League General Discussion Thread

Ptv has been around enough and developed by the same guys who did BM3… set it up for its own league for the 2021 season now!

Hmm, perhaps P2V should have a separate league. I guess Gamerman01 wouldn’t really want to moderate two leagues though. I would consider doing it.

I think PTV should most definitely be separated into its own league. Let’s not kid ourselves, it’s quite a different game, and far more involved, especially with all the complexity surrounding the land and sea scrambling rules. Different and bigger map, different rules, different Strats, and so on.

Interesting, I think you should give it a go at some point. Perhaps you want to wait for the rules to be more refined but I think it improves in many areas. Don’t agree with everything of course.

I did play it a few times and did like it, it has great potential. I found some things to be unexpectedly challenging, like how you really have to watch out for japan (or America) taking a land and then having lots of air that could scramble from the carriers to defend. Made it very tricky, and very different from A&A. Anyway, regardless of how we feel about the game, it’s a different game, not A&A, and should be in its own league.

@Amon-Sul
Sorry bud, but in P2V bomber do NOT cost $14… they still cost $12 but they do attack at 3 instead of 4 making them very much less powerful!

@Amon-Sul
That’s your opinion that P2V is too complex! I think not… I quite enjoy the game myself.

@axis-dominion
Different game yet developed by the same people who developed BM3… in fact most of the changes are based on BM

the game lasts too long, too many variables. I prefer BM. But it is a matter of taste.

I agree with this as a bit of a limitation. It is bad enough in G40 that amphibious assaults are very overpowered compared to reality. Although if you had realistic amphibious assaults, it probably wouldn’t be any fun.

The P2V game looks like it would be a lot of fun. its just a matter of getting used to all the new rules. i would like to play a few before i get in to the league with it. i think i made a mistake agreeing to a game before i practiced it first. anyone interested in a game in the play boardgame forum?

@dawgoneit i’d be down to play, dawg.

We need more players if we’re going to create two or three different leagues. I believe that it is the proper solution to the issue, yet it wont be as fun if there are only 5 OOB players/10-15 P2V players. I suggest advertising the league/s in the Facebook groups

BOOOO!

Did I scare you?

I am at rock bottom. My gym is shuttered. I got no woman. I’ve put on ten pounds. It’s time to get back to basics.

WE NEED A LEAGUE IN A&A CLASSIC! NO FANCY BS BALANCED MOD NERD SH*T!

GOT TIME!

Well,

Thats the problem of OOB.

As for PTV with time it will have more people playing it. I expect a lot of people participating in both BM and PTV leagues.

i go back in my games to see who i havent seen in a while and message them. i get some takers. its worth a try. theres some upper level players i’ve never played if someone in an upper level wants to go back and message them.

My two cents, been doing this a LONG time here, seen a few playoff, year end, and league changes.

Any games played in the league thread count in the standings, BM, OOB, P2V. People who choose to play here agree to their opponent and which version is played. Simple.

For year end tourney or playoffs, players can agree to the version of the game played, and if they can’t decide a standard is selected at the beginning of the year, let’s say the most popular version played the previous season, as an example BM.

That’s it. One league thread, One league standings, let’s keep it simple.

Is @gamerman01 still around? is he still maintaining the league standings doc? If so has he chimed in?

@666 not yet but he will for sure.

I agree, under one notion.

As long as BM is the dominant version. (or in future PTV as dominant).

What shall we do if in a year or two we have BM and PTV equally popular?

Or there is one option.

We can give a rule that the higher ranked or lower ranked player chooses the game if there is no mutual agreement.

@Amon-Sul not a fan of.
Because this started the discussion in the beginning.

I am for 2 separate leagues, or 3.(if we count oob)

I am just exploring other options.

@Amon-Sul i meant your suggestion to let either the high or the low Tier decide.

what if two players have the same PPG , what will be the tie breaker?
