Fantastic! Young guys rolling the dice! Awesome!

@Young:

It’s gonna be strange not seeing the name Ryan Davison etched as champion in a long line of title wins.

Ya, but I can still safely say that I won every in-person tournament that I have participated in for global :)

I’m planning to attend the SCARAB gaming convention in Columbia SC on January 17, 2015. If anyone else in the SC area would be interested in going, it’s $20 for a day pass to the convention, if we can get an A&A game going I’d like to start by about 10:00 AM. I have Pacific 1940, I think it would be cool to play a game of Global 1940 but I don’t have a copy of Europe.

If you’re interested in attending and playing a game of A&A, let me know!

Great Idea, just keeps getting better and better… can’t wait.

Looking for partner or 2, preferably someone who has great experience with global already who is also going to gencon.  I have a lot of experience with the 2nd edition of global (around 4-5 dozen games under my belt).  I just don’t want to scramble for a partner at the last minute like last year.

@miamiumike:

I need someone to explain a bit better how this chess clock idea will work.

Let’s say the tournament round is set for 6 hours (which is what AA50 games are set to currently). This would then mean each team has 3 hours of time? In the middle of round 6, Italy is up and opps - the Axis run out of time - they automatically lose?

If this is correct, then I guess that means we want to have NO new people play the game. Not even people who have played but are not true ‘experts’. The only situation I could see possibly thinking about using this idea would be in a Masters type tournament. That would be it. Otherwise, you will kill any non-hardcore player from ever even attempting a tournament game. For the Masters, it might work.

I’d be willing to give it a try - just to see how it goes - but I cannot see how this helps grow the number of people who would want to play in a tournament.
