OOB: Trulpen (Axis) wins against Martin (Allies +30)

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36334/l21-1-trulpen-x-vs-martin-a-x-oob/151?page=7

I am happy to have played my first league game ever :-)

That is a fair point. I would love to see the colors of each nation’s units be significantly different. Oversight mistakes are just awful.

I would not go so far though as to limit the reach of planes on allied aircraft carriers. This possibility is giving an advantage to the Allies, as it will hardly be applied by the Axis, but as it was stated before, this is kind f evening out the advantage of the Italian can opener.

Congratulations to both of you!

@simon33 this post must have hurt :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Yes - welcome! :-)

I see it like @FlyingBadger : I’m not sure I 100% understand what is going on, but it’s all fine with me. I don’t care who I am crushing, and I also never remember the names. LOL ;-)

@Myygames and myself have finished the bidding, and he is already shivering, but we did not start playing yet.

Let’s maybe clarify the rules for next year’s Playoffs to avoid this kind of hiccup going forward.

Just let me know who I shall play against, and it shall be all good.

Haha, I really feel stupid. The only way for me to avoid any doubt is to just beat them all! :sunglasses:

My personal statistics are: The Allies win when the others are playing them, and they are losing when I play them, LOL

ABH (X) vs Martin (L+34) OOB Playoffs

ABH wins over Martin - good luck in the next round!

Maybe we should move this discussion to another thread.

What really pisses me of that these expensive boxes come with not enough pieces, and some game versions even come without paper money! They save some 50 cents production cost assuming that everyone has money from other A&A versions that they can use. If A&A wasn’t such a great game, that would be enough reason to boycott this board game series.

@Panther thank you ever so much! I installed version 2.6.14366 - and choosing casualties and continuing worked!

There were actually numerous hits by the Allies, so I am glad that I only tried locally, LOL :joy:

And yes, going forward I will assure to play the same version as the opponent and not upgrade during the game. It was just too tempting, this time, as it allowed for automatic forum posting from TripleA.

I can finally confirm - the issue is solved with TripleA version 2.6.14435

Thank you again everyone for getting involved - I love this community! :-) And special thanks go to Panther!

@gamerman01 @Sovietishcat @FlyingBadger

Sovietishcat, Gamerman is right, and the chances are that FlyingBadger will win. Would you still be willing to wait until Monday (7/31) to lean about your opponent in the Playoffs?

@gamerman01 once Trulpen played 11 games in parallel and complained that it was not his turn in any of them, LOL

I just discovered that the German A&A Club gave medals to certain players, for example to league or tournament winners, and ribbons for players who played 50+/100+ games etc.:

I think that would be fun. Of course this would need to be kept up to date like the trophies for gold patrons near the profile name or in the league table, so I am afraid this is not realistic. Just an idea…

@MrRoboto thank you for sharing. It all looks quite equal with the exception of OOB, where the Bid should apparently be higher.

@MrRoboto it looks like your WW2 lasted until the 80s 😁

I am also strongly in favor of an annual tournament with only one bracket. This should not be an issue with OOB and PtV in the near to mid-term future due to the relatively low number of participants.

We can work a lot with byes, with top seeded players only joining in round 2 or 3 and the defending champion only in the semi-finals, for example.

At the same time, we could make the days-per-turn rule stricter in the first one or two rounds of the Playoffs and say two days per turn for round 1.

Of course, you can still ask for a break in case of business trips, sickness or whatever, but this should shorten the first Playoff round(s) by a few weeks.

Thank you all for your work by the way!!

Here it is:

Speaking about different TripleA versions: I think it is a good idea and habit if we would also mention the version number, when we start a new game and post the new topic.

That way it will be easier for followers to load and look at a certain savegame now or later.

Posting not only “good luck and have fun” but also the TripleA version number and ideally the bid spending should be beneficial
