Thanks heaps

@Krieghund
Playing under tournament rules, Italy has become politically collapsed resulting in Rome and its port being capture by AH. On a subsequent turn Rome has become contested between the US and AH.

When entering the SZ the Rome Port is situated in, do the Entente or CP have to roll for sea mines now it is contested?

Thanks heaps

@ericwool well played guys, I enjoyed following along.

Hey mate,

We have had pretty good success with using the below bidding system with an average bid of 6 (2 inf). We ONLY use the tactics and order cards. Fortune cards are NOT used.

The actual bid will be for a number of I.P.C.'s (based on AA Revised IPC values) that the Axis will give the Allies (US and UK ) before the start of the game. Even though there are no IPC’s in the game, this IPC value is an imaginary loan from the bank. This number of I.P.C.'s may be used to buy land units only. You may not purchase air support. Once the bid number has been determined, the Allies will make their purchase and place all pieces on the game board in either beachhead boxes or airborne drop zones. The total number of units in the beachhead boxes and airdrop zones may exceed the silhouette maximum for the bid units place in these zones for turn one only. Airdrop zones may not have armor placed in them as a bid, only infantry.

We found even having those extra 2 infantry in an airbourne drop zone can make a difference. You could also start with 2 infantry and slowly increase it to see what suits your play group.

Results are around 50/50 since implementing this.

@AcesWild5049 Interested to see this South African IC in action

Thanks for the 1914 write up mate, looks like a great game. How many rounds did you play for?

Have you thought about using the Tournament rules economic victory points to decide a victor?

@djensen said in 1942 Online Tournament?:

I’m thinking the tournament would be 16 players/teams in a Compass format. In that format, everybody plays 5 games and you end up with 8 ranked winners.

Here’s how it looks: https://www.printyourbrackets.com/images/16-compass.pdf

Could you not use a swiss format with a top 4 cut?

@COJOH Hey mate, if there is a suggestion to play with the tournament rules, I would second this with a bid of at least 12 to the CP. Good luck and have fun!

Looks like no 1914 tournament?

@Krieghund The rules you posted are different to what Greg has been using at Gen Con (or at least what is posted on his site). Please see link:

https://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/ah/AA_WWI_1914_rules.pdf

Are we able to confirm, which of these rule sets is currently being used at Gen Con and Origins in case there has been an update many players are unaware of?

Thanks Heaps
