A Gibraltar attack would have been a surprise, and did not think about it.

as for the number of games required to qualify for the play offs,
i think that 8 is definitely too much,5 would be ok, maybe to limit to play 2 games per opponent instead of 3.
So 3-5 games as the play off minimum, or 8 games all together,
but i am not a fan of joint condition, i would make each league separated (but since both BM and PTV are very popular) maybe 5 games is ok for each of them,
or 8 games combined, minimum 3 per league,
but in my opinion, i wouldnt do that combine condition
i would threat each league separately, and since we have 2 leagues then, 5 games per league seems ok so u can play in both play offs -
and the reason i think OOB doesnt need its own league is that BM is dominant over OOB. And i doubt that there will be much interest for BM and PTV players to play a third playoff.
Even some OOB dudes will maybe go for PTV only or something like that.
i suggest we patch OOB with BM, but if the OOB guys want their own league, fine by me.

Awesome. Glad you have come around @gamerman01. So one league but 3 standings.
OOB is less popular so may need playoffs decided based on top 4? Perhaps a rider to allow that to be decided at the end of the year? Will it still be 8 game minimum in all games? Probably fine in BM and P2V. Should it be BM4 (14 IPC bombers) as standard? House rules can blur the lines but I guess it is pretty unlikely that it won’t be clear what the nearest game is.

when i say 2 leagues i mean 2 standings.
the topic for discussion can stay one for all.

i think boms cost 14 should be standard to prevent bomber spam. but it is a democracy, we BM dudes can vote.

@majikforce said in League General Discussion Thread:
Is OOB so bad that you could never possibly get a win? I doubt that very much.
Actually, it is. More or less.
Just take our game in the tourney as an example. We got a huge bid of 56 for Allies and I’ve thought on several occasions that the Allies were crushing it (for instance getting an early firm hold of both Spain and Scandinavia), but Axis still seem to be winning. I’m amazed.
Of course, you are likely better players than we are, but it has atleast partly to do with a pretty bad rule-set regarding i e re-conquering capitals, the easy China-conquest, slightly easier winning-conditions and significantly lower NOs/income for the Allies. All of which is favourably addressed by BM3.
I also had a playoff-game in the previous season where I was forced to play OOB. I’m not an awfully bad player, but was annihilated as Allies with a 28-bid. Having played a lot of BM3 during that season, all I could feel for OOB was contempt (as well as for my rotten play).
In my book it’s really pretty much OOBsolete, but I won’t haunt those who still love that version. ;)

Problem there is that then no problem is solved. :) We would be in the same situation of having to define a default for the playoffs being unfair to atleast someone.
I think the division into 3 standings and playoffs is as simple as great idea.

It is already, and still called BM3 (designer’s decree). ;)

well thats for the OOB dudes to decide. I think that OOB league and play off will be of little interest,
but if they wish to have it ,
i dont have anything against it.
it is the most democratic idea.

Actually, I think I understand now what you were driving at. Keep OOB and BM3 together, but have the option of separate playoffs. Sure, that could work. Maybe even be good. Still think the best solution is a separate standing also for BM3 and OOB. Makes a bit of sense, since there are pretty different prerequisites for the two versions.

as for OOB i dont play it much worse then BM, its not abot that. its about BM beinge more balanced, upgraded, better, gives much more options, totally dominant comparing to OOB. (the bombers cost 14 is just another great add).
i personally hope since PTV is a different game that we BM dudes will see another remakes of BM similar of that boms from 12 to 14.
(by that i mean the cost of units, tech and national tech options)

no, i wasnt for the mix model.
i was for one league and one playoff for them just like this year but without ptv, and with bm as the default version

I’ve read a statement about it, but finding it, nah, would take several hours of manual search. Won’t do it, sorry.

I say that it is BM4. It is not the same as BM3 by intention.
