League General Discussion Thread


  • @crockett36 we could just do a Saturday that way you don’t have to take vacation fly in on a Friday night. Hang on Saturday. Make your way back home on Sunday. or make it a three day extravagant my church would fit the bell for a one day event. I think we’d have to rent a hall for three days.


  • @crockett36 I’m totally fine with no trophies. I do enjoy some casual play. It would be fun to actually put faces to all the forum names. I also just miss actually rolling dice. I rarely actually bust out my boards anymore. I can’t wait for the kids to be old enough to battle lol

    Easiest way is to watch @crockett36 youtube interviews. If the guys you play with in PTV haven’t done interviews, ask them or do one yourself, more is better

    Ah, the swansong of the modern A&A player!
    Good luck! My kids are grown now and are both capable. My son loves WWII so much he watches World at War documentaries with me (and is much, much wiser for it). Got him to play Zombies with me twice, even helped him win, and have Classic set up in the basement.

    He pondered R1, got stressed out, and quit. Yes I told him not to worry about winning, yes I told him I’d hold back.

    You do want someone you see all the time, obviously. 🤜🤛

    @crockett36

    Thank you for the suggestions you put thought into. January is the time for league rule changes, yes.
    It is intriguing to consider different “flavors of the year”, but

    “No” to standard bids set.
    Individual player game by game bids are preferred because of individual and unique player strategies, it changes up the game, sometimes a LOT (you mentioned stale). It would actually be more stale if the starting set up was largely dictated to everyone for a year. Guard rail not needed, inexperienced player can just look at what the successful players bid

    Players can agree to almost any modification for their game, so all kinds of customization and fun is allowed, and this is true even in the playoffs. But this is game by game so that everyone can count on the standard, out of the box experience without having them altered uninvited by others

    If you have some consensus with multiple other league members on a change, or depending on the nature of your change, it is certainly possible to effect a change in rules. I give the people what they want, and I don’t think your suggestions so far will be welcomed by the majority. I reconsider if some of you start to coagulate
