Grasshopper's G40 Invitational - Toronto 2017

@Imperious-Leader - sounds good brother! I’ll forward you the data.

@Desert_Admiral:

Do you live in Vegas?

No, I live in San Francisco. But Vegas is an easy trip from SFO.

Bumpity bump bump.

Finally posting after lurking for almost a decade now.  Hi everyone.

There’s going to be a Revised (2004 Edition) tournament at the WBC tournament this year (It’s an annual boardgaming/wargaming tournament/convention.  They typically play Avalon Hill and GMT games.).

The tournament is going to be from Friday, July 21 (Preliminaries) until Saturday, July 22 (Semifinals/Finals).  The convention itself is continuing for the rest of the week (July 22-30).
The format uses a unique ruleset to make the game playable in a limited amount of time.  I can post the rules if you’re interested.

Link(s) to Event Website:
boardgamers.org (Can’t actually post links but you get the idea.  A search of “World Boardgaming Championships” will take you to the page as well)

Ruleset:
@WBC:

Time Limit: 4:30 hrs Standard Bidding.

Adjudication System-
The determination of who wins a tournament game will be based upon the control of Victory Territories (VTs). The Victory City method of determining a winner will NOT be used. Each side controls 12 Victory Territories at the beginning of the game. The Victory Territories are listed below.

AXIS POWERS
GERMANY
Germany
Western Europe
Southern Europe
Eastern Europe
Ukraine SSR
Norway

JAPAN
Japan
Manchuria
French Indochina
Philippine Islands
East Indies
Borneo

ALLIED POWERS
USSR
Russia
Caucasus
Archangel
Novosibirsk

UK
United Kingdom
India
Anglo-Egypt
Australia

USA
Eastern US
Western US
Hawaiian Islands
Sinkiang

If a player holds 18 (or more) VTs for a full round of game play (From the end of a country’s turn to the beginning of that same country’s next turn.), then that player automatically wins the game.

In the event of a VT tie at the end of the game, whichever side increased its IPC total is the winner. If the game is still tied after reviewing the IPC totals, then the GM will make a determination of the winner based upon the game situation at the time the game ended.

If a player chooses to concede a game before it has reached the 18 VT automatic win threshold or the game time limit (4.5 hrs), a default score of 19 VTs and +30 IPCs will be awarded to the winner.

GM (Tournament Organizer.  He can answer any questions better than I can probably) : Craig Yope (NOT ME)
I don’t know the rules for sending email addresses out, so I’d have to PM it to anyone who’s interested.

Weekly Axis and Allies G40 game!
Axis and Allies Global edition! A truly epic and grand strategy game on a global scale! Me and My brother would love to play a game of Axis and Allies Global 1940! And we want to invite 4 more people along for the ride!

WHEN & WHERE

The time and date are 6:00 PM (CST) April 21. And we shall be playing on a private server. The starting date is negotiable but it will be 3 weeks from now. The first meetup will last until everyone either has to go or is tired. Then I will save the game and we will meet up the next week.

Anyone is free to join but there are a few things you need.

A love of fun

A certain knack for miniature warfare.

If someone is unable to arrive for one week we will post pone the game for that week. But anyone who is late or unable to arrive twice WILL be booted out.

We will be using some rules made by Grasshopper. Mainly his victory objectives rules.

WE ARE NOT THE BEST WITH RULES! Everybody goofs with rules now and then. Some people more then others. We will try to stay on top of our game but its likely that we will make a mistake now and then. Just some forewarning there.
