Still looking for new players in the region of montreal or quebec city or ottawa.
If you looking for an ultimate challenge…WAW might be the one!!

The latest…

AA Gamers,

I have been given the approval to submit events for GEN CON 2021. With that I need to begin generating events for everyone but need to know from you, whether or not you will be in attendance this year and if so, would you be interested in playing in any of the AA tournaments I typically run. I currently plan on running the Global '42, AA50 and 1942 2nd Ed tournaments. I am planning on staggering them so that anyone not playing in the G42 tourney, you can play in both the AA50 and 42 2nd Ed events.

I also plan on having the Axis & Allies War At Sea League and hopefully a few other WAS events. So, I need to get some feedback if anyone is interested in any of the other AA variants like Zombies, 1914 and the like. War Room is also a consideration but only if it appears that there is a demand for playing it.

I know this is going to be extremely hard for me to know in advance of how many may or may not attend and I have voiced my opinion to GEN CON about the same but if you do know, I would love to hear from you.

Also, due to the ORIGINS being just 11 days after GEN CON, I will not be able to attend ORIGINS in 2021.

The Spring Gathering is still on as well June 25 & 26 in Wilder, KY. http://www.headlesshorseman2.com/spring-gathering.html

If you have any questions, please let me know and thanks for your time and consideration.

Peace,
Gregory J. Smorey – EO/GM

Sweet ! Good Times !

Oh, forgot to answer the time limit question… It depends on how many people are there. If we have three rounds, yes there’s a time limit on prelim rounds (enforced very softly). Think it was 7 hours last con. It was only enforced once, most games move quickly and are resolved by then. If there are only enough people for 2 rounds, there won’t be a limit.

Finally posting after lurking for almost a decade now.  Hi everyone.

There’s going to be a Revised (2004 Edition) tournament at the WBC tournament this year (It’s an annual boardgaming/wargaming tournament/convention.  They typically play Avalon Hill and GMT games.).

The tournament is going to be from Friday, July 21 (Preliminaries) until Saturday, July 22 (Semifinals/Finals).  The convention itself is continuing for the rest of the week (July 22-30).
The format uses a unique ruleset to make the game playable in a limited amount of time.  I can post the rules if you’re interested.

Link(s) to Event Website:
boardgamers.org (Can’t actually post links but you get the idea.  A search of “World Boardgaming Championships” will take you to the page as well)

Ruleset:
@WBC:

Time Limit: 4:30 hrs Standard Bidding.

Adjudication System-
The determination of who wins a tournament game will be based upon the control of Victory Territories (VTs). The Victory City method of determining a winner will NOT be used. Each side controls 12 Victory Territories at the beginning of the game. The Victory Territories are listed below.

AXIS POWERS
GERMANY
Germany
Western Europe
Southern Europe
Eastern Europe
Ukraine SSR
Norway

JAPAN
Japan
Manchuria
French Indochina
Philippine Islands
East Indies
Borneo

ALLIED POWERS
USSR
Russia
Caucasus
Archangel
Novosibirsk

UK
United Kingdom
India
Anglo-Egypt
Australia

USA
Eastern US
Western US
Hawaiian Islands
Sinkiang

If a player holds 18 (or more) VTs for a full round of game play (From the end of a country’s turn to the beginning of that same country’s next turn.), then that player automatically wins the game.

In the event of a VT tie at the end of the game, whichever side increased its IPC total is the winner. If the game is still tied after reviewing the IPC totals, then the GM will make a determination of the winner based upon the game situation at the time the game ended.

If a player chooses to concede a game before it has reached the 18 VT automatic win threshold or the game time limit (4.5 hrs), a default score of 19 VTs and +30 IPCs will be awarded to the winner.

I don’t know the rules for sending email addresses out, so I’d have to PM it to anyone who’s interested.

Anyone wishing to join us is welcome - just reply to this thread or PM Private Panic.

It’s a whole day of A&A slaughter and mayhem in Derbyshire, UK. Thus far these events have included games of 1942.2, Anniversary and 1914, as players wish on the day.

Currently we have six players, so there will be two games, with space for more to participate.

Cannon fodder especially welcome!

Edit: The Spring 2017 event was originally on 9 April, but is now on 30 April.
