    I think we’ll definitely go with the first 32 that sign-up.  I don’t want to have to worry about any brackets bigger than that.  :-D

    If we do get anyone after 32, you can be alternates.  We do have a lot of new people here, so no-shows could be a possibility.

    Wow, really nice to see so many people signing up!  :-)
    So,  DM when will this baby fly?
    Is it as soon as we get onto 32, or is it some fixed date you want to wait for?

    Cheers /Perry

    I have no specific date in mind, but if we get 32 some time this week, then maybe we can get some thing going for next week.

    I’ll have to check out the calender too, figure 4-5 weeks per rd, and were looking at 5-6 months.  If all goes well, I’d consider starting up a Tech Version at the tail end of this one.

    Oh, open question to anyone, we will need a VC count as a way of winning other than surrender, so what is the normal or default VC total needed?

    I don’t usually play with them so I have no idea what the “standard” is.

    Thanks.

  • Default “Surrender with Honor”  = 15 VC
    Option 1 "Projection                = 13 VC
    Option 2 “Total War”               = 18 VC

    imho default is pretty much total war already :D

  • I vote play until someone conceeds, but if the majority want VCs, then that’s okay too.

    I believe that this is the way that most people play, and playing for victory cities seems somewhat different.  I have never even played 1 VC game in any of the Axis and Allies versions.

  • I vote for 13 VCs. If you get 13 you’re winning anyway, so it’s just a way of shortening the game, and the tournament.

    @Lynxes:

    I vote for 13 VCs. If you get 13 you’re winning anyway, so it’s just a way of shortening the game, and the tournament.

    Ditto. 13 VCs , or concession  :-)
    It is good to have some formal “closing point”, so that games do not drag on and on , even far after any hopes of winning is lost.


  • Many games can still be won with the opponent having 13VCs. So I agree with loser conceding… Just don’t hold out when there’s no hope.  The leader with 13VCs can certainly ask politely for an honourable surrender if they think it’s inevitable.  But who knows, they may get surprised - have seen this on enough occasions to warrant playing games a few more turns to see.

  • Having played in several tourneys at other sites where games have gone to judgment, I’d take a quicker 13 VC game over a “subjective” result any day

    +1 for 13 VC


  • my vote is for a 15 victory city game, anyone who think’s that they can not win before that could concede,
    i think that with the timescale for this tournament, 15 v.c. would work

  • Another thought would be that if people are afraid that the games will take too long, then play for Victory Cities in the first 2 or 3 rounds, and then for the last rounds, play to total victory/concession.
