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?

@gamerman01 said in League General Discussion Thread:

Guys, I’m thinking about resigning as league moderator and scoreboard operator. I don’t want to leave you in the middle of a year so intend to finish this year out and set up playoffs and everything, but maybe somebody should come alongside me and learn some of the ropes, or maybe you guys have an idea of another direction to take all this.

Contributing to this decision is that I did have my first manic and depressive episodes this year since 2005 (still pretty depressed - trying to get the right meds) but I wanted to get out anyway, since I haven’t found the time to play any league games myself.

I intend to help make a smooth transition if someone else is eager to moderate and score games (maybe a team) - I’d been doing everything with no partner for years now (Although having a partner can mean more work if they have differing ideas than you)

Please think about it - sorry - I guess this day had to come sooner or later. Thanks for understanding

Gamer

I remember the day you took the reigns, our league benefited greatly from it, and in numerous ways! Your leadership will be greatly missed but I hope we may someday play a game again. Thank you for everything and take care my friend.

Where have you been for work or vacation?

Hanover, Nuremberg, Ditzingen and Stuttgart for fairs and client meetings…took a river boat cruise down the Danube, hit all the towns, and went to all the Christkind markets…

hello everyone, first let me say how nice it is that there are active players who want to improve & grow our league! I have been playing here for a long, long time, before there was any formal league, which we first formed, I believe, around 2005, anyway, we began with a playoff type format which was changed, years ago by the most active amongst us to the system we have today, which was developed by, and continues to be administered by Gamerman. Thank you @gamerman01! Personally I think the system is perfect as is, but with that said, I do think there is room for more tournaments. There is a league post season tournament based on the current league scoring system. If someone is willing to put in the work to get this started I am sure Gamerman of DJensen would help get it running. That might provide the “fix” some of you are looking for right now.

@gamerman01 said in League General Discussion Thread:

Obviously every year that goes by and we’re playing the same version year after year, the interest wanes.
And as Karl said, G40 games take a lot of time and commitment. Compared to earlier versions of global A&A, well, there is no comparison as most of you know.

G40 was such a leap forward for A&A in so many ways, it’s no wonder at all there was huge interest for the first few years, and a great observation by Simon that Balanced Mod was a big improvement that breathed new life and stoked a lot of interest, but it loses its new car smell too, like anything.

Someone, design a new global version of A&A that raises our heart rate again!

I have played A&A&Zombies and it is a hoot, a perfect “beer and pretzels game” as players used to say. But most of us probably wouldn’t play it very many times.
FABULOUS entry level A&A game, and also VERY interesting for veterans.

Has the total number of players decreased year over year? I can understand why less games are being played, for reasons already noted.

@simon33 said in League General Discussion Thread:

Yes it has. Less players, harder to get games, some give up in frustration.

Although League games are normally finished unlike online games

I used to play games w/newbies just to get them going. Maybe I/we could do more…

@gamerman01 a Commander Jenn reference, nice!

@simon33 said in JWW (Allies+8) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM3:

Oh that’s right - you don’t play on weekends. Should be Monday in Hawaii soon.

Are you in hawaii? Yeah, family time on the weekend.

@djensen said in Find League Opponents Thread:

@666 Oh, phew. I thought you left the forums. Looks like you ditched the JWWII moniker.

when I am no longer active in the forums I will be dead.

@oysteilo you are putting too much thought into this

Hey Jim, you forgot to edit the J Baluchistan Mech out.
I am not able to edit out bc it says that is was on a Transport before.
Therefor you need to move it on your Turn and then remove it.

I couldn’t delete it either…ok, i’ll move it next turn and then delete.

I figured we would just leave it there. I believe that the game will be over before that area even matters, but I could be wrong, what I forgot to move is the german forces in africa…lot’s of mistakes in this game. Sigh
