@gamerman01 Thanks Gamer! No pressure now… lol

Hey Paul,

To echo Barnee, it really depends on which tourney you’re attending as they all have slightly different rules. If you’re talking about the Strategicon tourney that happens in two weeks, I can help you out. Otherwise, yes, contact the organizers.

@squirecam said in Gamex 2019:

Are there no A&A events played there anymore? I didn’t see anything in the listings…

Hey Squire!

Sure are. We play a tourney at all 3 Strategicon events every year starting around 9am on Saturday and usually finishing Sunday night. Opponent agreed upon boards with 1940 Europe being preliminary default and 1940 global being finals default.

Hope to see you there!

My Japan play and my Germany play and my Italy play has sucked this game. Other than that, it’s been a great game as Axis. :D

Hah! You haven’t played poorly at all. Just ran into a couple rounds of bad dice. That’s the one thing that makes me shy away from dark skies. When things go to odds it’s fantastic, but a couple small dicings and the bomber count can dwindle to a manageable level.

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.

Good game man! Haven’t played against your strat in a while and forgot how stressful it is :P . A couple different dice rolls and this would’ve gone completely the other way.

I’m totally down for a rematch, either swapped sides or same. Just let me know when your schedule frees up.

Hey Folks!

It’s that time of year again, the drought for Southern California is officially over! Well, convention drought that is; can’t do anything about the lack of rain ;) . Strategicon starts back up in exactly one month (02/14-17) with Orccon and the dice get rollin! Come join us at the LAX Hilton for 2+ days of A&A tourney fun starting setup around 9am on 02/15.

We typically run 8 team tourneys, but would love to get more people. All rounds are played on any mutually agreed upon A&A game board (if a board can’t be agreed on, defaults are G40 Europe 2ed for preliminary rounds and G40 global 2ed in the final). Prizes are awarded for 1st and 2nd place. Once you arrive, head on up to the wargames room (there are lots of directional signs from registration) and either mill about the A&A tables or ask for Tim, Dale, or Luke (me) and we’ll get you hooked up. I just got my order of @Young-Grasshopper’s battle dice and am so itching to try them out.

FYI, ignore the fact that A&A isn’t listed on the schedule. It’s been run 3 times a year since 1984 and isn’t about to stop now (the tourney coordinator is just a massive procrastinator, but an otherwise wonderful dude ;) ).

If you can’t make it this time, there are two more opportunities this year with Gamex (05/22-25) and Gateway (09/4-7). Would love to see you there!

Yikes! That Normandy battle was bs. I feel your pain, man :( . Thankfully, I don’t think it will be decisive. You’re looking very strong…

This looks like lots of fun! I live in SoCal so if I’m not too busy that weekend I’ll come check it out.

That’s great! Would love to have you!

@wizmark said in 19L Playoffs Wizmark (Allies +15) vs BobbaRossa (Axis) BM3:

@BobbaRossa Well I ‘enjoyed’ those extra ships for 1 turn! :joy: :joy:

An aggressive G2 looks bad for me already :sweat: At least I get to spread the Communist faith for 1 round!

Yay for extra ships! Yeah, those really had to die or this Atlantic was going to be atrocious :P .

One thing that I hadn’t noticed before: The British tank taking Persia from West India on turn 1 is actually an illegal move. Pg 10 of Europe rule book: “They (friendly neutrals) can be moved into (but not through) as a noncombat move by land units of a power that is at war”. It’s a known bug in the TripleA engine that allows it. I have no problem letting it stand in this game, just wanted you to be aware in case you ran across a stickler in the future :D .

@simon33 said in L25 G40 OOB Simon33 (X) v BobbaRossa (Allies+45):

I want to keep the DD rather than the Cruiser in SZ91.

I will scramble in 97.

Max D in both 91 & 97. So lose the DD first in both battles.

Sounds good. I’ll have to roll 91 with the dicebot since I can’t edit in a battle. Will do that first.

Scramble 97?
