I am already in awe that @AndrewAAGamer owns and/or works at a proper board gaming store, or one of his older brothers let him use it as a prop, not sure yet
That is my gaming room. It helps to be older and have bought the games over a long time when the first came out.

@AndrewAAGamer Shoot. Seattle, Florida, either are too far for my bicycle
It’s the thought that counts, thanks!!

And we have more excitement for you this week!
Dave Jensen, site founder and leader, has an idea for a World Cup 2024 event that is a tournament with rounds and teams of 4-6 players, with sub-squads, across different versions of A&A, much/most of it could be played online.
That’s just my breathless version - read his organized one!

1942 2nd edition is very popular outside these boards, thanks in no small part to the Beamdog PC game (which I believe is available for some tablets now?) It is also my go-to for face to face play.
I don’t want to split League play up more than it already is between OOB/BM/PtV - but is there a good way we could capitalize on some of the recent surge in interest. I saw in Steam metrics that there was a pretty big spike of viewership/players in January. A couple YouTube channels (Board Game Nation is the biggest one) show corresponding peaks as well.
-
Would you go ahead and provide links to these things, here?

Peak users a couple weeks ago nearly matched March 2020https://youtu.be/uBMCB0AUciI has 167k views on a channel with only 10k subscribers
I think there might be an appetite for “world champion” that might work well with the algorithm or something? I’m not a YouTube expert 😅

@Stucifer Thanks!
And look at that huge COVID bump! LOL
People stopped working and started having fun -

@crockett36 This is my interview with AAAgamer, champion 2021.
At the 12 minute mark, Andrew talks about how he’d love some kind of all-time ranking to see who’s the best ever.
We have that now! :-)

Guys, we have another great interview,
Another high flyer in OOB,This is Crockett36’s 2nd 1 hour interview with one of our reputable league players. The first interview being @AndrewAAGamer, also available on Crockett36 youtube)
ABH is a veteran in our league, with 68 games since 2015. He won the most recent 2022 OOB playoff, as the #10! seed! So you should want to see this.
-
@gamerman01 key to winning as the #10 seed is to have good luck with the dice. 👍

@Arthur-Bomber-Harris @gamerman01
@PantherGot a rule question: I (think to) know that you can purchase more units than you can build, decide at end of turn what units are placed (as many as possible) and the other units are transferred to next turn. Is this true and will it also be true if I loose that Power’s last factory = capitol before the mentioned “next turn”? What does happen to the remaining units, are they stored up to whatever next turn with a possibility of placement?
-
The units are not “stored” they are returned to the box and the cost of the units is reimbursed to you. TripleA does not do it that way so you have to edit it.

oha, thx for this enlightment!! I found it in the Game Notes now, too

@pacifiersboard
@AndrewAAGamerJust for completeness:
Current prints of the rulebooks have slightly changed the wording to:
“In the event that you inadvertently purchased more units than
you can actually mobilize due to production limitations, you
must return the over-purchased units to the box (your choice
on which units), and the cost of the units is reimbursed to you.”The only difference is the introduction of the word “inadvertently”.
This implies that you are not allowed to intentionally ‘overbuy’. -
second “oha!” That is important to know (so no exchangeable carrier buy as possible landing spot…)
-
@pacifiersboard now I see why you are asking…

@pacifiersboard said in League General Discussion Thread:
second “oha!” That is important to know (so no exchangeable carrier buy as possible landing spot…)
Actually what is in the current rulebooks derives from the official November 2014 FAQ-sheet update, when this Q+A had been introduced:
“Purchasing Units
Q. Can I purposely purchase more units than I can mobilize with the intent of deciding which
units I want to keep based on the outcome of battles I intend to fight?
A. No. You may only purchase as many units as you will have the ability to mobilize after making repairs to any damaged industrial complexes. The rules for returning excess units are intended only for inadvertent over-purchasing.” -

@I have a small youtube channel and can do a review of the balanced mod championship. I am currently reviewing the 22 semifinal match between AAAgamer and ABH.
Crockett has videos of 1 hour interviews with

I’m urging him to do more interviews (of league players, hopefully, and he’s talking about Larry?!)
and also perhaps to review games along with other players, especially with the players of those games.Breaking new ground in the league - putting faces to names
