Got it, I didn’t see that I also had a FAQ, was thinking I only had the CLASSIFIED clarification

Now I see my specific question is answered, the carriers could not even split up during a combat move that ends in the same place

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.

Thanks @VictoryFirst , it’s our loss that we can’t play with you for awhile.

Thanks for the go ahead on the G40, and don’t worry about the tournament because the other guys were cool

I wish the best to you, and will be great when you come back

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

@ManuC23 said in Elche (Axis) vs Ragnell804 (Allies) - Classic Invitational Game, RR, No Neutrals, Tech Turn 4:

@elche I wonder what the purpose of this GB move is on turn one? Isn’t it better to go for Africa to secure another unit for Persia, since Japan’s Sub in Solomon Does it cover all entry to Australia?

I suppose he is waiting for Salomon’s sub to retire, to go to Australia and is he safe in that position?
