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

@Martin

I played against Trulpen a lot.

He was a gentleman of the game, and a very good player and positive person.

Had he had cancer? Is this him in the Blue shirt? Have U known him in person?

I Will pray for him today.

God rest his soul.

@Martin

when U say he was controversial i suppose U mean the edit thing he had. He always did a bunch of edits not just after his turn, but even after the opponent played. He was polite and he asked if he can do it, and those edits were almost always something he forgot, not something he would do after he sees an opponents move, but still some people were probably annoyed by that.

I think it was because he was so unpatient, and played so fast , and so many games at a time.

@gamerman01 I think I know the big game of which you speak! And I agree that AA is underrated.

I’ll add that in large battles, even with the battle calculator average, adding AA (as long as they would be able to roll a die) is comparable to buying figs in terms of its impact. And since so many smaller attacks involve small numbers of land units supported by several air, having one AA in the mix really complicates the choices for the attacker.

That single AA in Caroline Islands has probably won some games for Japan.

other boosting (instead of lowering the cost and increasing the number of planes u can hit) of aa guns could be

• moving at 2 moves (like mechanized aa gun - maybe with a cost of 6 )
• shooting at planes that fly over the territory regardless if they are attacking it (especially in CM)

but i think that even if they stay on 5 IPC , its ok since u guys brought some good reasons for it

and my opponent in the last game, told me after the game finished, that until that game of ours, he didnt realized the importance of aa guns (he more or less thought they are of small benefit) -

P.S.i moved all the aa guns from UK and USA to Europe, bided 3 aa guns with UK Pacific, brought those from India forward, and bought several with UK in the Middle East

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

@oysteilo said in League General Discussion Thread:

@WindowWasher i think this is something that should be considered. I think the main reason is, sometimes these games takes FOREVER. What is the “record” to decide a new champ? 1.5 years? 2 years? Could be more stict on time and “always” honor the 72h limit

But i would vote yes to a 16 bracket for the championship. I think it is a good suggestion and will also create more interest.

24 is weird

16 is nice, since u have then 8, 4 , 2

Haven`t been here for some time.

Is the majority of games now played PTV ? Or BM and older versions are still stronger?

And one more question about bids in BM4. Have they changed much ? What are the average bids these days there?

as for bombers, i am playing a game against axis, the opponent bought bunch of bombers with Germany, even few with Japan. Maybe 1-2 with Italy too.

BM4 Fasthard (Axis) vs Amon-Sul (Allies +15)
@Amon-Sul over fasthard
Thanks and congrats!

Thanks fasthard.

I am glad I played against U , cuz U are a good player and gentleman of the game.

For others viewing just this one sentence Fasthard wrote I must say he was really close to victory, in the last round of the game he held 8 VC with Germany, but the Allies were able to pull one back in a 50-50 % battle.

So it was really close, but it had to prevail on one side.

Godspeed

@fasthard said in L25 BM4 fasthard(X) vs Amon-Sul(L+24):

@Amon-Sul me too. Since I haven’t played OOB for a long time (and never via forum) I prefer to play BM. Looking forward for our games in 2026!

I am thinking about a bid

IC Egypt
Dd Egypt SZ
4 IPC UK bank

Does it sound interesting enough :D

And i improve (not probe)

Autocorect xd sorry

Spare place:)

And i am glad i test (and i probe) my strategies against ur high level of play, u offer very few mistakes during the game

6 games behind us so far

The score is 3-3 (a tie)

Very competitive games we have

And i am glad i bring unorthodox play to ur games

I like it when the strategies i play are authentic but still with solid odds to win the game :)

I am on vacations and family time next few weeks

But we can start a New game somewhere mid January if uh have a spare plave :)

Cheers:)

I am looking forward to new games in 2026

I have some more different bid ideas that i havent tried yet

I even consider playing OOB

I hear they have bids with allies +40

Gives a lot of option and variety

I Will have to take Sweden with the Russians some other time :D

Great game

Very high quality, very intense and full of twists.

It wouldnt be undeserved if U won this game since u pulled two really good moves (India French dd thing + Spain SZ 91)

I think that the three crucial momenta in securing the allied win were

USA taking Korea
Russians buying tanks only in rd 4 or rd 5
And of course “tranny sacrifice” in securing Gibraltar

I think that the allies were persistent in containing Japan with constant pressure on Japanese land units
And the Russians were very agile, doing a pretty good job in helping the allies to win

Neutral crush was a brave and logical choice for U, but the allies took advantage of it in the long run…

@fasthard said in L25 BM4 fasthard(X) vs Amon-Sul(L+24):

@Amon-Sul I think it’s time to resing for the axis, since japan won’t be able to reach/hold the needed victory citys.
Congrats!

Thanks for the amazing game :)

@fasthard sorry

Didnt saw u posted the german move

Did the Germans took something?

Full scramble

Since we have posible dd sub issues

U can contact me round by round if neceserallY
