TWO G40 BOARDS CONFIRMED!  :mrgreen:

Our next game day is Day After Turkey Day! Friday November 26th, 2021. 9am until End!

Mark it down. We would like to have the following games played.

1 - Axis and Allies Global 1940 or 1942. (6 players MAX)

2 - WarRoom (6 players MAX)

3 - Axis and Allies Anniversary Edition Double Blind!! This is a BIG game (no longer than other games though). (7 people MAX). You need 3 on each side to play this game. Italy is a LOT of fun in this game. 1 person will be the Referee (This person is in place already).

4 - I’d like to set up a space if someone wanted to play something different. 1914 or Memoir '44 or possibly a 2nd A&A Global game. This will be setup in a separate space in my office.

That is the limit. 25 players is the CUT OFF.

Please email me if interested: DocFav@GMail.com

@Colt45:

Sounds like it was a blast!

We always have fun Colt …… even when witt joins us! 😉

The Autumn 2015 BoB will be on 8th November.

Then the Winter 2016 one is on 7th February.

Both held in Derbyshire UK. A fun day playing 1942.2!

We currently have 7 definites and 1 possible for both of the above, leaving space for 2 or 3 additional players. First come first served. If interested please either reply to this thread or PM Private Panic.

For various understandable reasons some attendees cancelled and we ended up with 6 players. So we played 2 games:

1. 1914

Played with 2 house rules: max 4 builds in India; land units move 2 if every territory is friendly. Powers were allocated at random:

CPs - Ste
Entente - Andrew (h0lym0nk) as GB, Italy & USA; Adam (Private-Panic) as F & R.

Which may have been a bit unfair as Ste had not played 1914 before!

R was able to consolidate it’s units and overpower a number of G & A-H attacks, eventually advancing into Galicia. G’s advances into France were successfully beaten back by F with GB’s help. And A-H were pushed out of Italy as it’s forces were diverted to the R front and to help G against F.

However, T had some success against GB, resisting GB attacks on Mesopotamia and advancing into Egypt. Also G went on the rampage in Africa, killing off most of the GB & F units sent to knock them out. G’s dreams of an African empire were short-lived, with the USA eventually arriving and creating their own instead.

G & GB navies cowered in their North Sea ports, neither able to find the courage to attack.

With R in Galicia, Italy advancing from the West and the arrival of the USA in Albania, Vienna was increasingly under siege. GB also eventually managed to push T out of Mesopotamia (with R help) and Egypt (supported by some Italian Infantry landings). Virtually all G’s forces were in the West facing F & GB incursions, but giving R space to expand.

The CP surrender was graciously accepted by the Entente!😊

2. Anniversary

Allies - Rob (Dran Black)
Axis - Dave played G; Simon as J; jointly played Italy

I was not in this game, but here is what I think I know!

J took India, but lost a naval battle with the USA in the Pacific. Furious J naval builds recovered some level of maritime parity, but at the cost of limited ground units being dispatched to Asia.

G struggled against R in the early stages, but by the end of the game had attained unit superiority on the eastern front. This was partly because some R units had headed south to recapture India.

The Allies managed to sink the Italian fleet, but at some cost. Consequently they only managed to take F once and promptly lost it to an Italian counter attack. In doing so they put their remaining Atlantic fleet in jeopardy.

G made significant incursions in Africa, but looked certain to lose them again, due to a GB factory in S Africa sending units north.

At the end neither side had sufficient advantage to claim victory. But it was agreed that the Axis were in a stronger position, with quite a lot more income, the possibility of making headway against R and the impending sinking of the Allied Atlantic fleet.

I invite my fellow players to post their own views on these games. Especially to correct my mistakes or fill in any gaps.

@CWO-Marc Very happy to be called Nelson.
And Adam is my Villeneuve.

I’m looking forward to attending the new event this year.

Any tips on what to bring and what to expect in terms of amenities on-site?

It looks as if you can get a room with a kitchenette. I’ve had success with crock pots in the past. Should I bring cash for pizza or group meals?

Also, do we game in a conference room?

Thanks!
