@surfer said in League General Discussion Thread:
Is the deadline end of this week (dec 28th), or Dec 31 to finish and qualify?
I’m sure @gamerman01 will confirm, but I think the deadline to make the required number of games is the end of December.

@gamerman01 said in League General Discussion Thread:
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 12/31I didn’t want to sign up too early as it would intimidate anyone else from joining.
-
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
-
@gamerman01 said in League General Discussion Thread:
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.
So don’t drink Tuesday night, roll dice and post a result!

@simon33 You have a lot more experience than me, but I think it depends on how you play and who you’re 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.

@dawgoneit said in League General Discussion Thread:
All of the above for me
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 don’t think it’s 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
I’ve 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 DON’T 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 can’t win if you do not play!!
Also noted, is GeneralD won PTV for 2022! He. could. go. all. the. way. -
@djensen
Don’t 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
IN
A
ROWAnd I think there were only 2 other back to back champions in the history of G40 play in the league.
That’s right, the 2024 playoffs hold the possibility of TWO
THREEPEATS!I’m talkin’ 'bout
@farmboy and @Arthur-Bomber-Harris
Balanced Mod and Out of the Box, respectivelyDon’t 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 can’t win A&A against top competition without being good and lucky, both!
But I do know a mathematical impossibility…
Yes, that’s right, we can’t possibly have General Disarray win Triple Crown, and also farmboy and ABH defend their championships!OK, I think I’ve hyped enough. It’s not easy to do by text. 🎲🎲🎲

You are pretty accurate here. Normandy adds some positive value to Germany/Italy but it also represents a pretty significant weak spot. It’s 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 can’t 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 Italy’s 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 isn’t 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. Shouldn’t 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. It’s 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 wasn’t 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.

actually nvm, you were specifically referring to a 3-peat, not 3 championships, which i would be aiming for

You are so good you have earned the right to be a little obnoxious.
As have I…
You give me the opportunity to say,
I am going for a 3rd OOB championship 🙄🤣😎 -
But I am most intrigued by the @GeneralDisarray storyline.
If the General hasn’t gone down in the other 2 brackets and if I’m facing off in OOB, you know, I may be tempted to not try as hard… 😂 -

Wow, I enjoyed your whole post!

Arthur-Bomber going for THREE champs in a row OOB
Farmboy going for THREE champs in a row BM
Axis Dominion says he’s going for 3 champs in a row total
And… your master of ceremonies is quietly (or not) trying to get 3 as well -
Chances of a three-peat for me is quite low. I have a tough first round and guaranteed to be the underdog in the final twice rounds. I would need incredible dice luck to get another crown. Would need some crazy bomber magic to get through this bracket. Previous years did not have such strong competition in my path to W.
Suggestion for future playoff years: reigning champ gets first seed in the bracket.
-
That is a great idea and I’ll think about it. This is the time of year for rule changes.
The life-time ELO dictating the seeding has flaws, and making an exception where the previous year winner and runner up get automatic 1 and 2 seems like a good idea. Can’t change it for this year though, rules were set last January. -

@gamerman01 well, Trulpen made it to two finals and one semi final in the 2021 Playoffs

Aaaaaright…
Dramatic late entries, seismic changes in the landscape.
We have @Stucifer officially and irrevocably entering the PTV fracas,
And @pacifiersboard is altering the course of history by splashing on the OOB and BM scene…
There are several hours left of 12/31/24… what more could happen? @MrRoboto ???
