If anyone out there wants a league for a game that is even better than Axis & Allies (my favourite game series ever), then War Room is the game to request for TripleA since it should have its own league in the future.

The physical games (from the Kickstarter*) are being shipped and delivered across the world as we speak, and the (actual owners’) reviews** are raving.

For the enthusiasts (like myself) they can be ordered online***, but the price may seem steep for some.

Here’s to hoping for a TripleA version of the game over the next year or so, to bring this excellent game to the masses and simplify the finding of game opponents internationally.

@redrum solid points. I concur!!! 1914 and Zombies weren’t properly balanced and prepped gameplay wise which is why it’s not as popular.

War Room has gotten tremendous feedback so far though, and as games are delivered and more people play test the final edition the raving reviews are rolling in.

I’ll keep the thread posted. I’ve received the first of four games myself, and can’t wait to run some tourneys to build a following.

Epic game, thanks gents. What a spectacle!

GG, thanks for the game!

@Karl7:

well done!

I’ll post  :lol:

Thank you! You made me work for it!

I could and should have taken Japan one round earlier. That and some unnecessary lost fleet/fighters in the Atlantic and I think I might have had a real good chance at winning this.

@arathorn:

Attempted a Hail Mary at Bryansk, with 32%, to see if luck could decide… It started well with 3 above average R1 for me, but your even higher than average hits R1 made it difficult. Then it went downhill.

Good game. Well played. I concede. I’ll post.

good game! we can rematch whenever you’re up for it. we can start Monday or later, as I will be taking a break this weekend.

wow that does sound good! where is here?
Let’s rematch! We’ll start next week. Enjoy the weekend. I’m smoking a lamb shoulder on my Big Green Egg. It smells heavenly here :)

“Here” is Atlanta, GA. :)

Good luck and have fun Arathorn!

Well it did not post, swore I told it too.  It did not matter though, this reroll was just as bad. I hit average both times but you hit above so. I had 77% chance of winning and lost it both times :(  However despite all that It would have only delayed the inevitable  :|  How about we call it a draw? You won Europe and I won Pacific (I didn’t even do that  :lol:)  Great Game though I would say that I was way out of my league, but it seems I lose all my games on here - so I always am  :-D  I will post your victory, truly a pleasure playing with you and hope to do it again :)

Do you want me to forfeit and give you the win, or would you like me to put my game face on and try to fight back?

I’ll do whatever you want, my good friend

@JDOW:

So my cheap strategy worked out = play you when you were rusty and new to BM and claim the 8 points against a player that will be Tier M at the end of the season  :evil: :-D :-D :-D

Hahaha! Sometimes being cheap can pay off huge! ;)

Agree with the thread starter.  A “league” implies a bit more structure and typically implies that people are required to play each other pre-playoffs.  I would not object to a league system in addition to Gamerman’s ranking system.  Given the current volume of games, I believe we have sufficient people to get a ladder league going if somebody is interested in organizing it.  We can also think about hosting some tournaments.

Gamerman’s Global PBF Rankings or International A&A Global Rankings both sound good.

Hello Sir, I am not sure if I will continue this game in 2015 league, when you are back, I will let you know.

Thanks

Best regards

Juan

@JWW:

I’ve changed the bid placement fgt from scotland to Malta�…

use this file

MALTA!!!  love it.

yeah it will be my third time dropping a fgt in malta…it’s all about the dice, ya know.

I’d certainly play out the remaining turns if you want to see what would happen when you have more free time (either for next season if you change your mind about officially conceding, or just for fun).

I agree that this one isn’t really decided yet, even if it’s tilted.

There were TWO major factors that disabled this from my previous run.

Your incredible luck in 93 - that forced me to build another carrier with Germany instead of 2 transports.

But even more importantly, it was my megablunder of forgetting to block invasion of alaska.
You would have had 20 japanese units to deal with in B.C. if you hadn’t had that attack.

Hopefully next time!
