First, Annual Global 1940 Tournament - Sign-ups open!

[Jennifer]

Rules

Global 1940, Alpha +2
If Alpha +3 is release prior to the start of the tournament, we will use Alpha +3
National Objectives - Yes
Technology Development - No
German Interdiction - Yes (German U-Boats do 3 Convoy Raid Damage instead of 2 CRD.)
YOU MUST WAIT FOR FRANCE TO MOVE BEFORE MOVING ON TO GERMANY!  The only exception to this rule is if France has no units on the board, regardless of proximity to any theater of operations.

Choosing Sides

You will be bidding for the Axis.
Full placement bids (which means no left over cash for use in your purchase units phase!).  
Standard bid rules apply (can only place bid in spots where you already have units, etc.)
You will bid in IPC, but you can spend the bid on units once bidding is completed.
Bidding will be done as a silent Auction.  Both players will Private Message Commander Jennifer with the bid locations they would like and I will notify them who won and what the winning bid was.

• Please send the information as thus:
  ** Player A vs. Player B Global 1940 Tournament - Header
  ** I bid XX IPC, I want X-Units here and Y-ships there
  Brackets will be assigned by random die roll.  As this is the first year of the Global 1940 tournament, there are no last years winners to pair up.  
  Edit:  In any game in which one of you is facing me, bids will be sent to Darth Maximus instead of myself.

Tentative start date will be Saturday, 3 September, 2011.
Official schedule will be determined once I know how many players we have.

We may cap participation at 16 or 32 depending on participation.  If there is overwhelming interest we may add in another play-in round.

Moderators For This Tournament:

• Primary: Commander Jennifer
• Secondary: DarthMaximus
  Moderator resolution of disputes are binding, even if Larry himself posts that the dispute was resolved incorrectly.

I would like to sign up. Is there some one to play it online or is this tournament held at a certain location?

[Jennifer]

Game play is online.  As stated in the rules, all games will be played with the program Abattlemap.  TMTM can provide you with copies of the modules for the free program.

BTW, what is “German Interdiction”?

[Jennifer]

@anchovy:

BTW, what is “German Interdiction”?

Optional rule in the manual that came with the box:  German submarines do 3 IPC Damage when Raiding Convoys instead of 2 IPC Damage.  AKA:  Instead of needing 4 submarines to raid 8 IPC from England/Scotland you would only need 3 Submarines.

OK.  I see that you had the explanation of it in italics underneath it.  I thought it was a separate point.  Thanks.

Yep, I asked too. I also thought it was 2 separate points.
