Just making sure, the Alpha3 version currently on TripleA is the one we are using, a.k.a. version 3.9?

I expect this tournament to move more quickly than people expect.
The double elimination, or “secondary” bracket, will run at the same time, and I’ll upload an Excel Spreadsheet with each team name and thier placement/games etc.
TripleA should help move things along more quickly, and I’ll have some additional rule alotments for dealing with things like players who disappear from teams etc.
32 - 16 - 8 - 4 - 2 - winner, is only 5 games, with a possibility of 6 if you come out of the secondary bracket. Yea, tournament games can often take some time, but what we can also do here, is let people play at their own pace, as soon as their opponents become available. That should bleed off some of the seed games rather quickly, and keep things moving at a quick pace.
A total of something like 68 games will be played.
As for another tourny…
Depending on the success of the tournament of extra death and pain, how long it takes, and what happens along the way, there may be another one. Hosted by yours truly of course, likely re-appearing in may, or perhaps bi-annually, which means you’d better be planning for a winterline offensive in November.
ghr2, if you are looking for a partner, PM Make It Round, Desert Journalist, or Gliven!
yes guerrilla.
Are you, by any chance THE Guerrilla_J? The one who has a score of 2-2 with me to settle in aa50? I got 1 axis 1 allies win and you got 1 allies and 1 axis win. I haven’t seen you game on the lobby in forever, I like log in everyday hoping to see Yamamot0 or you willing to game with me again. =( I don’t think we had a dice game, they were all low luck. Let me refresh your memory I had 50/50 on russia with germany and I lost, the rest I forgot how they went, because losing that 50/50 was too funny. Either way you were the most frustrating person to play in aa50 for me.
There is another Guerilla that plays PBEM games, I heard was really good, but wasn’t sure if you two were the same person. Either way I expect your team to be the most challenging.
Soulfein is really good, we played together. He was always axis though and my allies was my weak suit till about recently.
I’ll take team #32.
Let’s call it ‘Creature Commandos’ in honor of the old Weird War comics; we’ll fight like we’re possessed!
Will take the first two volunteers who PM me to fill out the team…
Looking forward to it,

Ok, so complete noob here drafted, and I need a team.
I am warning you now; I don’t mince words. When I say noob, I mean nahoooo-buhhhh. The only A&A experience I have is a half-hearted game of Revised (I think) about ten years ago, and one complete turn of Spring '42. I recently picked up Spring '42, and I pretty well have the rules down for it. I just haven’t had much chance to play. Most of my friends don’t have the attention span for games like these.
I have downloaded TripleA, and I fiddled with it a bit.
Pick me if you are completely prepared to have no shot winning $200. haha
I haven’t been able to really come up with a base-line strategy for this game yet, so expect extra noob-sauce on this Big Mac.
Gazza and Satin purple, you should both PM Make It Round ASAP!
32 teams!!! Ante up Garg…$300!!!
how do you get hold of make it round pm but recipients could found

Sadly no, I’ve only played TripleA solo to test strategies… I think we will have scores to settle by the end of this tournament. ;)

OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT NOTES
1. Remember to read the Rules.
2. Remember rule #1, this is my tournament and I’m in charge, what I say goes. Â (Think benevolent dictatorship :) )
3. Remember rule #2, this tournament is about having fun, so DO THAT, points will be given out to players who treat other players with RESPECT, and enjoy a game of fair play, Â The concept you should observe is that you want to play your opponent at THEIR best, so give them some room when they make errors, so long as it doesn’t change to outcome of dice (Any dice) at your discretion.
4. Remember to use common sense, YES, you should try to post WHEN you can, and if you don’t post (atleast a note) for more than a week, I reserve the right to cut you loose, and so do your TEAM MATES.
5. Remember to expect ANYTHING, after all, this is the Tournament of EXTRA DEATH AND PAIN
6. Â For your Thread titles use the following
XPAD-01 Â Team Name (AXIS) vs Team Name, when you make it to round 2 and so on, Â XPAD-02 Team Name (AXIS) vs Team Name,
If team names are too long, shorten them accordingly.
IF YOU LOSE A GAME - you are now in the LAST STAND BRACKET, use XPAD-ls-01
7. Make sure you have read tournament rule #7, And then make sure you have read it again.
You may begin whenever you are ready, but May 18th, is the official start. Â Feel free to do any last minute team changes you see/feel are necessary.
OOP,
As it’s Extra DEATH and PAIN, making it XDAP not XPAD, for thread titles.
i don’t see my team in there… Team 6 (axisplaya + Pomme + Septimus)
Are we scheduled to play game 12 ?
Also, what is tournament rule #7 ?
