Hello Gamers,
I’m hosting an Axis & Allies tournament Saturday, Oct. 2 at Apple Valley Lake, Ohio (near Mt. Vernon). I am looking for 6 or more players. I hope you & any friends you know who like to play can join.
Origins Gamefair in Columbus will not be hosting an Axis & Allies event this year so hopefully this will be a good alternative for any players that were looking forward to competing at Origins.
Following are details:

1rst Annual Battle of Apple Valley Lake
WHEN: Saturday, Oct. 2. Games start at 10 am.

WHERE: Floral Valley Community Center. 850 Crestrose Dr., Howard Ohio 43028.

Apple Valley Lake is about 60 minutes northeast of Columbus.

WHAT: A fun, casual 4 to 8 team Axis & Allies tournament. We will be playing the Axis & Allies 50th Anniversary Edition. Each team will consist of 2 players. If you don’t have a partner, we can pair you up with one. This is a single elimination event. Games will be limited to 6 rounds. Each game will take between 3 to 5 hours to complete. Side games/ consolation games are optional. Multiple versions of Axis & Allies will be available including, 1914, Global, Zombies & 1942.

Lodging: If you are interested in staying overnight there are several options. There is a nice campground at Apple Valley Lake. Event organizer (Vince) is a property owner so contact him if you would like to make arrangements to stay in a tent or camper & he’ll arrange for a guest pass. Apple Valley Lake also has cabins for rent & several AirB&B rentals. Nearest hotels are in Mt. Vernon which is 10 min. away.

Fees: This event is free for all participants. Prizes will be awarded to champions & runners up. A guest pass for tent camping will be less than $20/ night.

please forward this email to any friends that may be interested. Thanks!

I’m not sure how to send you the registration payment… Is there an application? Please let me know thank you.

With continuing Covid 19 restrictions some of us decided to play via Zoom using triple a. Of course this was not as much fun as playing face to face, but the four of us who joined in very much enjoyed the day.

Mark (@Credulous) kindly hosted the Zoom session.

We decided to play Anniversary (1942 set up). Mark played Japan and Adam (@Private-Panic) Germany / Italy. Leo (@Wittmann) took USA & Russia and Andrew (@h0lym0nk) GB. The Allies had a bid of 12 which they placed as a GB destroyer off Canada and a R artillery.

The opening moves on the R front favoured R, as G counter attacks all suffered more casualties than they inflicted. GB attempted its Taranto moment and lost heavily, leaving Italy able to capture Egypt. Japan suffered no mishaps, killing the GB fleet of India, the US flotilla at Pearl Harbour and the Chinese fighter.

GB considered its choice of factory locations and decided to opt for South Africa. Fortunately Hirohito spotted the possibility of capturing this and under Japanese orders the Italian navy navigated the Suez Canal and dropped 2 ground units in south east Africa, and these were able to capture the factory the following turn.

The US landed in north Africa, but then lost its 2 transports, defended by a single destroyer, to a G Luftwaffe attack. The US decided to allocate a considerable proportion of its resources towards an Atlantic navy sufficient to allow further landings in north Africa. These pushed towards Egypt.

This allowed J some freedom in the Pacific. J captured India and built a factory there. Briefly this appeared threatened by US pressure on Egypt and a R threat south from the Caucasus, but the prudent deployment of J fighters to India and Egypt stymied any Allied ambitions. Later Australia also had the honour of joining the J empire!

Meanwhile G managed to keep R in check while also combining with I units to deny the Allies the opportunity of gaining the French national objective. As a result the Axis were gaining most of their national objectives, but the Allies few of theirs. This and the collapse of the British Empire gave the Axis an income advantage of around 30 ipcs per turn.

The Allies surrendered, with a G stack before the walls of Moscow and a growing J threat on Caucasus. The US Pacific fleet had captured a couple of islands (while J replaced the naval fighters it had sent to India) but had no opportunity to effect further advances. The US Atlantic fleet had sailed south to defend Brazil from Italy’s South African fleet, robbing north Africa of reinforcements. Perhaps the only bright point for the Allies was GB’s capture of Norway.

The four of us had a chat and decided that the autumn and winter BoB dates should be arranged with the intention of falling back on a virtual event should Coronavirus continue to preclude face to face play.

Due to holidays and other commitments our numbers were whittled down to just three players this time, but that meant more action for us!

We played 1914. Dukla passer played Italy and Russia with a non-forum player taking UK, USA and France. Private Panic played Germany, AH & Turkey.

With fewer players we managed to complete more turns - eight in all. However, we forgot that in 1914 unsupported infantry have an attack power of 2, instead playing them at 1, as for the ww2 A&A versions. Dukla passer spotted this after perhaps the 5th turn but we decided that we should continue as we had started.

That of course slowed down those advances which were meant to swiftly eliminate an enemy power - giving both R and T an extended life.

Nevertheless, Moscow fell in turn 8. By contrast, T fared much better and had by the end begun to overcome the allied forces arrayed against it. This is despite being reduced to 9 ipcs at one stage.

Elsewhere:
The USA was bringing to an end G’s ability to roam Africa at will. F’s forces had taken control of Alsace. A-H dominant in northern Italy and at the gates of Rome, although that was heavily defended by multi-national forces. AH also therefore threatening southern F, which had served to divert F reinforcements away from the G front, giving hope to the Axis that Alsace would be recaptured. Allied fleets in control of the Med. G and UK navies continually contesting the North Sea. Two significant naval engagements there won by the UK, despite one being on absolutely equal terms and the other with a clear Axis advantage.
Private Panic felt that the game should be declared a draw as neither side had a clear winning position. Dukla passer felt that the Axis had a 60/40 advantage, perhaps because of Turkey’s renaissance. He is a gentleman!

Q

@miamiumike:

I need someone to explain a bit better how this chess clock idea will work.

Let’s say the tournament round is set for 6 hours (which is what AA50 games are set to currently). This would then mean each team has 3 hours of time? In the middle of round 6, Italy is up and opps - the Axis run out of time - they automatically lose?

If this is correct, then I guess that means we want to have NO new people play the game. Not even people who have played but are not true ‘experts’. The only situation I could see possibly thinking about using this idea would be in a Masters type tournament. That would be it. Otherwise, you will kill any non-hardcore player from ever even attempting a tournament game. For the Masters, it might work.

I’d be willing to give it a try - just to see how it goes - but I cannot see how this helps grow the number of people who would want to play in a tournament.

MM

I discuss the check clock idea further here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27947.0
