  • @rogercooper Your idea sounds great !

    By the way, I am new to this forum and this game so please forgive my lack of knowledge : but what specific game/map/scenario are you referring to ranking ? Last I checked there was like a hundred games/maps on the TripleA site that can be downloaded and played. Some are not even WW2 games but are spin offs of the Lord of the Rings, etc. I have tried many but the list of games is daunting.

    For your idea I would also add some of AI-playability scale - by that I mean some sort of ranking (1-100) that scores a particular game as being feasible and Fun to play against the computer. I am playing some sort of G40 game now that requires extensive player editing while some of the classic Axis/Allies games are easy to play and the computer provides a decent enough challenge if one plays with limited time to think and allows wide luck swings in the dice, lol.

    NOTE. Some people refer to these different AA games as " maps." I just call them Axis and Allies games but I am new - So I need to ask are you calling them "scenarios?" or is scenario referring to something else? Thx

    PS. I am new to this and want to start playing in tournaments. Have any suggestions ? And is there, or can we implement, some sort of International Player Ranking system for Axis and Allies much like Chess players do?

  • @rogercooper maybe a speed attribute would be good some maps are much quicker to play a game than others

  • I am trying to create a system for reviewing scenarios. My idea is to specifically rate various features and then try to arrive at an overall rating. Each feature would receive a rating of -, + or 0. Some features might be excluded from the overall rating because they are matter of personal taste such as scenario size

    Some proposed features to measure

    Unit Graphics Map Graphics Subject Interest AI Suitability Unit Types Diplomatic Rules Other Rules Victory Conditions Balance

    Anything else I should be looking for?
