Kudos to Ingcameroni and Hammond for very good sportsmanship ! It sounds like a very good game. If possible, can you post the game file?

Cheers, Deltium

@Rock - thanks for your note. I'll definitely do another one of these in a couple months. I'm busy with the normal Revised tournament at the moment, but I promise to launch a new one shortly.

Cheers, Deltium

Deltium (Allies) defeats Blackskull (Axis, 10 bid) in Round 9.

First, Blackskull is a friendly and good opponent. A fairly traditional game where Germany stacks Karelia early and the Japanese begin the advance to Persia, along with trading in Africa to keep the Allies on the defensive as much as possible. Allies try to play a patient strategy to let the gradual economic advantages outweigh the early tactical gains by the Axis.

Kudos to Blackskull for even squeezing in some turns during his brother-in-law's wedding in Italy. If you have not ever been to an Italian wedding before, it is very distracting ! Between the wonderful food, wine, and beautiful Italian women, it is very hard to find any time to play Axis and Allies !

Thanks again for the good game Blackskull and hope that you do well in the rest of the tournament. Cheers, Deltium

@Cernel - yes, definitely, could you please remove? Thanks for noting that.

Received an email from @King-Kelly versus his game with @ingcameroni :

ING won with Axis 9, very good game by Axis with ship strategy and some dice luck in the beginning. The the Jap tanks rolled towards Russia, to seal the deal. Very nice strategy and well played by ING. Congrats!

@jbwood53 - sure, no problem. Thanks for inquiring.

The map for Anniversary is:

World War II v3 1941 - for the 1941 map setup
World War II v3 1942 - for the 1942 map setup

Cheers, Deltium

As an active player over at Daak and AAMC, they use LHTR exclusively, so this issue is not present there at all. Personally, for my 2 cents in this very complicated and very nuanced discussion, LHTR clears up a LOT of ambiguity, and I prefer that over the standard OOB rules. However, it is clear that the standard rules are more appealing here at TripleA, so this discussion is worthwhile and noteworthy.

I've read the various posts here, and it may come down to us simply accepting the coding of the software currently (e.g. and codifying this as the official "Club Rule" in this regard), or if the members feel differently, to ask the developers to change the code, and state the rule in the interim. I would add, however, that the list of "to dos" for the developers is very deep, and there are far greater priorities, so I would not expect for this to be resolved quickly (or easily).

Either way, we should codify the rule in the Revised Tournament Rules section of our Forum to avoid any confusion on this.

Warm Regards, Deltium
