At the risk of turning people off because of my self-promotion,

You may want to know,

@Adam514 !
Does a game review with Crockett36 and myself
On the recently completed BM playoff semi-final game

Go to the stickied thread - “video interviews of league players by Crockett36”

We are amassing quite a collection of fun interviews on the opening post of that thread. Don’t miss out!

[Stucifer]

Fun, watching it while I work. Love @crockett36’s comment about engineers and accountants, my older brother that got me into A&A is an engineer and I am an accountant. Who would have guessed!

@Stucifer

Boom baby!

Question on Technology (1940 Global):

Does anyone know what the message means “removing all Technology tokens after unsuccessful research”?

If you already have gained some tech, you will certainly never lose it. So this message is somewhat confusing. It appears after an unsuccessful research, meaning that the purchased tech rolls did not have a 6.

So I guess the actual question is what a “tech token” is. Maybe it just stands for purchased and yet unrolled tech dice.

This wording is a remnant from Anniversary Edition. There you bought Research Tokens that represented the research dies. In Anniversary when rolling for research failed you kept the tokens for the next turn.

@Panther cool - thank you very much for jumping in and clarifying! :-)

[Stucifer]

@Martin I am playing a match with Gamerman using tech, there is an optional rule to use tokens instead of one-shot rolls. TripleA engine allows this in the Game Options. Uncheck the box that states: “Remove All Tech Tokens At End Of Turn”

Just an update on the dice issues. A few days ago I went into yahoo, made marti a contact and prioritized a few messages from it. Since then I’ve been getting the dice.

@farmboy said in League General Discussion Thread:

Like a lot of people I ran into trouble with my dice email a couple of years ago. I was using gmail and I found that most of the emails weren’t coming through. I switched to yahoo and that worked great until the last few months. I still get all the emails but most come in several days late. Curious if others are dealing with the same thing and if there an email service that is avoiding these issues.

[Martin]

Grat - thank you very much!

[gamerman01]

Congratulations to @farmboy !!

BACK TO BACK Balanced Mod 4 championship wins!! 🙌

Congratulations to @Adam514 as runner-up, who also has a championship of his own, 2019. 🙌

Both are entered in the league history of championship winners and 2nd place finishers, and deserve all due awe, honor and recognition ✨✨✨

If you want to learn, to observe brilliance, or both, then review the game in Triple A

Sorry if this has been asked before.

In PTV, if Vichy triggers are the axis allowed to fly over it during a combat move, while still in a pro axis neutral state?

Also, on another note, I do believe there is a bug that seems to connect SZ 95 to Southern Spain. At least in one of my games, that is happening.

Anyone can fly over pro-Axis Vichy. You can consider them “attacked” since the territories changed hands.

Yeah sz95 should not be connected to S Spain.

@Adam514 Thank you sir

[Stucifer]

I printed a PtV map image on banner vinyl. Playing our first game on it this weekend!

@Stucifer
Hmm, that looks really familiar. :)

However, OPEN GLASSES ON THE TABLE!?!?!?! What are you thinking???

[Stucifer]

Yeah we play dangerously 😅🤣

@Stucifer that is so freaking epic! very impressive. how are you differentiating the marines?

[regularkid]

@regularkid also, how do you handle the vichy units?

Right now, I have Marines for the US that I got from Historical Board Gaming. However I do not have marines for the other countries, so we are using German infantry with a Japanese occupation marker underneath for Japanese marines.

@regularkid said in League General Discussion Thread:

I put a black-backed occupation token on each Vichy territory and left the French units on the board. Since Germany opted for Vichy and the French fighter was lost in the 113 scramble, it’s not too confusing.

I’m also logging each end state in TripleA. Mostly to track income with all the NO conditions, easy to lose track of one. Added benefit since we have to clear the table for an activity tonight, but plan to continue playing tomorrow if the weather forecast holds!
