League General Discussion Thread

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_Captain

It 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

Amon

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

@gamerman01

Is the league still strong?

It is weaker without you. But I am having trouble getting wins.

@simon33

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.

@gamerman01

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).

@Karl7

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 😅

I never understood People who played battle map

I played early versions od triple a, and no matter how imperfect it was, still much better then battle map IMHO

One of these years I’ll get someone here to play a game of AA50 with Abattlemap.

Loved Battlemap! Was very sceptical of this tripleA thing at first.

@gamerman01 is Darthmaximus still around? I think its been 15 years, or more?

@666. What about cow?
