@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”
That's 'cause a droid don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose.

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.

Grat - thank you very much!

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

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

Yeah we play dangerously 😅🤣

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!

Could AI beat our top players in BM or PTV, low luck, no tech? I say no way….

Maybe in 15 years there’ll be off-the-shelf AI that you can tell to learn and practice the game and it’ll be 3000 ELO. Perhaps unbeatable in low luck.

I think MARTI is already sentient. He knows exactly when I am at my most vulnerable, and that’s when he hits me with a dicing. I usually find that after an hour or more of crying I’m okay again.

Casualties for Germans: 1 fighter and 2 tactical_bombers–
Nerded out on the stats for the Yunnan battle.Chance to get 4 hits on 5 infantry (4.11%) x Chance to get 3 of 3 on the fighters (29.63%)
1.22%
-and-
Chance to get 5 hits on 5 infantry (0.411%) x Chance to get 2 of 3 on the fighters (44.44%)
0.18%So a ~1.4% chance to get 7 hits, which is actually higher than I expected
Chance to whiff completely with my units:
(2 Infantry @1: 69.44%) x (Inf + Art @2: 44.44%) x (Fighter @3: 50%) x (Tac + 2 Bombers @4: 3.7%)
0.57%
