Please sign-up in this thread in the tourney forum:

http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=22003.0

Everything is the same as last year.

Rules

AA50-41
Latest Rules + FAQs
NO - Yes
Tech - No
All other optionals are off
Single elimination
We will list top 4 seeds from last years no-tech tourney (spring 2010 - if they sign-up) and the rest of the backets will be assigned randomly

Choosing Sides

You will be bidding for the Allies.
Full placement bids. Standard bid rules apply (can only place bid in spots where you already have units, etc.)
You will bid in IPC, but you can spend the bid on units once bidding is completed.
Bidding will be done in an Auction Style to keep everything in house.
Once brackets are assigned I (or another mod) will do a random roll for each round to see which player will start the bidding (either top player on bracket or bottom). The players will then bid down until one player concedes the sides.

Example
Player 1 - I’ll play the Allies with 9
Player 2 - I’ll play the Allies with 7
Player 1 - I’ll play the Allies with 6
Player 2 - You win, you can take the Allies with 6

Tentative start date will be Feb. 15.
Official schedule will be determined once I know how many players we have. Assume 1 month per rd.

We may cap participation at 16 or 32 depending on participation. If there is overwhelming interest we may add in another play-in round.

@Bjergmose:

Is the defender able to scramble ftr to counter the recon?

Do you use ftr and/or bmb to recon?

If you recon can your airplanes still perform combat moves?

Would like to play…but not exactly in the neighbourhood :-)

No ftr scramble. If you have AA in the area, you can use it.

Yes. They can be used in Combat moves.

@General:

Recon?

So you dont set the game up at the start?

I still dont get it.

Yes. You setup up the game in the beginning per the rules. Obviously recon is not needed on Germany 1st move or Russia first move if you are playing 1942 scenario.

You actually setup 2 game boards with ALL the pieces. One side is the Axis and one is the Allies.

@SilverAngelSurfer:

So you can recon any adjacent territories whenever you want, or is there a limited number of recons per turn? And to recon more distant territories you need to do an aerial recon which has a chance of failure… Quite interesting. I take it you need one map for the axis and one map for the allies? Sounds like a cross between A&A and Battleship, if I’m getting this right. :mrgreen:

I guess you would call it a cross. Never thought of it that way…

Each country is allowed to recon before it combat move. Ground recon 1st and then Air.

@Tarling:

I think this link should help. I assume it uses something similar, although I have not had the opportunity to play this variant. Seems quite fun though!!

I like this. We have never used the last rule but that sounds pretty interesting. Propaganda.

I more than agree with templeton on the freedom to players idea. I appreciate the game offers a nice historical point of view, but it is the idea of being able to do the “what if” playing that makes it really exciting.

The other idea is that no one can be in Russian territory except Axis and Russians which also significantly increases Germany’s odds and again, encourages Japan to attack America since America really has nothing better to do than help in Africa and attack Japan.

I was just reading the end of this thread: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/341599

…and it got me thinking. There a lot of people that would like to see an even amount of attention to both the theaters of war, and I realize that the NOs are now an effort along with VCs to encourage such play… Im just wondering, wouldnt VPs be a great way to force the allies to spread their efforts in multiple directions instead of the standard KGF?
You could do VPs for the axis or allies as a group, OR you could do it as individuals - so if japan gets too large (left alone), it can win the game by itself so to speak… same goes for japan, they cant focus ALL their efforts on the charge to moscow, as the usa could steal all the VPs from the pacific…

Just thinking out loud mostly ;)
