Also, I anticipate a very new system will be rolled out, but of course it will wait until 1/1/24.
-
gamerman01 I am 100% happy with what YOU decide.
-
This is where the action in the league, on revamping the old rankings system is.
This morning I just saw a whole new outcome when 2022 and some of 2021 data was added, and now I know that this revamped system is coming to all of us in 2024. Further improvements will be accomplished during November and December.
-
We now have the data for all games since Februar 2021, more than 650 games.
Included are 140 PtV games played.
Interestingly the Axis have an even higher win% in PtV than in the other types.
I guess statistically we should stop giving Axis bids and play PtV with no bids or even Allies bids.
And balanced mod is properly named, having almost a 50:50 split with the current average bid of +18.7!
-
My sense is that PTV is most balanced game because it takes only a small bid to make the game even or fair for both sides. The ideally balanced game would not require bidding at all, and PTV seems to have a chance of achieving this.
-
@MrRoboto Also surprised to see the average bid in PtV is only -6.6, I thought I was seeing a lot more 9-12 bids than that. However there were several 0-bid games from Regularkid and Adam514 that might have skewed the average down while the median is probably 8 or 9.
-
It has come to my attention that there is a new map with new sprites for G40. Indeed, the Balanced Mod 4 with 14 IPC bombers and Vichy ruleset is included.
I don’t know how much it’s been played and there could be bugs. My understanding is you can’t load up the game that you are playing right now, but you will start a new game to play this.
UHD World War II Global map in Triple A
Look under the experimental tab.
I think you need 2.5.22294 to see it, can’t use a .6
That’s AFAIK for now
It looks awesome, or if nothing else, a new look after all these years! If I had time to start a new game with someone, I WOULD, but I don’t!!
So it kinda kills me you will enjoy this before I do, but I will do my duty to fellow gamers and let the cat out of the bag!A feature that quickly grabs my attention is bigger islands. Should be great.

@barnee @gamerman01
Wow that is gorgeous! -
@mr_stucifer :) yes @Black_Elk did an outstanding job. It took me a couple games to get used to some of the new Frostion units, but now I don’t even think about it :)

Go to
https://github.com/triplea-maps/uhd_world_war_ii_globalKlick on the green “code” button:
Now - in the window that just opened - click “Download ZIP” to download the zip-container of that map.
Move the downloaded zip-file to the “downloadedMaps” directory of your TripleA installation.
After that start TripleA. The zip-file will be extracted and the map will be available from the “Select Game” dialogue.
Enjoy!

This is wide as triplea go for a look. Still missing some of the USA lol.

Here USA . And that is last one. ) Don’t want to spam league :)

@gamerman01 you can use them if your keyboard supports it (like from mobile) 🤓
I use emojidb.org when on desktop to copy (it seems like the most user-friendly one I’ve found so far)
At work I found out by chance that “Win + .” is also offering some! It doesn’t work on my laptop, however.
-
@barnee First of all thanks.
It’s certainly a fresh look and having options is always great!One thing I noticed: Sicily seems connected to mainland Italy.
-
Please let us discuss specialites about that map in its dedicated topic:

… just to prevent from splitting discussions to different places all over the forum.
Thank you. :-)

One more thing for the statistic nerds:
In BM4, bids are going up for the allies and we see the axis-win% coming closer to 50%… but we’re not there yet.
Players, accept higher bids! ;-)

Every year there’s a jump in Axis win % midway between Jan and July, I wonder why.

Oh wow, digging back into old league records to record all-time data for ELO rankings, I found -
@djensen the boss of axisandallies.org played games in the league when G40 was new!! 😃
Whatcha think about that?
