XDAP-03 Cannibalized by Fluff v. The Final Draft

Hey @tmshort34 !

We have an ongoing double elimination Classic tournament going here right now, but I think actual separate tournaments are rare.

As long-time moderator of the Axis&Allies.org league, I point you to the league section under Play Boardgames here.

Since you’d love to meet new people and compete a little bit, I really think you will be happy picking up some league games.

Although it’s called “league” there isn’t really any sign up or registration or commitment. Scan over the pinned league rules thread, and you can just post in the “Find League opponents thread” that you are new and want a game (or more). Soon someone will contact you and help you set up and get playing.

While the league has been for G40 and variants of it ever since G40 came out, you can also play someone a Classic game and it will count in league and has its own leaderboards. That is new this year. So if you’re not familiar with G40, you can play Classic. Otherwise, for a game of AA50 or Spring 42 or something, fish around in the “play boardgames” section where games are just informal and for fun.

League also does not need to be taken too seriously as to standings. We have them primarily so that you can gauge the strength of your opponent before playing. I highly recommend you check the league boards (see the league rules) to size up a potential player’s ability.

No problem. I will ask you next month for W@W game.

@The_Good_Captain

It took me awhile, but I see what you mean as the G1, G3, G4, G5 North Sea dice are not grossly out of whack all put together.

After the 1% G3 result, I would have continued if the prize was $5,000

We re-set, and played just for fun. G4 was lucky with 0 planes lost instead of “supposed to be” 2, which set up G5 situation.

After the 1% G5 result, I would continue if the prize was $5,000, but I’m not going to grind out a just-for-fun game trying to win, and I think it might even be insulting to continue against a strong player after losing 6/7 of your luftwaffe early in the game in that situation, to say I will show you that I can still beat you

:) :) I only post this because I think it’s fun and mutually enjoyable to talk about the game and situations we all looked at. Hope I’m not wrong.

@leemorrison You’re being polite. Yes I got my bomber and some air shot down during the first two turns but I overextended very badly with Japan, mostly because I underestimated the value the tanks would give you in terms of exploiting openings in my positions.

If the bomber had supported the attack on the GB fighters in Gibraltar with the two infantrymen instead of the tank, the attack would have succeeded without problems, the transport is less important just as the Ukraine was attacked with only two infantrymen and one fighter and it did not succeed either, , which although it won could not recover the territories

@VictoryFirst said in 2025 Classic tournament round 1 Gamerman01 v VictoryFirst (Axis):

in the end it worked out beautifully.

I had lucky results in China J1, and again against the Japanese battleships and loaded carrier off French Indo China

The Japanese fleet was more important than normal because only one factory was built

Very gracious, thank you!

@DoManMacgee Just to make sure you know, Classic has been added to the league (under play boardgames) so you can enjoy matching up with other Classic opponents to your heart’s content, supported by a community, moderator, league rules, and a rankings board

Get in on the ground floor!
