Tourney starts Saturday. One day left to sign up. 25 people so far. Cash Prizes : )
AA50-41 PBF Tourney Discussion (Sign-up - Closed)
-
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 VCimho 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.

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 work1. Mr Morden

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.

Okay, it looks like we got 32. I’ll stop the sign-up here, and anyone that shows interest will be considered an alternate incase someone doesn’t show up for their rd 1 game.
Maybe we can get this thing going this week.
As for the Endgame
The problem with only loser concedes is basically just due to time. That is usually how I play and I never play specifically for VC count, but I don’t think that is feasible for a tourney. There needs to be an “out” prior to judgment since I don’t really want to judge games. Obviously a player can concede at any time, but having a back door VC total needed will help in games where you’ve taken a capital, but to try and take out Japan or the UK to finish the job is going to be a pain. That’s why I’m kind of leaning toward 15, since I’d like people to have to at least take a capital, and with 13 you can alter your game and just play for that. IIRC, I think it is possible for the Allies to get 14 without ever taking Berlin, Rome, or Tokyo.
I don’t think it should be too much of an issue I think the vast majority of games will end with loser concessions.
-
15 VC means for axis they need to take out…… ottawa :roll: :mrgreen:
but you are right. unless u have some bogus fool refusing to accept loss, it shouldnt be a problem. also 15 VC is OOB rules, so why not just stick with that.
-
Maybe you could take Wus. :-D
Yeah, I’d hope the Allies would seriously consider surrendering if the Axis had 14 VC after the US turn.
