YG called me and answered some of these questions!
YG,
I have some tournament questions:
#1. Which teams play which teams day 2?
#2. When will sides (Axis/Allies) be chosen?
Chosen Saturday AM. Be Ready!
#3. Will there be enough gameboards? (as my team is not able to bring one) or will we need to get one?.
Gameboards are provided (loaned) for all tables. so pieces don’t get mixed or lost.
#4. When I played with you in April, victory was achieved by either reaching 8 VC’s or being the first side to score 3 victory tokens. Is that the case here? or can ALL tokens essentially be achieved? and bonus tokens for denying/winning the game outright.
All Tokens can be won, as well as bonus tokens. “Victory” conditions are still the standard for global. Players have ALL day to play to score points. Which mean each side must fight to the bitter end! to stop the other from getting more points
#5. I see a listing of 40min and 50min timers for turns. How does this work? Do you mean each time the turn changes 40 min is available? so Franzac for example has 40 min? The math/explanation isn’t clear to me. And whats the penalty for running late? or the bonus for finishing early?
Time limits will be explained in detail later. The basic premise is that each country has a set limit per turn. IE Germany has 15 min, Russia 10 min, each turn. etc. Resolve combat is not timed. If a team goes over their time, they must use a “time token” Each side has 8 extra time tokens. If you force an enemy to use all time tokens, you get an extra Victory Token.
