A&A G40 Con 2018 Vegas

@aa_sloth

You can play against any other player who is also a member on this forum.

All games must be recorded at the Game Report thread on this forum with pictures and text.

I suggest that you check out Global 1940 No. 12 Game Report - this will give you an idea of how your Game Reports could look.

Next year, of course!

I am hosting the Axis & Allies events at NashCon in Franklin, TN just south of Nashville on May 22-24.

http://www.meetup.com/Nashville-Axis-Allies-Meetup/events/221934955/

NashCon is held at the Cool Springs Marriott Convention Center in Franklin, TN.

Our group will focus on casual Axis & Allies board games: 1942, Global, Classic, and 1914. We will also hold a 1942 tournament.

This is our first year at NashCon. We plan to expand our tournament offerings in the future.

We have special pricing for admittance to NashCon for Nashville Axis & Allies Meetup Members of $15 for the weekend. All fees will be used to support tournament and raffle prizes.  Please RSVP at the link above.

NashCon is a gaming convention featuring Historical miniatures, tournaments, fantasy and science fiction games, role playing, board games, Advanced Squad Leader tournament and much more.

Ok, looks like it will most likely be the weekend of 10/26. That’s Fri, 10/26 through Sun, 10/28. My buddy and I from So Cal will definitely be coming. There may be another friend of ours from So Cal coming as well. Plus, possibly another friend of ours from N. Cal. Our friend from N. Cal is a long shot. So, most likely three of us. Then, we have another two good possibilities(never met in person but corresponding through A&A.org) from S. Cal that will be coming as well. So, that’s 4 or 5 most likely confirmed.

The Danish Viking Con from the 14th to the 16th will be granted
a visit from www.caac.dk  :-D

There will be a competition. If you are able to beat the best Axis and Allies player
in Denmark - the one-and-only Ghostglider - you will win a copy of Europe 40.

The rest of the weekend there will be lotsa axis game played…

No he bought the one where africa is cut off and the game takes a long time to play.

I have been haunting this board for well over a year now and I am very interested in participating in this tournament, which is why I finally got around to registering.

I do have an opinion about the burnout issue, though. I believe that the burnout and turnover rates of the singles tourney was primarily a result of the time limit. I noticed that many of the games had warnings issued and a few of the games were defaulted out because life got in the way of the time limits for some of the paticipants. Nobody can guarantee that they will be available every other day for three months and it shouldn’t be expected of anyone.  Although, with teams it should be less demanding because now there will be three players moving before anybody has to post a new move. Also, I can understand imposing a strict time limit for this tourney if the intention is to finish it before the end of the year so that the 2007 Tournament season can be given a longer lifespan and allow for a greater number of entrants. Now, I’m not saying that a relaxed time limit will fix the burnout issue but it might be worth a try if you run into the same problems as the singles tourney.

Note- this is not a dig on the way the other tournament was run because you guys were more than lenient on the time infractions and nobody seemed to get too twisted about it. I was just saying.

Like I said, if the intent is to finish quickly so the 2007 season can have a whole year to play then Switch’s suggestion seems equitable.

Otherwise, I would prefer a double elim to keep a team from getting kicked out because they got hosed by the dice, especially if it’s early. My suggestion would be a best 2 out of 3 with the first 2 games being run similar to the triple-a style. Each team will play one game as the axis and one as the allies running at the same time. The teams playing will negotiate the bid with the knowledge that whatever they will be getting as the axis they will also be giving as the allies so that should keep the bids from getting out of hand. In case of ties, the third game would be an auction bid with the starting point being the bid from the first two games and going from there. I prefer this way because if we are going to declare a team A&A champion, they will have to show their prowess on both sides of the board and it will prevent teams from riding their preferred side all the way to the champoinship. In order to allow for the extra games you should probably start the tournament as soon as 8 teams sign up.

I also like the week off between games. That should help with the burnout.

ADS and LHTR definitely.
