Right On. I will add a Game Option to next triplea update that will activate the Tornament Rules only.

We have updated the attached pdf files at the first post in this thread.

This took longer than expected. You may want to double check what I have.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make a one click for the Tournament rules. All Game Options, other than Volkssturm start as on, so the ones not being used need to be turned off.
I will post a couple saves with the Tournament Rules after bit for those that want to practice with triplea before the Tournament.
Edit
Sadly a error was made for the 1st and 2nd Year TimeTable. I will fix now.Edit 2

@The-Captain How do I sign up?

Hi Fennrisman,
You sign up here.
Where do you live ?
Before you sign up you should notice those subjects:
- All participating players must be familiar with the entire Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook and the Optional Rules & Units that are described as part of the Tournament rules (see above).
- We have decided that the 6th Northern European A&A Wiking-Con 2025 is scheduled for 1 game. So we have more than enough time to finish this game.
- At this point there are 8 players signed up - all are Veteran Players (minimum 10 games G40 HRE)
- Each game is 1 vs. 1 (1 player controls all 3 Axis Powers and 1 player controls all Allied Powers).
- To participate you must have completed at least 3 games of G40 HRE - either on TripleA against at least 1 other player or on game board against at least 1 other player.

The Timetable for the Tournament rules has been updated.
We have attached the revised pdf file at the first post in this thread.

@The-Captain Hi again. I live in Copenhagen. I don’t have any experience playing with HRE rules, and you guys are probably way too skilled for my level, but maybe I’ll return for the 7th. Then i’ll be more experienced.

The Game Plan is now settled:
Game Table 1: The bid was for the Axis. Berserker accepts 4 IPC and plays the Allies.
Axis: The Captain
Allies: BerserkerGame Table 2: The bid was for the Axis. Dark Knight accepts 5 IPC and plays the Allies.
Axis: Cornelis Post
Allies: Dark KnightGame Table 3: Players: Traesko vs. Palin53 (bids are ongoing)
Axis:
Allies:Each Game Table is scheduled for 1 game only during this Wiking-Con. This means that the time limit for each round does not follow the Tournament rules.
A new time limit for each round is agreed by the players just before the game begins.
At least 12 rounds of play must be completed (Late 1945) unless Victory is achieved earlier. -
Note:
All games are registered during any Wiking-Con event.
Scoring points are registered like this:- Winning player: 3 points
- Draw (a): 1 point to each player if both players have played same number of G40 HRE games (+/- 2 G40 HRE games)

The 6th Northen European A&A Wiking-Con event 2025 has ended.
All winners are encouraged to post their Game Reports at the Global 1940 & 1943 Game Report thread.
Concerning Game Table 1 (Berserker & The Captain):
There was an OOB rule misenterpretation in Late 1940, where Japan attacked UK and ANZAC forces in the Pacific - and the US activated the US National Guard - but was held out of the War until Early 1941.
This flaw was not clarified until the US turn in Early 1941.This mistake clearly rests on my shoulders.
We tried to fix it - and after a short evaluation of the overall game in Early 1940 and Late 1940, a plausible agreement was reached in order to continue the game, rather than starting the game over from the beginning.
Nonetheless we decided to cancel the Axis victory after the game ended in Late 1943.
We also rewarded Berserker with the prize (hand-painted units: 6 Waffen-SS Infantry & 4 Waffen-SS Panzer units) for putting up a good fight.We are already training and preparing for the 7th Northern European Axis & Allies Wiking-Con event which we truly look forward to.
