@simon33 I’m glad you commented about AA50, I found them (your comments) very interesting. Thank you for mentioning you’ve never played it. Yes you can play it in TripleA. Yes, a lot of players were surprised that G40 did not keep the tech token rule.

It’s the bridge between G40 and the old games. Every A&A lover should at least play it some and be familiar with it in my opinion.

We play A&A50 a lot here in the Bay Area, so it lives on. Basically it has some of the feel of G40 without being too long etc.

Although that being said, A&A50 does have its warts, especially some of the crazy moves the map allows.

Being able to move the Japanese Fleet from FIC to take Cairo in 1 move is a head spinner.

Here is a question: assuming a three player game, the one player team could consistently invoke Loser’s Privilege in the hopes of getting rerolls if he loses knowing that his declaration of “decisive battle” can’t be voided.

I suppose the otherside would catch on after the first attempt at forcing a free reroll and just not appeal the decision on whether the decisive battle is really decisive or not and let the jerk lose. Why would you want to go on playing with that kind of guy anyway?

I suppose we could amend the code so that “a player only once per game can invoke loser’s privilege.” But then I could see someone getting up against make or break battles more than once a game.

Sadly good faith sometimes needs to be relied upon for good gaming, and no rule can totally safeguard against opportunism.

Or I guess we could add: “a declaration of decisive battle by a player cannot be retracted, and if that player loses the battle in question, he loses the game regardless if he invokes Loser’s Privilege, a successful appeal notwithstanding.”

I.e. you can’t cry wolf and then try to claw it back. Once you declare decisive battle, it’s victory or death.

Thoughts?

@karl7

First time playing Japan here. Much different than Japan in G40, LOL

@Argothair

Yeah, let me know when you are up for new game. We can switch sides or stay same.

Agreed, these games are more for fun, and I think I’ve broken out the battle calc like three times only.

Anniversary favors allies in Europe so heavily, i.e. in terms of NOs, that I don’t think KJF is meaningful. At best I think you try to keep Japan busy so it doesn’t go hog wild while you just smash Germany. But, I don’t know. Maybe there is a KJF in AA50 and I just haven’t found it.

Beer of the tournament

You’ll be back!

@taamvan said in "LOSERS PRIVILEGE":

@Karl7 @Argothair The first player must file with the Recorder of Rolls the Notice of Odds. If that player filed the Notice of Odds (sub 2), the other Players have up to fifteen (15) minutes after the decisive battle is declared to request that player file a Notice of Decisive Battle (sub 3) with the Recorder of Rolls.

If no Notice of Decisive Battle has been filed, the Contesting Player('s) assertion that the battle is NOT Decisive shall be conclusive. However, if the Notice was timely filed, then a simple majority vote of all players present (whether active in this game, or not) shall determine whether the battle was truly Decisive as contemplated in this Act, or not.

No flips conducted after a determination of non-decisiveness shall be valid. However, before the putative flip-right is manifest, a Notice of Appeal addressed to Magistrate Harris’ court may be filed. After such Notice of Appeal is filed, the Flip-advocate Player must remit supersedeas bond equal to 3 hours of contract cleaning time with the appelate court so that in theory, a full (but otherwise legally unjustified) flip could be cleaned up by hired contractors. Then, the flip may proceed as otherwise laid out in this Act.

In this instance I would file for a “Writ of Force Majeure!”

FLIP THAT BOARD!

@dicebot

ta dah!

@Argothair

Wow, toppsy turvy!

GG.

Balanced mod seems pretty balanced. Didn’t get the sense that one side or the other was totally dominating

@Karl7

I will try to get a post up on the results tonight with more pictures. Was up late traveling last night, so haven’t had a chance for a more thorough summary.

@Karl7

Sorry for edit, game crashed

@witt

But wouldn’t getting a move in be a great gift in and of itself?

@Argothair

Ready to switch sides when you are.

@simon33

wow! what?

you went for it!

My theory was that I could always retreat after one round and I’d still grab the benefit of the bombardments and killing a few land units into the bargain. Losing a few of my own land units didn’t seem so important.

You made out like a bandit!

@karl7

They gave you a good run for it! LOL
