I am excited to tell you we may have an influx of Axis & Allies players to the league in coming days. There is a group who really like playing Classic, and they are welcome in the league.
Yes, that’s right, for the first time probably ever, A&A.org league will have a section for Classic. They are looking forward to having ELO ratings, league rules and moderation, and playoffs. There is an 8 man tournament starting right now, and those game results will be recorded for them, of course in their own tab. Hopefully several will start playing in the league and some more momentum come with them.
Or the whole thing may not get as far off the ground as the Jan 1986 Challenger, but I wanted to tell you the news. A couple of the guys @Martin @elche are already league regulars.
And of course, it gives you all the opportunity to return to the roots. If you ever had the classic board game, you will love how it looks in Triple A, it is fantastic. And @The_Good_Captain is an absolute ace with the Classic rules and all its versions and variants. If you ever play Classic in any capacity online or with your friends/family, you have a resource.
I played a couple games of classic a year ago at @elche 's nudging and I’m glad I did. I am participating in the tournament (in the tournament section) so will be involved a bit with these guys.
Please prepare to welcome some new blood, even if none of them touch G40
