League General Discussion Thread

@Arthur-Bomber-Harris said in League General Discussion Thread:
of practical proposal, I would have cruisers cost 10 and battleships c
Just one note on this great post.
I think we all agree that its normal that we buy more subs and dds then cruisers and bats.
But is normal that my opponent and I play 18 rounds and we buy 0 cruisers and 0 battleships.
I think it isnt.
And that just happened in my latest game.

For my two cents as a person who is a grinder, not a champion, but a play tester and an allies advocate, I say don’t mess with the unit costs. normalize tech. I completely agree about aa guns. Love them. They fail me sooooo many times, but once in a while… Tech would do the same thing. It would make the game more interesting, more historical. Every one of those tech options AND MORE were in the war by 45. And the enemy never alerted you of the change either. Completely shocking and horrific, but immersive!
I am talking to people who care about the W. I like to win, but care about fixing and flavoring the game more. And passing it on to future generations. It is a good hobby. Good for the soul. character. So I believe that the game that this group plays ought to be as close to OOB as possible with the bid and encouraging tech. I think that you brilliant gentlemen can, by including tech–a real gap in Larry’s masterpiece that needs to be filled.–take this game to new heights, new metas.
Larry didn’t know what a meta was. I think I piqued his interest, describing the tendency to go with a kjf these days. And the larger bids.

@crockett36 I didn’t ask, but I made this public. just about aa guns.
-
@crockett36 Okay. No one’s going to bite on tech. Though I was told last night that if I gave it a go I’d get used to it!!
Anyway, how about this challenge: make bm5 allied favored so the Axis need the bid. There is a moral component to the game that the classic rule book recognized. If you care about the w you end up meditating on how to get the bad guys to win for endless hours.

Should have done this a long time ago,
This is the place to take your ideas/feedback for the balanced mod. I don’t know if there’s ANY hope for effecting any change in 2024, but maybe there’s a chance.

In BM4 can a power, that just DOW to neutrals, fly over a neutral territiry to attack a non neutral power?
Particularly, UK DOWs to neutrals, and sends fighters from Gibraltar (w/air base) to W Germany. Years back it was prohibited. Can someone advise how it is ruled in BM?https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/40942/l24-bm4-me1945-vs-pacifiersboard-l-22
-
imo it is crucial that the neutral country is also attacked (by either ground or air unit), not only declared war at
-
@pacifiersboard Its interesting that this issue has come up several times and I still remembered it wrong. I had thought pacifier was right but I found a thread here from panther that confirmed that you can’t do it. If you attack a neutral territory, all the units that fly over must be attacking it. Once it has been attacked (regardless of the outcome), than anything goes.

@farmboy @all
@axis-dominion proved it well from the rulebook in L24 BM4 Me1945 vs pacifiersboard (L+22) see also following posts and I found it confirmed by @Panther in Can air units fly over a strict neutral, if other units are also attacking that neutral?
-
Yeah think of it as the neutral was neutral at the start of the turn.
And there is no DOW on neutrals, that’s just how Triple A does it. Neutrals have either been previously attacked or they have not.So if USA attacks Spain with something, then UK can fly over it in CM

Is there a link where I can download the dice app I was told you all used in league play? appreciate it
-
@MuddSlinger not sure if someone responded to this already but when you open a game in triplea you cna find a link to register for the dice. I believe it will take you through the steps there although its been a while since I’ve done it.
-
@MuddSlinger I just got notification of your post this morning, and not sure why I’m just now seeing your post from 3 days ago.
I’m guessing, too, that maybe you are looking for the TripleA program, which automatically rolls all the dice in our games. For many of us, it’s been a long time, but I think you go here:

Hi @MuddSlinger
Welcome to the site !
Just to add to what farmboy and gamer replied, after you dl triplea from the link gamer provided and have it installed, select a game and hit pbem or pbf and there will be a “register” button.
That takes you to the Marti dice server. You’ll want a gaming email for it, as it’ll send you every roll.
Also, a lot of people are using the latest prerelease, so you might want to dl the 2.5 stable and the pre both. Just put thre pre in a different folder.
I just add the pre number to the end of the folder it’s defaulting to during the install.

@gamerman01 Thank you for the warm welcome and all the great info. I have Triplea downloaded and the maps downloaded already…been playtesting them some before I came here. I saw the auto dice triplea uses, but thought I read somewhere that you all used some other dice app. but thanks again for the message. looking forward to getting beat down some until I get my feet wet.
-
@barnee ok. thanks for that info there. didnt see this message before I replied. guess thats the dice app thing I had read somewhere. will get email for that. thanks to you all for all the great info and help
-
@farmboy ok. thank you for that info
-
I have 1 more question. I have a game to play, but when I register on triplea for the MARTI dice services, I put in my email and hit register, but I receive no email to confirm my email address, and have attempted this a few times the last 3 hours. is this normal for a confirmation email to take so long? or thought it may be within a few seconds? thanks for any help or advice
