You may ask, “what the hell double elimination and even after I win I still have to play Cow to get the $25 gift card?” Yep, I would like to know that you earned my money. :) Gift card will be sent to your email or I buy something then send it to you as a gift packaging, either way.

Chaotic? I am the most relaxed. Often watching Rugby, rather than sitting at the game table. No Girlish screaming from me.

Finally posting after lurking for almost a decade now.  Hi everyone.

There’s going to be a Revised (2004 Edition) tournament at the WBC tournament this year (It’s an annual boardgaming/wargaming tournament/convention.  They typically play Avalon Hill and GMT games.).

The tournament is going to be from Friday, July 21 (Preliminaries) until Saturday, July 22 (Semifinals/Finals).  The convention itself is continuing for the rest of the week (July 22-30).
The format uses a unique ruleset to make the game playable in a limited amount of time.  I can post the rules if you’re interested.

boardgamers.org (Can’t actually post links but you get the idea.  A search of “World Boardgaming Championships” will take you to the page as well)

Ruleset:
@WBC:

Time Limit: 4:30 hrs Standard Bidding.

Adjudication System-
The determination of who wins a tournament game will be based upon the control of Victory Territories (VTs). The Victory City method of determining a winner will NOT be used. Each side controls 12 Victory Territories at the beginning of the game. The Victory Territories are listed below.

AXIS POWERS
GERMANY
Germany
Western Europe
Southern Europe
Eastern Europe
Ukraine SSR
Norway

JAPAN
Japan
Manchuria
French Indochina
Philippine Islands
East Indies
Borneo

ALLIED POWERS
USSR
Russia
Caucasus
Archangel
Novosibirsk

UK
United Kingdom
India
Anglo-Egypt
Australia

USA
Eastern US
Western US
Hawaiian Islands
Sinkiang

If a player holds 18 (or more) VTs for a full round of game play (From the end of a country’s turn to the beginning of that same country’s next turn.), then that player automatically wins the game.

In the event of a VT tie at the end of the game, whichever side increased its IPC total is the winner. If the game is still tied after reviewing the IPC totals, then the GM will make a determination of the winner based upon the game situation at the time the game ended.

If a player chooses to concede a game before it has reached the 18 VT automatic win threshold or the game time limit (4.5 hrs), a default score of 19 VTs and +30 IPCs will be awarded to the winner.

I don’t know the rules for sending email addresses out, so I’d have to PM it to anyone who’s interested.

Yup but still waiting your presence….

I’m trying to collect some data on average bids for tournament play, specifically the “official” tournament rules that Greg Smorey uses.

Please list whatever information you recall from any of the tournaments that you have attended in the last year. Please only list timed face-to-face tournament bids.

When I’m at GenCon this year, I’ll try to collect as much of this data as possible.

This should be a useful resource for everyone who plays tournaments.

here we go again

After a cease of fire of 3 months, the world at war club members are ready to fight.
We’re going to test our new merchent marine and lend lease rule.

Well here’s the result.

After 16 turn.
It’s a draw!
USSR repulsed all the Axis attack.
England/France lost his colonies and India but keep the control of the atlantic ocean. 
Japanese keep control of the pacific ocean and shut down China. 
USA fails to conquer Europe and Japan.               
Germany contol the major part of Europe but cannot go far.
The most surprising story is the strong opposition of Italy.

We were in front of the whale and the elephant situation.

There’s a problem with the Axis power.
No victory since march 2007!
Japan player is the individual winner of the game.

Next game is schedule for february/march 2009.

I just got back from the World Boardgamers Championship. It was the best time I’ve ever had. I played a dozen games in a day, and almost won a few. Unfortunately I didn’t arrive in time for the A&A tournement, but I heard it was a blast. I can’t wait for next year.
