy, the 3 lend lease objectives don’t activate. They don’t specifically read that they are round 3 and later as in BM3. If they are still R3 and later, the text needs to be updated.

@aagamerz13 thanks for the feedback. The objectives panel has been updated in the current version of PTV to reflect that the Lend Lease only kicks in from round 3 and beyond.

@regularkid Thx. I’ll update the map.

@gamerman01 You have been a godsend to our game. I hope that all is well in your personal life – I understand firsthand when real life gets in the way sometimes. Thank you so much for your commitment to all of us for so many years, and I hope that you can come back to play some games with the rest of us soon.

Bids for balanced mod are going up and up. Noticing a lot of games at allies+16-22 and not seeing lots of allied victories. Interesting, I would think that a prudent bid at these levels would see a plane+sub for the med and perhaps a mech for Burma to stop a J1 DOW (If that needs to be stopped). The problem with a bid like this is that it changes the med dynamic a lot and makes it hard for the axis there IMHO. I thought the Scottish fighter was bad enough in that it discouraged the two fleet attack G1.

Don’t think that PtV is the answer either - with the change to partition SZ38 just don’t enjoy that map much. Possibly, axis strategies could develop in the future, like they have in OOB and BM, to the point that change makes sense but at present I don’t think it does.

Now I am wondering if we need a different or changed map for league games to be fun again. Or should we just think that the bid is part of the fun and you should decide where you want change the game dynamics at the start?

I think the bid has to be part of it. A positive is that it does give some dynamic space, making the game more varied.

@simon33 I think the bids are just part of the fun, and 22 is right now the price some players are willing to pay to play axis. I suspect in the long run, that will be a little high.

You are probably right that UK naval/air bids are the best (alhtough I’d probably emphasize the Atlantic including 91 which can reach into the med). And that makes sense since the only thing the Allies are certain of at the start is that Germany is at war with the UK and that is where you can minimize the damage the Germans can do the most. If you new with absolute certainty that your opponent was doing a J1, that might change things a bit. And that does reduce some of the variation in game play. It is probably an advantage of OOB with its bids of 50-60 that the Allies will end up spending that bid elsewhere too.

Yeah, with a 22 bid though you can do subs in 91 & 98 + ftr Malta. Which gives a coin toss in SZ91 if they go after it with 2 subs. With the bid I was suggesting there is a setback if the SZ91 CA is sunk G1.

Most probable attack is SZ91 will not be attacked though.

@gamerman01 is there allready someone who is interested in running the League as a Mod?

gamerman01

I haven’t heard from anyone who I think could do it, no. But I’m gradually getting better and have been able to keep up with duties so far.

The position is always open though - I’m willing to hand it off to someone who has enough experience and good reputation

gamerman01

I did not set a rule at mid-year on how many games for each version you’d need to qualify for the playoffs.

It looks like it should be 8 for balanced mod;
4 for PTV;
3 for OOB

Does anyone disagree with these threshholds? If you take the total number of games completed during the year by all players, and divide by 20, you get approximately these numbers. I also eyeballed the standings to see if it looked right - would qualify about the right number of players.

Glad to hear it - the past few years have been challenging for many, here’s to your continued improvement.

@gamerman01 glad to hear it.

farmboy

our others noticing issues with Marti? In all my games, some dice rolls aren’t showing up and they aren’t ending up in other folders either. Just not showing up.

majikforce

@farmboy Yep. I have had the same problem. They aren’t even in my spam folder.

farmboy

@majikforce good to know it’s happening to others as well. Will try to to let the mods know (if they don’t already)

simon33

It is working for me.
