@anchovy:

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.

Good question…  I would like to know as well.

[Jennifer]

The tournament is 1 on 1.

[Strikers]

I am interested, but I need to figure out the online play first.

[booger-10]

Is there a game level required for experienced players or can anyone get in the game?

@Strikers:

Look in the Play by Forum > Play Boardgames > Global 1940 and read through some of the rounds.

The dice rolling command should be stickied in there, if not:
;aaa 5@2 6@3 2@4;
Replace the ; with :
The first number is how many dice, then the AT sign, then the target number (defending infantry would be @2, etc)

Anyone and everyone!

Open to those who have never played on the site as well as those who have hundreds of games under their belts as well.

@DutchmanD:

If we go up to 32 players they will all be in the same bracket initially, then the losers of round 1 will be paired up, and the winners of round 1 will be paired up.

Ooh, double elimination?

I can’t wait to see what the bidding goes for in these games.

[ViribusUnitis]

I might be interested, but I don’t know how to play online… And I don’t know the bidding system…

[Jennifer]

The best way to learn game play is to find a game thread in the “Play Games” forum and read it.  The command line for throwing dice is:

;aaa 2@1 4@2 3@3 1@4;

where the ; is replaced with :
where the number before the @ is how many dice you want to throw
where the number after the @ is the target number (four or less for instance)

The system will then bold your hits and count the number for you (as you can see in the game threads.)

Here is a link to a game I am playing with Mollari: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=23867.345;topicseen so you can get a gist of what some of us expect to see.

A note:  EM devised a system of naming the game files so that they show up in a folder in order:
01Agermany
01Brussia
01Cjapan
01Dallies
01Eitaly
01Zfrance (z predessor was actually my idea, ffrance looked too funny to me so I got silly and used a z once, and it stuck)
02Agermany
…

denotes round

A-Z denotes country order
country name is self explanatory
