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

[gamerman01]

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.

[gamerman01]

And that feature that counts units is FANTASTIC!!

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

[The_Good_Captain]

@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 🙂

[VictoryFirst]

@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 😀

[gamerman01]

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

[VictoryFirst]

@gamerman01

Hi, I know this is an old game. But I have looked at it and I think it is still very interesting. Would you like to continue this as a friendly match? I think the Allies might be able to turn the tides here!

[gamerman01]

Absolutely, that will be fun,

Your move

[gamerman01]

Looking at it for a second -

You probably won’t miss this but since it’s been 1/2 a year -

The USA must take 3 IPCs of territory back or the Allies lose right now.

[VictoryFirst]

@gamerman01 You are the best!!

I made a placement edit, otherwise I gave you a 50/50 in Karelia. I need to be more careful.
