Gamerman01 (Axis+11) vs. VictoryFirst (Allies) | Classic 2025 Tournament, Losers Round 2

  • 2025

    No worries pal! Sometimes life just gets in the way! And congratulations on your birthday! I actually noticed the 49 becoming a 50 at your profile page but I wasn’t sure when that happened lol. The last time I looked at your profile was yesterday and the time before that was a couple of weeks ago and then it was 49. So I deduced your birthday must have been in mid/late may or early june 😀

    Take as long as you need, our game doesn’t walk away!

  • I edited men from Yakut to Evenki and Novo to comply with 15 infantry stack rule during combat movement.

    I made a note that at the end of the turn I have 14 stacks, because it is helpful for you to know that too.

    I hit 86 income, so the USA must take at least 2 IPCs of territory for the Allies to stay alive. That will be no problem for you at all, but in being a sportsman I alert you so no surprises, and you need to know you’re in a danger zone for round 5.

    @The_Good_Captain The rulebook is not entirely clear to me on this critical issue. On page 4 at the beginning it says after your finish the 6th action, your TURN is over. When every player takes an Action Sequence turn, a ROUND of play is over.
    Page 2 says "combined production of 84 IPCS at the end of one complete ROUND of play (meaning every player has had a turn).

    I am quite sure that means after the USA, but it does not say “after the USA”, and a round could be interpreted to mean the other 4 powers still get to play.
    So I need to be 100% sure, obviously.
    Your total grasp of the Classic rules really is impressive. Thanks for another assist.

    No, I was thinking the threshhold was 85, but it’s 84. USA has to take 3 IPC’s of territory, so if you take France you’re still alive, or of course, Mexico and Alaska.


  • And that feature that counts units is FANTASTIC!!

    @VictoryFirst did you make a feature for classic that has to do with stack count?


  • @gamerman

    If on Japan’s turn, the Axis hit 85 IPC, the USA must take back 3 or the game is over. The Russians cannot do it in accordance with the rules.

    Yes, you can win with a Japanese “lunge” if the USA player isn’t attentive. Nice “check” by the way. I do the same thing. 10/10 for sportsmanship.



  • Thanks! I wish I could just type @The_Good_Captai(n) in 1990 and the rules expert genie would pop out and give me the rules answers!

    Yes, Victory_First or a friend of his whipped up the unit count check not long ago. It went off when I was doing combat move and ended the phase and I had 16 stacks. It’s too bad it doesn’t show a constant count of everything, but this is waaaaay better than nothing.

    Thanks for the quick confirmation.
    It wasn’t a total lunge because I let Egypt go as I think he’s going to take France anyway. Thanks for the props, means a lot.

    Is this game still running?


  • @Martin @Ragnell804 @gamerman01

    I’m gettin’ the itch to play some more classic!


  • @The_Good_Captain someone’s striving to reach the final 🙂

    @gamerman01 Hi, sorry but I have to concede our game. I’ve become too busy to play A&A games. I will be gone for a couple more months. I hope to return soon though. But the tournament must go on.

    I will concede our G40 game as well, unless you are OK with putting that on hold until I come back again. But I would be willing to give you the victory. It has been on hold for a very long time.

    Good luck with your games! Hope you are doing well 😀


  • Thanks @VictoryFirst , it’s our loss that we can’t play with you for awhile.

    Thanks for the go ahead on the G40, and don’t worry about the tournament because the other guys were cool

    I wish the best to you, and will be great when you come back
