@leemorrison After a long wait, my (Victory First) game is over, so I’d like a few days to add our game to my day to day schedule,
Good news is I just put a closing move on one G40 game and another is stalled, so let me know when you’re ready, I’m just not champing at the bit yet since I didn’t know when the VictoryFirst game would be called
TripleA won’t post the turn automatically, so I’ve attached the file.
A bad first roll really turned around. That was devastating.
I will call the game per league rules in 7 days if you are unable to make a move because of long delays and now a casualty choice that wasn’t made in 3 days, and because I have an extremely strong position.
I will play as long as you want since that is your right, and if I call the game due to time out I would still be happy to start it up again if you actually wanted to
Things have really slowed down…
I’ve waited 3 days to roll the 2nd roll in a big battle, so I’ll continue and give you the bonus of choosing casualties retroactively.
A 2v2 (more are allowed) G40 Out of the box tournament is being organized,
Only 2 more players needed - see pinned topic
Posted siren’s call on League discussion thread just now
We have 6 players entered for an 8 player, 4 team, mini 2v2 G40 OOB tournament,
So looking for 2 more
Emphasis on fun and team play, results not recorded, just tons of fun
See pinned thread -
Can take more than 2, because teams can be 3 players
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
That’s a bad roll, so I’ll ask what you lose in West Ukriane, please

Good game!
I’m glad the playoff seeding system paired us up. I’m pretty sure you are the most exciting and tricky player in the league. Well played
You are now paired up on the signup sheet.
We have 6 so far and will not start until we have at least 8.
I’ll wait a little longer before I try recruiting.
Yeah we’re not starting with less than 8. We’ll get them
Oof, didn’t get it done.
Long weekend to annual family reunion, leaving tomorrow morning, back Tuesday

Really cool that you’re playing in this even though you haven’t played OOB in league
Don’t worry, this one is for fun and disparities in teammate experience and success is not much of an issue. Just do whatever your partner tells you !! LOL
Everyone is free to choose up a team mate and if no one picks you, assignments will be made, right before we start.
Again! Exciting that you want in!
You are still in, @oysteilo , will take a bit to organize anyway, and you are worth the wait
