I realize it splits the league up further when adding add more variants which does have drawbacks
that’s definitely a concern.

@gamerman01 I’ve been taking a break from League matches for a couple months learning G42 for Battlefront Dayton. Hard to switch back to the OOB/BM map when you’ve been spoiled on the PtV map for so long… :)
I do think G42 which is unofficially Larry Harris 1940 Global 3rd edition is very interesting to play especially given the constraints of live tournament play. Throwing empty carriers out as blockers and all-bomber buys are common round 4/5/6 moves depending on the pace of play.
after i got into ptv this year for the first time, i thought i might lose interest in bm but picking up a couple good challenging matches with farmboy has proven that totally false. bm (imo enhanced global) is here to stay, still very fun and can (for me at least) coexist with ptv for i would think a long time
-
for me, however, it’s much more about high quality matches than the quantity. there were many years where i would play 10-15 games concurrently, but these days i much prefer 1 or 2 high quality, very challenging matches.

@axis-dominion
3rd edition Global with a little redesign to incorporate the split-sea zone island groups and a couple other balance adjustments from BM/PTV (Sea Zone 36, NOs) would be a pretty good Christmas present 😅😏 -

I appreciate the thoughts and initiative,
It will take some pretty serious interest ala BM4 or PtV to get me to add another G40 map version -

It is a project I’ve been thinking about undertaking this winter and if I have willing test subjects… 😏😁😁

As it changes the start date, it is actually a variant, not a separate edition.

I gotta be honest, we just had by far the weakest month since G40 was in its first year. In November there were only 6 games finished across all versions, and only 1 in the first 6 days of December. Maybe everyone’s taking a break at the same time, and/or maybe the games are more competitive and longer.
But there’s still plenty of action, and the playoffs continue to have VERY strong players in all 3 versions.
Classic has been added as a tracked league version of the game, though it doesn’t seem to have really taken hold. I’m back into Classic some, and maybe when I’m finally done with a big double elimination tournament, I’ll continually have 1 going. Pretty fun to return to the roots after actually learning the correct rules, thanks to resident EXPERT @The_Good_CaptainIt seems to me that the games definitely last longer, and PTV just boosted that up (which is not bad per se).
As AD says
i ll rather play 3-4 high quality and competitive games, then 10 fast ones, one sided.
The high quality of the tournaments just proves that the interest in playing this game here over forum still exists :)
Tehnical part is also important, overall in this year the site worked fine , triple a is great, we have the community here that helps quickly about rules , some situations which players encounter and are not shure what can they do.
Respect for all of U that give their time for this great site and community

And it seems that Karl is absent for some time , so its logical that the number of games fell :D

Someone signed up for the 2025 playoffs today, which prompts me to announce that
Signup period for 2025 playoffs is open! Check minimum games played rules - if you have a “playoff spot” ranking in the spreadsheet that means you’ve qualified already. Qualifications must be met at the end of 12/31.
Signup must be in to me by 12/31, if I’m creating brackets 1/1 you generally won’t be able to enter the fracas of
First round of playoffs all happening January 2026!
Best way to sign up is private message me because your post on the forum could be overlooked

i know i’m not that good but i don’t see my name in the over all standings

@dawgoneit Thank you for saying something,
Players are able to change the views of the sheet.
The filter was on, so it wasn’t full.
Select “filter views” up there at top right and select “all players” or “only active players” and you should be there. -
@Karl7 said in League General Discussion Thread:
Is the league still strong?
It is weaker without you. But I am having trouble getting wins.

After the holidays, I will see where I am at time-wise and perhaps jump back in.
The last couple years I have been doing BBR, which people play via YouTube (don’t get me started) and in person.
BBR is wild, more like poker than chess. But you all would be proud, me and Gargantua when to a bunch tourneys in Atlanta and St. Louis and stomped nerds into dust.
Anyway, thinking of getting back to something more cerebral/serious.

Sounds like the tractor beam’s got you, I won’t even try to persuade because you’ve already decided
Who would have a chance against 2 A&A.org league veterans?

Once upon a time had a 1/4 victory ratio against AxisD. (That might be an exaggeration, LOL)
I joined the G40 league right when it started like in 2012? Back then it was all fast paced, ripping turns, cracking dice, completing like 30+ games a season. When the “good” players got in, the level of play shifted and you either slowed down and thought about your moves or you DIED.
I died a lot before I learned my lesson (sort of).
-
Back in 2012, we still used battlemap!!!
Oh man… the memories of trying to move 40+ mega stack and having the program freeze!
Yikes!

@simon33 point of view of a weaker player: Four years or so ago, you posted like five defeats during one single day. I thought: well, that’s my victim. And then you just killed me 😅
