Out of the Box 2nd Edition League Discussion

@mikawagunichi And in your opinion, what is the optimal choice and placement. I am always looking out for new players.

That was the magic of young grasshopper. He gave people a script, a meta, a plan. I haven’t gone to military college, but I’m betting they go over various tactics in a variety of terrains that amounts to scripts given unit composition.

@crockett36 I wouldn’t say there’s a total consensus on that but a few popular ones are:

1. Some extra inf for the initial France and Yunnan attacks
2. A couple u-boats for G1 naval attacks
3. TT to Jap Carolines fleet / marine next to one of the CA or BBs
4. Italian TT / marine

Depends on the exact bid, 11-12 are fairly common as well.

@mikawagunichi thank you. very helpful.

Anyone knows where to find the 2024 results?

[gamerman01]

Starting 1/1/24 results were no longer put in the old format, but are in the new ELO spreadsheet along with all prior results to the beginning of the history of G40

If you want to see 2024 results in the new rankings board, you can look at “games finished last year” to see how many games a player finished last year.

Very powerful, in the results tab you can simply enter a player’s name or partial name in the colored box at the top, and it will automatically filter that players results, all of them since 2012, and details on who they played, what side they took, wins and losses, and bidding.

If you have any follow up questions, please don’t hesitate

The link to the new spreadsheet is towards the top of the 2025 league rules, the first pinned thread in league play. I think that might be what you’re asking

[Caesar1]

@gamerman01 Thanks a lot! However, the pink box doesen’t work on chrome… Or maybe I miss something…?

[gamerman01]

Something’s off
I never use Chrome, but I opened it, went to A&A.org, didn’t even log in there, clicked the link to the ELO spreadsheet, also not signed in there, and put talleyrand in the pink box and it properly filtered it.

Seems Chrome isn’t your problem, and that’s all I know
You’ll love it when you get it working.

@gamerman01 Maybe I am working on the wrong link?

[gamerman01]

Yeah the one you posted here looks different than what I see (tabs at top)
But when I click the one that’s in the league rules, it works - you can type in the pink box on that one

@Caesar1 @gamerman01
Although both links take you to the same data, they present it differently. I think this is caused by the last part of the URL, which can be a range of different values depending on what you want the person clicking on the link to see.

The URL in the above post by @Caesar1 ends with /pubhtml which I think gives access to the spreadsheet and it’s tabs, but limits what the end user can do (which may be why the filter doesn’t work when using that link).

The URL which is in the League Rules topic ends with /edit (as well some related parameters). This gives the end user access to the full functionality of Google Sheets (you can see additional menus, the toolbar and right clicking on a cell/column/row/tab gives additional functions). Presumably this is why the filtering by username does work when using this link.

[FlyingBadger]

I think the source for the URL which ends in /pubhtml is this topic https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/40302/the-new-elo-based-ranking-system?page=1

So different website users might be getting a different experience depending on whether they try to access the ELO rankings through the this topic or the league rules topic.

[gamerman01]

Ahhh, that was by MrRoboto
I can go edit that one.

I am very relieved, thanks for your thorough investigation. It is a happy surprise that you took care of that for everyone
