If I’m not mistaken, there aren’t any battles there where the Italians can scramble.

Decay is playing Japan. Hopefully he gained a bit of inspiration from seeing Pearl Harbor in person  :-o

There are 31 other people that will have something to say about that  :-P

Do you mean the new version of TripleA, or the newest map version? If you need the newest map version, start up TripleA and click “Download Maps” third from the bottom. Copy this into the box that it gives you:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tripleamaps/triplea_maps.xml

Then just install the latest version of the map.

I have TripleA 1.6.1.2 and G40 version 3.3. You may need to download the latest version of the map.

Yeah, I read that thread. I made a few tweaks, but it’s basically the same. I noticed someone is using something similar to this opener in another tournament game, but they botched it badly. Other than that, it hasn’t been used much in this tournament.

Need scramble orders.

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.6.1.2, time: 09:54:37

We’ve got 2 votes for Axis. I would call that a quorum. I’ll post Germany’s turn within the next day or two. Just want to iron out some strategy details first.

@rgp44:

We didn’t quit! We dropped into a coma waiting for everyone to play.  Going to have to re-read the rules over Xmas break to brush up for round 3.

rgp44  -  Atlanta Axis

I believe Gargantua meant Transatlantic Alliance. Similar sounding names, so the confusion is not surprising.

Do we want to roll for sides? A lot of people are choosing to do bids, but I’m fine with rolling. I don’t know what my team thinks though.

Rolling 1d2:
(1)  
Rolling 10d6:
(2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6)

We were allies. So someone’s going to have to be allies again.

The first round of the loser bracket:

Cannibalized by Fluff
MagicQ
DeadTom
Enigmatic_Decay

v.

Attack of the Killer Gore-illas
Guerrilla Guy
soulfein
Ancient History

TO THE DEATH!!!

Unfortunately, one of our members, Enigmatic_Decay, is on vacation in Hawaii right now and likely won’t have reliable internet access. Although, he said that he should be able to get on every few days to do his turn.

Winner plays the loser of Dairy Qryn v. The Final Draft (it just doesn’t get easier does it?) a game that is already well underway. So, we should get started as quickly as we can.

We’ve been waiting on the edge of our seats for this one. I guess we get the losers in this one. Now the next round is set:

Attack of the Killer Gore-illas
v.
Cannibalized by Fluff

DeadTom
Lansing, Michigan
A&A board games (any global variant) and A&A land miniatures.

I’m probably going to regret signing up for another tournament, but this is too good to pass up. I’m in.

It was a good fight, but it would appear that the Allies are out of moves.
