Congratulations to JDOW, back to back champion! If you can beat Me1945 and Adam both, you are the champion. So even with a free win in the middle because Axis-Dominion dropped out, it’s not a cheap championship!

Great to have Adam participating in the championship game - you are etched in the permanent history of the A&A league as the runner-up (in the history stickied thread)

Congratulations also to JuanSpain and Axis-Dominion on playoff wins!

And congratulations to BobbaRossa, Farmboy, Oysteilo, and Me1945 for qualifying for the big dance! Did we really get all of that wrapped up in less than 6 months? I think that might be a record!

@surfer said in Carrier escape from kamikazi:

BTW, how is the scramble any different than kamikazi? Neither are in play at the time of combat movement. There is no combat in either case–only the defender’s option to combat.
I would think if you could avoid combat from scramble, then you should be able to avoid combat from kamikazi.

Krieghund’s reply:

A scramble forces a sea battle, while a kamikaze strike does not. A kamikaze strike is a single attack against a single unit, not a full-blown battle.

Great, thanks for the reply, I’m relieved because I don’t want to sound critical or complaining. Especially when someone made a work of art, putting lots of hours into it.

Is all meant in the spirit of constructive criticism. I’m trying to only bring up things I think are significant -

Happy gaming,

Rankings up to date

And for anyone wondering, I do plan to play a league game again after 3/31.

I only completed 1 game in 2018, and last championship won was 2014?? Time flies. I’d better get back in it so I can still answer questions and adjudicate matters fairly!

I hesitate to post because I don’t want to cover yours up.

I would only add that London can definitely fall in certain situations and the Allies be fine, or it could even be a good thing for the Allies. Assuming it doesn’t take many rounds for the allies to get London back.

If Germany loses too much in taking London, too many ground, too many ships, and/or too many air, Russia can usually become an unstoppable monster.

A quadruple heart to your post if it allowed me!

So pretty!
Of course it took several rounds to get past the “why am I playing this against a strong player in competition that counts in the records forever” but
I’m only about halfway through the first game and I’m getting pretty used to it.

TRY IT! And don’t give up easily

AD, I can ease the suffering a bit by giving you 2 points for ABH instead of 0, since he was tier 1 a few years ago. In case he doesn’t finish 3 games this year…

Hey, koala is atleast tier 1, likely E, but maybe won’t finish 3 games this season either. Just sayin’…

See, AD, I risked opening this can of worms by making an exception for you. Hope you’re feeling the love

Is page 14 in Europe 2nd edition

Guys, I’ve been playing UHD, in my first game still, in round 7

Is this the right thread to post feedback?

On the UHD map, it definitely appears that Sikang borders Afghanistan but it certainly should not.

Thanks…

Struggling with Pacific sea zones but otherwise really like the map.

Yeah… From Borneo to the Solomons to the Marshalls to Okinawa - in that box I really struggle.

:blush: Thanks, yes it is, just wanted to offer a little historical perspective since I’m getting to be an old grizzled veteran, here…

@GeneralLeRoy Great and interesting post -
If you didn’t notice it, go down a few posts where I posted about the league - maybe 1 of your guys would be interested.
Plenty of G40 veterans there
It is really cool you moved on to G40 and like it.

And if you’re unsure of any rules, there is a thread dedicated to that here

And as to your great point about USA liberating far east Russia… maybe more incentive for those Russians to stay put and watch their post if USA isn’t allowed to come bail them out!

@barnee I see why @oysteilo was asking about Colombia to zone 89,

The UHD map currently shows a large border between Colombia and Zone 89 and definitely should be corrected, thanks!!!

It’s also pretty nice to be able to see who’s played who, and who won, and every year separate, with a clean slate each year…

@TANK78 Have you played online using Triple A?
Once you can do that, you can play individuals on this site, play by e-mail, or coolest of all, play in the league on this site.

Proposal B is my opinion too. After playing 1 (very) competitive game of PtV as Japan (shoot, kid was my partner so he knows all about this) I strongly believe the rule should be limit 3 planes, same as Airbases. As others have said, is consistent with land airbase rule, and going to supercarriers departs from all other A&A games, where for 40 years carriers carry 2 planes, so would make PtV depart even more from other versions and make it that much harder to switch back and forth between versions.

To me, the unlimited carrier scramble rule (1 per carrier) was the roughest edge of the game that I played, with no close 2nd.

No thick white border,
because there are beautiful thin black borders everywhere. I checked my globe, and yes Black Elk is way too correct.

I agree, change Colombia’s border with Venezuela in a way the Colombia does not touch 89.
Perhaps changing the shape, or moving Central America so that it ends up touching South America a bit to the east may be a lever to pull. But the shape of Central America as it is now, looks so beautiful. To agree with the boardgame, just gotta give Venezuela a bunch of Colombia, yes

Great ideas and thanks for the affirmation, Dizz

My biggest work deadline of the year is this week, but I hope to play China and UK this weekend - (I shouldn’t have to work too many hours on my job this weekend)

Thank you -

My understanding of the purpose of the league:

A way to play A&A with a large group of players that you become somewhat familiar with
A way to have an official record of your games accumulate so you can see where you stand among your fellow A&A fans
A way to find games with players who you can size up (know their skill level) even without knowing them
A way to measure your progress as you get better at A&A
An organization that keeps players together so you can play certain players repeatedly over months/years of time

There’s probably more, that’s just off top of my head
