Advanced A&A tactics-Russians don't attack first theme

@Panther Thanks!

@andrewaagamer I have not heard of such a document, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

@Wolfshanze:

Sad to say, my daughter defeated me in Risk this week… her eye for strategy is in her genes.  I might have to introduce the kids to 1941 soon!

She sounds like she has the potential to rise through the ranks very quickly.  I’m reminded of a quote from the WWII-era movie Air Force, in which the enlisted crew chief of a B-17 proudly announces that his son (a fighter pilot) has just received his commission as a Lieutenant: “Can you imagine me saluting my own kid?”

2.0 is a totally different game. never liked 1942 1.0

Thanks for posting these up YG.

I just want to chime in here and say these are the rules for the FMGCon AA42.2 tournament this year that I “wrote”.  Essentially I took the rules from Smorey Swamp and adjusted them to a Swiss Tournament format and adjusted for time restraints.

Otherwise, it’s basically the same tourney rules that Greg runs at his big convention games.

If anyone has any issues or concerns, absolutely let us know. These are not yet 100% final, and the details of the tournament are still up in the air to be finalized.

First draft of the tournaments details;

Rules as above 16 player limit (8 tables with 2 players per table) 3 rounds @ 2.5 hours (with 1/2 hour between rounds for breaks and resetting the boards) Winner decided based on points Prize TBD (Trophy + ?) No extra entry fee (must have an FMGCon weekend pass) Advance sign up required

Great thanks. We thought so but just wanted to check as was not clear in the book.

The 40th anniversary ed of Risk was glorious.  All the little touches like the velvety bags and nice weighty pieces did not go unappreciated. I bust it out on special occassions. :)
I was always very fond of the 1993 board, colors and deck design. The throw back wooden box is nice in its way too, with the generic blocks and tinier map. I sometimes use it with people who’ve never played. But I never got into the modern boards or redesigns. For me the 1812 look fit the board best so those are my go to’s.

For the future of the franchise it’s hard to say, with the rights and who owns what, but I am definitely intrigued by War Room. Axis and Allis is a strong name, so it would be nice to see it continued with input from the designer, but a War Room game that had a similar dynamic to the gameplay, and I’d happily jump ship. Or call it War Room: Allies and Axis heheh, for the left jab. Whatever it’s called I’ll surely buy it and play.

Eager to hear more about the rules and concepts he’s planning.

If the Soviets fly their fighter to Egypt on R1 start preparing to hit Russia hard. With a KJF in progress you’ll need to pressure Caucasus as quickly as possible.
