Yeah, the end game in Persia wasn’t completely clear. I needed to get Iraq as well so that my 2 complexes would be competing with Egypt and South Africa. That would then have potential to at least hold back the British indefinitely while only absorbing some G income.

Not sure why I moved a sub to SZ117.

Error in path for fighter used an extra movement, that’s the edit.

Must have forgotten to move the Libyan troops too. Bummer.

last round? I am sorry, I think that is a little late…

Yeah, that’s why I didn’t ask for an edit.

I’ve played on but I don’t think I’ve ever won. When it happened against Adam514 I conceded right away.

Wow. That was a big win. Seems like luck has swung back to the Axis.

I’m going to concede this game here. Looks like you’ll displace USA from Normandy and the allies will have a lot of trouble getting back Gibraltar even. You might lose Egypt but I don’t think it’s enough.

Thanks for the game.

Might be keen to go again when I have less on my plate.

I’m enjoying this game.

Those rockets though are going to be a real pain. Not sure of the answer either.

I think it was worth risking my valuable Italian bomber there. Didn’t notice how much you could attack Greece with.

Stand at Stalingrad. How historical! Wouldn’t regularkid be pleased.

Not only must both players use it, they must use it every time. A single save with an earlier version will cause the problem.

Sorry for the delay, will move tonight or on the weekend

I want to finish this game this year.

Tech didn’t favour me and I didn’t defend Leningrad properly.

Apparently I forgot to place 2 inf. Since that is mandatory, I edited that in.

Is there a reason we don’t have a playoff with 16 people or 24 people in one big bracket? I could see it taking a long time, but besides that i dont see a reason why not.

I think 8 is fine. If it was 16 you could knock out the top player from the 16th spot with some good dice.

Regarding the 72hr limit, some feel it should be longer for the championship games.

@gamerman01 said in League General Discussion Thread:

I’m thinking the seeding/ranking for playoffs (2021) would be determined by your PPG in that version, not the overall. That way you can try another version, like P2V, and lose without wrecking your great BM record.

Completely agree with this. Sounds like a pain to administer the 4 sheets though.

@karl7 I think the major change is the scramble rules (can scramble to land and/or from CVs) but the map is drawn differently so that few islands are in their own sea zone and most border 2. Also USSR is significantly stronger and has an IC in the east.

There are many changes but that gives you a quick overview.

I have to disagree with you on that one though. If you play 8 games of BM and 3 of P2V, I can’t see why that should qualify you to be the league champion (potentially) for P2V or even OOB.

If you only really care about getting into the finals, play 8 games of one version then move to another if it is feasible you will have time in the year to complete that.

@amon-sul I would say just one rule, 8 games of that version.

For the record, I am supportive of the idea of allowing a lower number of games played for OOB than BM. In the event that BM or P2V fall out of favour through the year they may need differing minimum numbers of relevant games played. We also need to clarify the default rule as BM4 (I would presume) for that playoff. P2V may change through the year so we probably need to decide how to handle that potential issue. OOB with a bid for allies is clear enough at present.

The idea that I do disagree with is OOB games counting toward your BM minimum and all ways around.

@simon33 look at the battles in SZ113 and SZ114 regarding the casualties. I realize that since there were subs from Germany you might have wanted to do things a bit differently.

Yeah, the point of scrambling to SZ113 is to kill air so I would certainly have lost the BB in the first round and kept a plane. You would have killed it in the second round but it would have had a shot. Let’s roll it here. Otherwise, all good.
