GARGANTUA'S $200 TOURNAMENT OF EXTRA DEATH AND PAIN (TripleA Only) 2xELIMINATION

What if we’ve never played AA 1940 Pac or Europe?

Question: How will we split the countries? Can I give general advice to the guy? I hate to have to micro manage someone lol. When newbies play newbies… allies typically win because the axis drag the game out lol, but I could be wrong.

Can I choose which country I get? Popular demand wants me to play Japan. Also How do you split the allies up?

I am actually hoping to get veqyrn to play global.

I don’t know how the online play works but I just downloaded the map and I’m interested. Does everyone sit at their computers and play real time until the game is over or is the game played when people make moves over the course of a week, etc. ?

uhoh, never played global before….

I’m in though.

Also:

1. Tech is out.  Tech does not work in TripleA (well it does, but it uses AA50 tech, which is not good on the global map at all)

2. I’ll release a new copy of Global 1940 soon, and everyone will have to download it for this tourney, so that everyone is using the same version.

I’m in and I’ll see about bringing in a guy who’s never played online before.

I think I played a PBEM game of tripleA about 2 years ago. What category do i fall into? Newb or veteran?

Hey, so I have a couple of few possibly more quick questions. I didn’t see anything about how the $200 prize was going to be raised. Is it coming out of your pocket? Is there an entrance fee to play? Do we have a sponsor like FMG or some such? Did you buy a lottery ticket?  :wink:

And is there a deadline to get a team signed up for? Or is it just the first 16 teams that sign up? What happens if there’s enough interest that 18+ teams want to sign up? You seemed ready and willing to narrow the field, but is 16 the max # of teams?

veqryn we might need a third player because the most important rule is unfamiliar with triple a, you may not have played global, but you are the most familiar!

ya thats fine.  you’ll have to find the guy, cus everyone i know already knows triplea….

ps: 
Gargantua, I think this is an awesome gesture and will be fun as hell.  But I also don’t want you breaking your piggy bank to personally fund this tourney.  I’m sure we would get just as many participants with a Reward of $100 or $50 instead of $200.  (or an entry fee of $5 to help offset the cost…)

It would also be cool if the prize was split between the first 3 teams, like 60% for 1st place, 20% for 2nd place, and 10% for 3rd place.  That would give me a hoping chance in hell to win against all you crazy experts…

I agree whole-heartedly General!

This might be cool, and $200…good for the site, no? Or for me…

I received my draft notice. I am very unhappy because Canada’s prime minister promised there would be no conscription. But since my granpa went, I’ll follow his trail. ;)

How does PBF work? I’ve used TripleA, and I’ve played using PBEM (because when you have young children, online live games are not an option). What’s different about PBF?

Also, is the TripleA version for Global really good? I don’t know all the rules on the tip of my fingers, so I’m counting on the games to tell me if a move is forbidden.

Working on finding a partner now.
