Is this what you are looking for?

@oysteilo yes it is. can i have both 2.5 and 2.6 downloaded at the same time? I have games in both. If so how?
-
@dawgoneit 2.5 saves will work in 2.6 but not vice versa
yes you can have both. Put 2.6 in a different folder

@HammerTime said in League General Discussion Thread:
I made a couple of errors, but Im curious about the dice rolling mechanism…seems in a few battles that the dice are very skewed badly…any general rule I should follow with the dice rolling mechanics used? thanks
It might be I’m not understanding the concern but I think the dice mechanic approximates the outcomes of real dice. Any given roll might represent an extreme, but over the course of many rolls (sometimes over many games) it does average out.
One way to manage that is to play to reduce risk. So you make sure that you always have the best odds possible (approachng 100% where possible) in the battles that you choose to fight.
Another option is to play with low luck dice which reduces the uncertainty of the dice.

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

@gamerman01 said in 2024 League Rules:
Bidding - is normally used to ensure that both players are satisfied with the side they will play.
Default settings for bidding:
Limit one bid unit in a territory or sea zone.
The nation placing a unit in a territory or sea zone must have started with a unit in said territory or sea zone prior to placing the bid.
China can only add infantry
The term “unit” includes facilities as described in page 27 of the Europe 2nd edition rulebook, therefore facilities may be added with a bid, and another unit may be added to a territory with only a facility.According to the bidding rules, they don’t explicitly prevent the bidding of land units in sea zones with transports/cruiser/BB. Is it legal to bid land units in sea zones?

I would say the default rules say yes it’s legal because of this wording
The term “unit” includes facilities as described in page 27 of the Europe 2nd edition rulebook, therefore facilities may be added with a bid, and another unit may be added to a territory with only a facility.
I would also say it’s in line with the default rules because the default rules even allow placing a unit on a territory that only has a facility (which would also seem unconventional to some)

Yes it is legal according to the default, which would govern if players don’t agree.
Remember that if both players agree, you can do whatever, including a Chinese bomber (that makes me sound like Cmdr Jennifer).
But yes, the default rules allow land units to sea zones (would be cargo on transport or marine on cruiser/battleship) on bidHappy gaming!

My neighbor bought my house when we moved last fall.
He likes fringe board games - not sure he plays them much. I could never get him to play Axis and Allies though we were neighbors for 21 years.He owns 2 copies, 1914 and 1942 2nd ed. He tried to learn how to play them, sort of said something like “maybe you can teach it to me sometime”. Never did. He also saw my G40 boards spread out across my living room on a table, in full glory. Playing in parallel with an online game.
So in his game closet last night, he has 1914 WRAPPED IN PLASTIC. I think he got it a few years ago when it came out.
I don’t even know the rules to it, but I thought I’d offer to buy it from him cheap so that I can play it with no-one for the rest of my life.
It’s $90!! What?
So I go and download it with Triple A. It definitely looks very intriguing, definitely a very new experience with some familiar mechanics.I guess I should look at 1914 discussion on these boards 🤦♂️
Thought I’d share these thoughts to my familiar league buddies first. -
This is the 1914 game. It is quite good, definitely a different experience, though it does need some minor House Rules to make it balanced.

@gamerman01 well if you’re still in Iowa you’re glad you don’t have a sidewalk to shovel today :) Hopefully you got a tractor for the driveway lol
Maybe buy and let it remain unopened. An investment :)
The diagonal look is too much for me. Although WWI was a big interest of mine years ago
