Farmboy wins it all, all the marbles, all the glory!

Farmboy (x) beats gamerman01 (allies +4) in Balanced Mod

Round 3 of the playoffs, after he went through formidable Pejon_88 and the terrifying veteran Ghostglider. I couldn’t stop the train, finally losing Moscow and not ready to deal with that.

The 2024 league rules have been updated and posted as a sticky thread. The previous one has been kept in case changes want to be analyzed, but unstickied.

The main changes are:
Shortening up redundant language that has lingered for years
Eliminated the limitations on playing the same player repeatedly
Much shorter ranking rules because the ELO system doesn’t really need to be explained like the previous one did (because it was unusual)

huge congratulations, gamer is not an easy opponent at all! still, maybe having more competition this next year won’t hurt… i’d like to see @Adam514 sign up for the new playoffs as well.

Congratz to the new league champion, Farmboy. Well played!

I follow the final closely, and it was an atypical game on the Eastern front.
The Germans were slightly behind schedule on the Eastern front and after turn 6 or so the German stack moved to Bryansk, allowing the Reds to launch an attack. The odds were clearly below 50% but in case of a success, the game may have been over in favor of the Allies.
The attack did not go the way the Allies wanted and left both armies crippled, including the Russian airforce which suffered from a 2/3 AA success by the German F.L.A.K.
I think one could argue that, from here, it was an uphill battle for the Allies.

The Axis headquarter remained calm and kept a cool head. Germans were not forcing any matters on the Eastern front but focused on stability, while establishing the Atlantic wall, including a massive German fleet protecting WGR and Germany. A fleet arms race developed in 112 and 110 while the Germans continued to stabilize on the Eastern front.

Japan was mostly uncontested in the Pacific. She let India grow to a massive size and never made a serious attempt to take India while focusing on dominating China and slowly eating up Eastern Russian territories, facilitated by Stalin’s order to send the entire Siberian army home. The Siberian army secured the survival of Moscow after the battle at Bryansk, but left Japan uncontested on the main land.

This way, the Axis achieved income parity, which, in many cases, leads to a slow death of the Allies, especially as Gamerman concluded the fall of Moscow was inevitable.

Thanks to both participants for the great show, what a pleasure this game was to watch!

MrRoboto

I love that summary, thanks @JDOW !

You know you have to cover all high-profile matches now, do you?

@Avner @Sovietishcat

Congratulations on the championship game, and to Avner for taking it all and being immortalized in the league history thread!

Just want to make sure - do you both agree this game ended on 1/1/24 and should be counted for 2024 and not 2023?

Playoff implications for others! Thank you

One playoff ended 12/31 and the other 1/1?
Amazing, unprecedented.
And the bids were the same?! at an unusual amount. Incredible.
And yet another similarity! #1 seeds defeated at the end.
