You are eligible for BM playoffs postseason for the 2024 regular season, starting 1/1
This is the last week for signing up, let me know if you want in, by 12/31 -
I finished entering potential (current) seeding in the 2024 playoffs tab. Seeding currently is your rank among those who are currently eligible. Actual seeding for the playoff will be set after signup period is over.
We all have until 12/31 at end of the night (Like middle of the Pacific time, when it is 2025 for everyone in the world) to sign up.
I am very excited to see that in all 3 versions, almost all of the top players are already signed up. Although league participation is slowly waning as G40 ages, this is going to be a hot year of playoffs, I can assure you.

Man, I lost a lot of interest when I decided that Germany should just leave Normandy French. That stops USA from using the factory and makes defense much easier for the Axis. May be only one of many silly things in G40 but Balanced Mod does fix most of the other ones, like multiple plunders for taking capitals, SBR rules, propaganda bonus in Africa etc. Thatâs why I came up with the Parisian Rebalance but didnât seem like anyone was interested.

@gamerman01 i have 4 games in various states of winding down. Is the deadline end of this week (dec 28th), or Dec 31 to finish and qualify?

Iâm sure @gamerman01 will confirm, but I think the deadline to make the required number of games is the end of December.

I made a mistake, tagged several for BM who do not have 6 games completed. There are 12 eligible, and 7 have signed up, which is great. So there are 5 remaining, and really maybe 4 because Mr Roboto has been AWOL for a long time

@simon33 You have a lot more experience than me, but I think it depends on how you play and who youâre playing, regarding Normandy. The complex and naval base can be fantastic for Germany, and in my experience it is not a given that USA will take and hold Normandy
I also have a pretty good rework of G40 that I made when I was upset that it departed from AA50 (and other earlier global versions) too much, but I needed help from others to flesh out some of the core mechanics, get in working in Triple A, and play it to fine tune. Maybe some day.

Dawg, you are not eligible for BM because of 6 game minimum, but I put you down for the other two

With one day left for signup, for
Balanced Mod we have
1-2-3-4-5-6-8-9-10You know how awesome that is? Only @pacifiersboard at #7 is not signed up. It is rare to have 9 of top 10 signed up, I donât think itâs ever happened.
PtV we have 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-9-11-18
This is fantastic.
OOB we have 1-2-3-6-7-10-11-14
Iâve heard rumors from dark halls that there could be a late entry.
What? Like whoa! Sure, G40 mania is not as high in past years, as the game is about 12 years old now, but 2 mods by some of our very own league players has breathed new life, and
These are fantastic fields of players, spread out across our 3 versions!!! Seriously, this is awesome! Start your engines!
And keep an eye on @GeneralDisarray !
Has any man qualified and entered 3 versions, going for the TRIPLE CROWN?
I DONâT THINK SO!
Some have entered 2 of the 3, but no one has ever won two in the same year.
It is possible, at 972:1 odds, that the General will pull it off! You canât win if you do not play!!
Also noted, is GeneralD won PTV for 2022! He. could. go. all. the. way. -
@djensen
Donât forget, 2025 is about to start (lol), and it would be fantabulous if more league players like you would join us regular patrons in supporting the site, getting a beautiful and permanent badge on your name for every post, and also the perk of bidding first when facing lower or non-badge holders in the regular season.Normally the gentle ask/invitation is pretty prominent when you visit the site during January - keep an eye out! The amounts suggested are not high.

I almost overlooked!
The 2024 playoffs for the championships hold another unprecedented POSSIBILITY!
Folks, we have 2 back to back champions looking to go for
THREE

ROWAnd I think there were only 2 other back to back champions in the history of G40 play in the league.
Thatâs right, the 2024 playoffs hold the possibility of TWO

Balanced Mod and Out of the Box, respectivelyDonât hold your breath for the answers, because that could take about a year, right?
These guys are good. And these guys get the luck when they need it. You canât win A&A against top competition without being good and lucky, both!
But I do know a mathematical impossibilityâŚ
Yes, thatâs right, we canât possibly have General Disarray win Triple Crown, and also farmboy and ABH defend their championships!OK, I think Iâve hyped enough. Itâs not easy to do by text. đ˛đ˛đ˛

You are pretty accurate here. Normandy adds some positive value to Germany/Italy but it also represents a pretty significant weak spot. Itâs two spaces from the major factory and has a factory ready to go. If USA lands on Holland, they have to hold it for two turns before being able to build anything. Germany can probably ignore this threat (unless more than about 5 US TTs are in the Atlantic) and react if it materialises but it canât ignore the threat of Normandy with only a small landing force. Normandy earns only 2ipc which can be easily convoyed. Southern France can be similar to Normandy but it has Italyâs major factory next to it which needs a number of troops to defend itself. Also, leaving that French means planes can attack North Italy from a Gibraltar airbase and land on Southern France. I think leave Southern France French isnât a winning move at least in BM and probably not in G40. Relatively easy to defend that one unless Italy has already been neutered. It makes less sense to leave Normandy French in Balanced Mod because you can give up a USA objective if it puts troops on Holland or Sth France. Still this requires troops next door to an axis major factory unless someone is blitzing Holland and that allows Germany or Italy to pick them off. Sorry for the long rant.
Been playing online again and I would have to say that the league is great and Balanced Mod is mostly great. Online most people only play G40. At least if you start a league game you know the strength of the opponent unless they are a newbie. Shouldnât be any unintentional mismatched games. The play by forum takes a long time to play though.
There are a lot of other limitations in G40 which are improved in Balanced Mod and not the least is no propaganda for Soviet Africa. That is really silly. Also allowing Moscow to live a bit longer more easily really improves the game in my view. Itâs been weird to play G40 again and see how easily Germany can pick off Moscow G6. Stoppable but requires a lot of allied effort.
Some people hate the extra objectives in Balanced Mod for USA such as the North African and Carolines objectives and I would have to say I agree with this criticism. There wasnât a need for these changes nor for the penalty for Japan to DOW on USSR. The plunder changes also seem a bit meh in retrospect.
