@leemorrison I am ready to start our game when you are. PM me your opening bid if you are ready.

My donation was earlier this month.

@Martin Yes the “miss” on my part was using Japan’s bomber offensively when it could have at least NCM’d from Manchuria -> Germany to give one more HP to the units there. That might have made some level of difference in the final fight but in hindsight, once the UK air got as many kills as it did it was unlikely that Germany was going to survive.

Good luck to you as well!

My game with @Martin is over. He won.

@Martin Missed the obvious play of America goes into Germany with everything. I concede.

@VictoryFirst It was already made. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/41503/2025-classic-tournament/. Wins/Losses go there. This thread has the link to the bracket buried in it, which is here for reference:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bl9ZgBWBZMZhybNTT6CUEiTC_QA6k949IWDZeYY_Qrc/edit?gid=1557325169#gid=1557325169

@Martin Sorry for the late reply. I am out of town this weekend and need to play on my laptop.

I am attacking the British/Soviet Fleet with the Germans. Do you have a preferred OOL?
Additionally, if I get unlucky and do not kill all of your units, do you want to retreat the Soviet sub?

@gamerman01 I requested access to the tournament-related google docs, but while I wait, can you (or someone else in this thread) tell me who I am playing against?

@djensen said in Pre-Announcement: The Axis & Allies Cup:

The tricky part here is if teams want to get together in person but none of the 12 people have a copy of the game, then what do you do? Otherwise I would prefer random.

What I’m thinking is that I would randomly assign the team pairings and the game they must play but not the squads.

For instance:
AA vs. BB Guadalcanal
AA vs. CC Revised
AA vs. DD: Classic

…and so on but you should have 3 games going at the same time at any given time.

Might need to back up a bit on this one.

Say Team A is scheduled to play Team B. Do each teams pair their three squads against the corresponding three squads of the opposing team, or do they only send out one squad each?

If it’s the former, do all 3 squad Vs. squad matches take place on the same edition?

If it’s the latter, what’s stopping a team of just putting their strongest two players as one squad and only using that squad for the entire tournament (effectively rendering the other four players as benchwarmers)?

@djensen
Some clarification/interest asks:

• If there ends up being a lack of interest for whatever reason, might it be possible to downsize to 3-person teams to keep the same general format, just with 1v1 games instead of 2v2 (this is more of a hypothetical than an actual request)?

• When two teams play each other, how does picking the game edition(s) to play on work (beyond the restriction of 42SE for T8, AA50 for T4, G40 for finals)? Do the teams mutually agree on what editions get played, is it randomly generated, or a mix (i.e. team A picks 1 game, team B picks 1 game, 3rd game is picked randomly)?

@djensen Sounds cool to me. Is 5-6 people too many for one team? Maybe 4-6 instead?

@Martin @gamerman01
I have no preference in whatever system is used as long as the baseline format is not Best of 1/Single Elimination. If there is an end-of-season bracket that is single-elim to determine a champion that is fine. If the final standing is just based on overall placement after all league games are played (with no playoff) that is also fine.

Just reaffirming that I am one of the folks interested in playing this hypothetical classic tournament.

@FMErwinRommel I think the game you’re describing is a TripleA fan-game that’s more in-line with core series rules. 1914 is an official release from ~2017 that, despite the A&A name, plays very differently from normal A&A in an attempt to simulate trench warfare.
