Hello there, I’m Nuts, for general Anthony Mcaullife’s famous words when asked to surrender In the battle of Bastogne. I play G40 and used to frequently play anniversary.

RE: Is there a world champion for this game?
@SuperbattleshipYamato sad but true. If renegade sponsored an official tournament, however, we could host a set of prelims at game conventions around the world, leading to continental tournaments, leading up to a championship game. This is different to chess, however, where they have multiple tournaments.

True. However, to some, the feel and movement of the real game is proffered by some.

RE: Axis & Allies Team Cup 2024 Discussion and Planning
@djensen I think it might make sense to boil down bulge, d-day, and Guadalcanal into one round, letting players choose, as not all players have all three. Here’s my list.
- G40
- 42SE
- Anniversary
- North Africa
- Classic
- Guadalcanal, D-day, Bulge
- Revised

@SuperbattleshipYamato It’s just the way I saw @djensen put it on his list.

@djensen Why are we not including both d-day and bulge? I suppose it would make sense as many only have d-day and bulge deserves love.

RE: Axis & Allies Team Cup 2024 Discussion and Planning
@DoManMacgee I agree with you. Some consider Global War 1936-45 an A&A game. I’m not saying that it can’t be considered one, but if we’re only using mainline games, does it count? After all, it’s not manufactured by Hasbro, who holds the rights, or Renegade, who manufactures the game currently.

RE: Is there a world champion for this game?
@vodot That is absolutely true. Perhaps the idea of an international tournament with a world champion isn’t so far fetched. Though there should probably be a prize pool and pay to enter. Maybe a full set of every A&A game released or the title of head playtester for new games. Also, I imagine a tournament every 4 years would make sense, as it would give time for practice.

@shadowhawk I’m with you here. Low luck takes out all ability to have unplanned combat and surprise the enemy.

RE: Is there a world champion for this game?
@shadowhawk I think it absolutely is a game of skill. Otherwise, it would be a game of luck, which it partially is due to the dice. But mostly, it takes strategy.

RE: Is there a world champion for this game?
@SuperbattleshipYamato That’s just what I think. Also, my idea was stolen from the Nintendo world championship, the first esports event. Maybe I’m wrong and Hasbro\Renegade would devote resources. I was just looking at it by way of having been a Nerf fan. I watched the devolution of well built, quality products into clipped together, faulty hunks of plastic. I know that it’s not the way our franchise is immediately headed, but things can change quickly; like when Renegade got us a new game after years of reprints and poor management and zombies. Plus, the fan base is passionate. Perhaps we could bond together. After all, we do here! But we’d need to find players willing to contribute money and time to the cause.
