I’m going to be running an Axis & Allies 1942 Second Edition tournament in the SF Bay Area again at Kublacon. Last year, we had enough people for two rounds of play but I scheduled 3 rounds. This year I’d like to have only two rounds but also accommodate up to 8 teams.
But how do you go from 4 games to 1 final game?
First, we start with the Larry Harris tournament rules and Greg Smorey’s time limit rules.
Next, at the end of the first round only two of the four winners proceed to the next round. The top two winners would be determined by how much they won by.
The gist of this post is, how do you determine the strength of a win.
1. Victory Cities - Net gain or total? Probably total.
2. IPC totals of captured enemy territories
2. OR IPC totals of captured enemy territories minus friendly territories that are enemy occupied.
3. Total Unit Value - TUV
Scenario with made up numbers: Team A, B, C, & D are the winners.
Team A won with 8 VCs, Team B with 7, Team C with 7, Team B with 7
Team A proceeds to the final round.
Team B captured 32 IPCs worth of territories but lost 8. Net is 24.
Team C captured 48 IPSs worth of territies but lost 30. Net is 18.
Team B proceeds to the final round.
Thoughts?
