How many of you have played Axis & Allies? It is pretty much the best board game in the history of the world--especially if you love WWII (as all of us here should).
Anyways, I was just sitting here playing the computer version and watching WWII in HD and got an idea...I wanna have a huge eGO A&A tournament thingy.
How it will work
1) Y'all sign up below
2) I assign you team/opponents based on experience (please be honest)
3) As each person's turn comes up, I will get you an update of the map/events and you make your moves. Then I move to the next person's turn.
It's just that simple. If we have several games going, I will take the winning teams (if they are up for it) and compete them against each other until we have a final winning team. It's mostly for fun/bragging rights, but I'll throw in some CC for winners (and maybe something else).
In fact, any of you CC-rich people out there who want to contribute to the pool for the winners too, please let me know.
ALSO...since we are not doing this all in-person, as the game is normally played, I have a few special rule changes:
---You will only be able to see your territories and those immediately surrounding your territories.
---You ARE allowed to communicate with your allies to determine your enemy's forces in areas you cannot directly see. They do not have to tell you about anything you cannot see, and I will not tell you anything.
---You may send fighters/bombers behind enemy lines, on recon missions. Any territory they fly over you will learn what enemy forces exist there. If any territory they fly over has enemy AA guns and/or fighters, they will engage your aircraft.
