I’ve been playing for a couple of weeks without outrageous dice results. Swingy but like a regular, in-person A&A game. Today, however, it’s been really bad. Super one-sided results.
I know that Beamdog ran experiments on PRNG algorithms last year at some point. Is that happening again right now?

Welcome to the 2021 Axis & Allies .org support drive. We hope you’re enjoying the new forums! :confetti_ball:
We do understand that’s it’s not perfect yet, but the new forums provide tons of new and useful features like mobile ready, chat, drafts for posts, better search, and more. On top of that we’re making changes and fixing problems every day to make it work exactly how you want.
Take a look at the migration to do list and the update log to see all the hard work that has happened and all of the tasks yet to do.
Hosting costs have gone up for the new forums. The monthly hosting bill is about 50% higher than previously. On top of that email costs have gone up; however, now you all are finally receiving all the email alerts.
This support drive will end on December 31, 2021 and the next one will begin in 2022.
Amount raised: $1596 ($2622.50 in 2019)
Number of 2021 unique patrons: 47 (60 in 2020, 90 in 2016)

Thanks!
If you get your badge and are not listed, it likely means I forgot so just send me a friendly reminder.
Go ahead and share those links to Shapeways.
@Marek-Sobski Good luck! Hopefully more than a few folks here are interested in the book.
@Young-Grasshopper That’s all it took and a few people never responded :shrug:.
The contest went fairly well. I still owe some folks t-shirts.
Just an update on the Support Drive. For various reasons, including slightly lower expenses, I’m not pushing it for 2020. However, 2021 will not be like that so expect an in your face support drive in early January.
I’m waiting to hear back from @666 and @baron-Münchhausen before I go to UPS and the post office. Given the pandemic out there, I’d rather not make multiple trips. If anybody knows these folks, please tell them to answer emails and DMs.
Thanks.
Okay everybody, just cool it. We’re here to have fun and while some competitive banter is allowed, you’re treading into waters where you’re violating the forum rules. So cooooool down.
If you feel like it, I (and I’m sure others) would love to see a photo of you enjoying your prize. Please feel free to post it here in this thread!
IWNGU, HBG, and Combat Minis prizes: our site sponsors have your shipping information and IWNGU is shipped.
Prizes shipped by me: Except for 2 of you, from whom I need more info, I have all the non-t-shirt prizes packed up and ready to ship.
T-shirts: this just involves me getting your shipping addresses and mailing out your shirts from Zazzle.

I am here! What do I do?
I sent you a DM. The only prize left is the Axis & Allies Online license. Do you want it?
And here’s what I’ve heard from Eric:
All the artwork and game piece files are ready, and now that things have returned to a little bit of normalcy (basically my whole production chain just up and dropped everything during the pandemic), things are starting to get back to normal. I hope by the beginning of the new year to have production rolling. I am talking to the factory now about starting production.
@Imperious-Leader I hope you don’t mind that I added the quotes to you post.
Rest assured our dutiful moderators will also get a little something in the mail too.
And I renamed the section to call it was it is, a gift of appreciation. I’ll likely be adding 1 or 2 more folks to this list.
I just sent Eric an email to get updates if he has any.
Yikes, I hope this guy delivers.
@Doug-Friend did you lose access to the @HBG account? If so, let me know and I’ll help you reset that password.
Rules change, I’m hand picking the last 2 maybe 3 (still have to wait a week for the last prize) @zooooma where are you?
@Karl7 said in 💭 Discussion: 20th Anniversary Give Away:
Man, I think I’m like the in the top 5 posters on this site! And I lost! LOL!
I’m not sure a free copy of War Room qualifies as “losing”. :laughing:
Also, each person got 1 entry, not 1 entry per post.
