Got it, that helps clarify
Looks like an exciting J1 coming, got it mostly figured out now
2011 Tournament discussion (AA50-41)
-
I forgot about closing the Dardanelles! That alone helps balance 1941 and would keep bids down, so we’re not getting all the weird stuff from 12+ bids… But everybody won’t want to do it, and again, a lot of us don’t want to get used to both ways… Changes the game a lot, when Italy can’t threaten Caucasus… (Which is why closing it is a great idea. There’s a reason Italy didn’t bombard Stalingrad with battleships and cruisers in real life)

That change alone would drastically improve the Allies chances! Not a bad idea at all :-D

I am not in favour of house rules, although some of them like Dardanelles are option in the rulebook.
I agree that in Anniversary 1942 there is more variability than in 1941 and both sides can play many tactics.
First of all In 1942 Usa can fight in both Oceans.
In 1941 always goes like this: Japan conquers Asia and Oceania and can get as much as 75 ipcs.
Axis struggle in Europe and win if they are able to keep four/five key territories in Europe before Japan arriving in Moscow. -
1941 is quite variable. Otherwise it wouldn’t be so popular. I guess the other reason it’s popular is its different from revised/classic.
KJF and Pacific tactics are arguably more viable in 41 than in 42. In 42 Russia is in deep trouble from the outset and needs rescuing. Certainly USA can beat Japan in the Pacific in 42 if it wants to, but in that case Allies might lose the whole of Eurasia.
Going back to 41 bids, it’s been awhile since I saw a bid of less than 8 on these boards so I don’t think the 41 bid will go much higher. 8-12 for dice/nt is about right. Low luck/nt should be 13-15, or possibly more. People resisted higher bids for Axis for awhile but not anymore.

What about making a AA50-42 tournament ?
I’m sure there would be some players, and you do not need so many as for the league (starting from 8, you can play).
That could be a way to see if people are interested into discovering / playing this scenario or not :)

There was a team tourney, but there were no bids, and Axis won every game.
It’s a good idea. There would most likely be 8 players for a 1-1 bid dice/nt tourney.

@The:
The 1942 map looks like the Earth decide to get obese and Russia massively increased in size at the top, Africa looks like a drunk painting by Picasso and southeast Asia…well, to me, 1942 is just a fancier version of Revised with the 1941 rules put in place.
Dude, we are NOT talking about Spring 1942.
Don’t you know that AA50 comes with a 1942 scenario?? :lol:
Whooops! :-o :oops: :oops:
(And yes, I knew AA50 came with a 1942). I guess I thought you were talking about Spring 1942 when on another page it had been mentioned).

Don’t be embarassed, Desert
Just wanted to straighten that outAs always, appreciated the input, Yoshi and Zhuk
IIRC KJF was my method of choice in AA50-42
But if you get very bad R1 dice you’re toast (happened to me in League championship 2010) no matter what -

Yoshi over Gamer(8) in semi-finalsDarth - who starts the bidding for the 3rd place game?
-
Glad you guys got the championship started. Been battling a stupid cold.
Good luck.
3rd place game, start bidding.
Gamer - 1
Zhuk - 2
Rolling 1d2:
(1) -
Gamer can start the bidding for 3rd place game.
-
this is an exciting matchup.
-
It’s always a good matchup between the two.
-
RD over Yoshi in the title game.
I think that does it for 2011!
Thanks to everyone that played!
-
Zhukov and I need to play for 3rd, don’t we? We’re working on finishing the league championship game first, I guess. We can both play a lot more now that school’s out.
-
Yeah, I wasn’t sure if you guys were playing it out. But yeah, whenever you get to it, that would be fine.
-
OK, thanks for confirming.
Several days ago we finished the bidding - I will be taking the Allies again with 11, so it will be a rematch of the league game. We can start the 3rd place game here whenever Zhukov gets the time. -
We have the sides and bid set for the 3rd place game, but I still haven’t heard anything from Zhukov.
Zhukov, if you’re reading this, are you going to play or forfeit?
Darth, could you ask him to get started or forfeit? I’m hoping he’ll play - would be good to have a rematch. The bid and sides are even the exact same as the League Championship game, and Zhuk would probably get better round 1 luck this time. :|
-
Message sent.
-
I haven’t heard back from Zhukov. I’ll call if I don’t hear anything by this weekend.
Last call!
