Greeting again gents,

I want to say thank you for the Triple A recommendation, I had no idea such a great program existed and with the addition of many playable maps. I loved mapview but it didnt have the play against PC option at all it was for your own games to play or by emeail. This is quite neat, so thanks for the suggestion.
I had the cdrom version and that was fun but limited to just that one map.

@mikawagunichi
The allies are healthy but making less money. They have preserved their units but lost all center control. They are doomed without decisive action and a lot of luck.

@crockett36

Yeah, that’s what I meant. I apologize for being unclear.

@Axis-and-Allies-Events

This is exciting! Watched a bunch of Gary & Doug discussing tournaments via Board Game Nation’s play-by-play and livestream chats from '23 thru '25 and have been bitten by the bug to give a tournament a first try. Live near Pittsburgh so Dayton is well within range.

We advice players to study the pdf file: JOIN US, Wiking-Con, that is attached to the first post in this thread.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Took my turn.

@vodot yeah I think I have done a first pass need to work out what’s the best format to publish in

@The-Captain

Exciting!

Maybe it’s just me, but I think the penalty for Allies attacking neutrals should be way more severe. Like more money or money each time an ally attacks a neutral. Perhaps each Axis player gets so many militia units.

@PGsquig I don’t recall exactly why, but I found a reason to actually do it on purpose. The land wasn’t safe and I needed the air power to project east.

@Jacob16 sorry! forgot about getting back to this. Now that I have i’m like damn i’ve lost this thing. I’ll concede here =(. Thanks for the game!

@vodot I’m glad you enjoyed the write-up. Hopefully it provided a counterbalance to whatever BGN had to say. Others have asked me about it but I’m too self-conscious to willingly sit through a hour+ video of someone else using the luxury of hindsight to review my game. If anything I’d probably just get unnecessarily angry over it and leave a 2-mile long argumentative comment, and that wouldn’t do anyone any good.

Personally I don’t enjoy the 2v2 format that gen con and all of BGN’s tournaments employ. All the past cons I went to for A&A over the years have been 1v1, Beamdog’s 42SE client is 1v1 for ranked, League/tournament play on here is strictly 1v1, and basically every Classic/Revised league worth its salt from the old days were 1v1 as well. In basically every game I played I found that all of the “teams” effectively boiled down to “leader/follower” dynamics anyway (not to mention that sometimes the teammates would starting getting antsy with each other over who’s “fault” X/Y/Z thing in the game was), so if anything it just feels like a cheap way to cut the tournament’s runtime in half. I guess that’s fair since the organizers need to work with Gen Con’s schedule/table availability, but IDK, it’s just not an appealing format to me. Hopefully next time I go I can convince either my wife (who is roughly as good as I am) or one of my friends to go just so I can avoid the hazard of being paired with a random.

My gripes aside, I would definitely recommend trying to go to any F2F tournament one day, be it BGN’s upcoming series in the Ohio/Indiana area or something smaller wherever you live. It’s a high-octane version of A&A that is basically a completely different board game than what is played online (due to the turn/time constraints + the fact that calcs are explicitly not allowed)

You’ll always be prepared going forward!
Pretty major rule
