BATTLE IN VANCOUVER! IT'S ON! Nov. 23-25. Who will survive?

@djensen Hi Dave. That sounds great. It would be fantastic if you could stay the day and play, but even a pop in visit would be good.

The next one is this coming Sunday. After that I will set the date for the next quarterly event and let you know when it is. We are probably looking at September to avoid summer family holidays. If you want to let me know your availability September/October I will try to accommodate you.

Cheers
Adam

@Slip-Capone And also we don’t play Economic victory.

@aftertaste Thanks for those additions Mike. Much appreciated.:+1:

Hi All
    This is our 3rd battle of Long Island and 4th event at the church. We have had between 15 and 26 people. It is in Whitestone Queens NY from 10am till 10pm or so. Lately most are playing Global 40 2nd edition with bid for allies. We have an undefeated team that also has the 1st, 2nd 3rd place finishers from the WBC. We welcome less experienced players. We are starting to do match ups and records if you like. Mostly have Fun and Play hard with other great Axis and Allies People. In the past we played the Anniversary Game, 1914, Spring 42 and the Revised edition lately mostly global 40. Bring a team, join a Team or if your a veteran and play fast you can run an entire board. We have a Fridge, light snacks served, plenty of parking, we ask for 10.00 for the church. Last time we had a guy sell old games, flea market is welcome but it is about playing. If you are on a team you can play in 2 games at once. Save Sat. 23rd for this…!!!
                Any questions
                          Joe

Due to holidays and other commitments our numbers were whittled down to just three players this time, but that meant more action for us!

We played 1914. Dukla passer played Italy and Russia with a non-forum player taking UK, USA and France. Private Panic played Germany, AH & Turkey.

With fewer players we managed to complete more turns - eight in all. However, we forgot that in 1914 unsupported infantry have an attack power of 2, instead playing them at 1, as for the ww2 A&A versions. Dukla passer spotted this after perhaps the 5th turn but we decided that we should continue as we had started.

That of course slowed down those advances which were meant to swiftly eliminate an enemy power - giving both R and T an extended life.

Nevertheless, Moscow fell in turn 8. By contrast, T fared much better and had by the end begun to overcome the allied forces arrayed against it. This is despite being reduced to 9 ipcs at one stage.

Elsewhere:

The USA was bringing to an end G’s ability to roam Africa at will. F’s forces had taken control of Alsace. A-H dominant in northern Italy and at the gates of Rome, although that was heavily defended by multi-national forces. AH also therefore threatening southern F, which had served to divert F reinforcements away from the G front, giving hope to the Axis that Alsace would be recaptured. Allied fleets in control of the Med. G and UK navies continually contesting the North Sea. Two significant naval engagements there won by the UK, despite one being on absolutely equal terms and the other with a clear Axis advantage.

Private Panic felt that the game should be declared a draw as neither side had a clear winning position. Dukla passer felt that the Axis had a 60/40 advantage, perhaps because of Turkey’s renaissance. He is a gentleman!

After fourth round!?

Welcome to the game! I hope you can attend next year. We’ve discussed having an event this fall as well. We have a group of guys from Kentucky and East Tennessee that come that might not be too far away depending on where you live in WV. Please join my Meetup Group to stay up to date.
