To celebrate both Axis & Allies month as well as the 25th Anniversary of this very website, we will hold the first ever Axis & Allies Cup, a team-based, year-long competition. Get a team of 5-6 of your best players together and find out who is the best Axis & Allies team in the world.
Details to follow but it will basically work like this:
- This will be an event that takes place over the course of several months. Ideally, no more than 12 months.
- There will be two rounds to the tournament. The first is round-robin-like and the second is a elimination.
- In the first round, every team will play other teams in various versions of A&A
- Each team has 3 squads and squads from different teams play each other. This makes it a team sport and it allows us to play a ton of A&A in a shorter period of time.
- Versions under consideration: Classic, Revised, Guadalcanal, D-Day, North Africa, 1914, Battle of the Bulge, 1941 (maybe), old Pacific, old Europe,
Zombies (lol, j/k).
might be a tie breaker but that is TBD.
- The second round will be single elimination
- The eight best teams will play a Quarter Final in 1942SE
- The four best teams will play a Semi-Final in Anniversary Edition
- The winers in the semis will play a Final match with Global
- Matches can be played online, in person, via Zoom, whatever you like
- If you play in person, we might so something special for you. In person matches
If you can’t find 4-5 fiends for a team, we can work on putting folks together.
Ideally, we start in early February so folks can plan their matches.
This is a pre-announcement because I don’t have the details worked out. If you’re interested, please shout out in this thread.
