The rules of the AAM Cup and the participants16 participants will battle it out for the gold medal in the "AAM Cup", the fourth event of the Forumini Olympics.
It's a first-come first-served competition, so run quickly to sign up when I unlock it.
You sign up in this thread and
* pick a side (Axis or Allies).
- The first round (16 participants) will have a year limit of 1939 and max. total cost 50 pts. No heroes. Max. number of units 8.
- The second round (8 participants) will have a year limit of 1941 and max. total cost 65 pts. No heroes. Max. number of units 10.
- The third round (semi-finals) will have a year limit of 1943 and max. total cost 80 pts. No heroes. Max. number of units 12.
- The fourth round (finals) will have no year limit and max. total cost of 100 pts. Limit of 1 hero. Max. number of units 15.
You can use any combination of nations as long as they are of the same side (Allies or Axis), even Russians with other Allies, or Japanese with other Axis. You choose your army when you learn who your opponent is. Since it depends purely on the choices of the people and the result of the draw, there WILL be same-side battles (axis vs axis, or allies vs allies).
When you choose your armies, you send them to me in a private message. I post them in the thread of your game, when both you and your opponent send me your armies. Then you are good to go. Use the embedded dice-roller for the dice and make your own images with gimp, paintbrush or any other image editing software. You simply write down the name of the unit on its hex and then post the image on a photobucket account. If you need any help all moderators can help you and most users of this forum.
We don't use the extended Rules as many haven't bought them and they are not available online.
No discounts for single-nation armies and no platoon cards.
Use the AAM units database http://www.wizards.com/avalonhill/aam_db.asp for units for which you don't have the cards. Alternatively you can use: http://www.hordelings.com/frontend/games/aam/items.php or http://www.boardgamegeek.com/file...oad/23758/A&A_Minis_stats.xls
Notice that: The German SS-Panzergrenadiers and the American Ranger units cost 7, instead of 5.
The CUP will be a normal single-elimination tournament (stage of 16, stage of 8, semi-finals, final)
I will release the first map soon. Before you choose armies, but not before you register and choose sides.
Do not expect any mod to be a referee for your matches. If you need rules clarifications you post them in the AAM Rules Clarifications subforum. If you need any tournament clarifications you post in the Q&A thread of this subforum.
The points allocated for the final ranking in the event will be the same as in the WAS Admirals Cup:
| Code: |
Winner: 40 pts
2nd: 30pts
3rd-4th: 20pts (those who lost in the semi-finals)
5th-8th: 10pts (those who lost in the second round)
9th-16th: 2pts (those who lost in the first round)
|
These points will count towards the final overall ranking after all events finish, which will decide the FORUMINI OLYMPIC WINNER

No it really doesn't. The reason I say That is unfortunatly I do not have many Axis Units, Especially from Latter sets. So I do not have the Cards Readily Available.
My deck Says Allies, My Heart says Axis.
LOL
I would be More then Happy to Play Axis. Allies V Allies every round would get boring. As Long as Peeps helped me out with some Card Stats.
[edit by N.D. OK then it's Axis for you ]
