I think that combat is created by kamikaze rather than the attacker.

I gonna be on vacation for one week from tomorrow on

@jacobgeo24

With not only an opponent and dice to manage but also a partner keen for kickstarting Italy and Russian armor it may be both fun and advisable if you suggest to bring them against Japan and have USA take more effort to support UK and Russia? Consider something fancy that can win once as general strategies discussed here mostly apply on 1v1-matches when you can make all Powers fit in? Play it bold, have fun - don’t rely on dice

@avner

shift = turn?

@trulpen
alright! thx for the gg! 👍

@trulpen

hey, I have concluded to allow it! Even more, I thought of a perhaps easier fix that I would like to offer if it matched your proper plans better: how about we undo sz112 attack so that UK planes can be brought to Novgorod. That should work too… just let me know, what you prefer. It is up to you ;-)

@farmboy

yeah, that is how I checked as well. And yeah, long live vichy this game :)

I don’t remember the song as it is a stream :)

@pejon_88

yet a poor GG, so GG on :)

@gamerman01

Alright, apologies for writing style (I am no native speaker and my writing in German also often reads weird ;)

Additionally, I had wrong premise:
@pacifiersboard said in Post League Game Results Here:

I don’t really know how the 2nd-bracket works - its winner gets a shot at winner of “1st-bracket”?

My suggestions had been based on that assumption. I hadn’t known this:

@gamerman01 said in Post League Game Results Here:

I keep 1st and 2nd brackets totally separate.

@gamerman01

thanks for your help!! your are cool :)

If we need your further advice with finding a solution, we will let you know

@myygames @crockett36 @gamerman01 @Krieghund

I saw your dispute by chance. At least it is also in the game notes:

“* (EM) If Russia is at war with Italy, but not with Germany, a German warship in sz125 will cancel Russia’s national objective (and same if at war with Germany but not Italy, and there is an Italian boat in sz125).”

@dawgoneit

gg - let’s consider a rematch when I dropped out of playoffs. I like your pace ☺️

@me1945 said in pacifiersboard (X) vs Me1945 (L +23) BM (2022 playoff):

@pacifiersboard
I am claiming the win due to no show up

Late, but I fully agree; game was lost together with the planes off Gibraltar.

GL furthermore in the playoffs!

@myygames and all

I really wanna do apologise, but obviously my gaming has not proved compatible with life… so I officially end this match by surrender here and now!

Cheers for your community!!

Thanks again, guys! Yeah, it is also about lessons from playing here: do it focused and steady! ^^ I am looking forward to the reward of life for all of us when we apply this 🎲🎲🎲

PS I: If I can find a slot I will be glad to have a decent, but more casual game via TripleA lobby

PS II: Has anyone got to know something about trulpen?

@Adam514 @gamerman01 and all

I have been doing my homework meanwhile and also want to share (and expose) my florilegium

@Adam514 said in G40 Balance Mod - Feedback Thread:

@oysteilo:
…

this means that marines can’t be loaded to warships if you want the warship to conduct only a naval battle (no amphibious assult)? However, if the warship was loaded in NCM in an earlier round the loaded warship can participate in naval battles without unloading the marine?

Exactly.

@gamerman01 said in G40 Balance Mod - Feedback Thread:

No, it can’t because battleships and cruisers act like transports (as it relates to marines)

A transport can’t be involved in combat and then unload in NCM, so a battleship can’t either

@Adam514 said in G40 Balance Mod - Rules and Download:

After much deliberation, the marine-kami rule will be the following: marines can unload from friendly cruisers/BBs and the cruisers/BBs are not subject to kamikaze attacks, nor do they stop the unloading.

Reason: should be a rare occurrence, so might as well take what TripleA does by default.

@Adam514 said in G40 Balance Mod - Feedback Thread:

[…] Ships can’t conduct combat and then unload in the NCM phase. If the Marine wasn’t already loaded though, you can’t load it on a ship if you aren’t conducting combat with the Marine. That’s the same rule as transports.

@Adam514 said in G40 Balance Mod - Feedback Thread:

@Misterblue Transport or ship can’t do anything else that turn if it did anything during the combat move phase (moving, bombard, battle).

Hopefully nothing outdated included.

@mr_stucifer said in Proposal for a new, ELO-based, ranking system:

So in the case of exactly even ratings, E(a) = 1.

However I could see this being an issue as that would make the winner get 0 points if I’m understanding correctly:

I read it as a multiplication but the formula is actually an Exponent, so having exactly even rated opponents results in an E(a) of 2, not 1.

That means that the points awarded to the winner will be significant. If they are in the 70-point stage for K, it will award the full 70 points to the winner and deduct from the loser’s ELO.

Oh, I had misread it as a multiplication, too!

dumb start promoting my loss vs. @Adam514 - wp ofc!
