Welcome to the 27th Anniversary of Atlantic Storm!
Thank you for the support this core group of players continues to deliver and new players that join each year. We are proud to be included in the Century List each year. This year I’ve coordinated with Naval War and Enemy In Sight to ensure players that like all of our events can play in all heats with no overlap!
The 2025 event will advance only winners in heat games to the Semifinal. There will be no alternates/2nd place advancers. Up to 36 heat winners will advance to six 6-player Semifinal games. If there are more than 36 winners present for the Semifinal, the advancement will be determined by the Heats Most Wins – Points Standard Tie-breakers listed below.
Seating will be random using the world famous “Coussis Method” with as needed adjustments for teammates, family, etc. The goal for player balance is 5-player tables however based on player count breaks we may have some 6-player tables.
Version Options:
The default will be the original Avalon Hill edition. Upon signing in advise the GM if you’d like to play Pacific Typhoon or the Admiral Edition of Atlantic Storm and we will do our best to accommodate a table of “like minded” players. Also, if all players at a table agree to play a specific version, you're welcome to play that version. However, it must be unanimous, otherwise, default back to the original AH Version.
Atlantic Storm Original: Games will be played using all advanced multiplayer rules.
Pacific Typhoon: Games will be the standard game. The Chronological, Short, or Team variants that are in the rule book are NOT to be used.
Admiral Edition: This edition will use a 40-card convoy deck by removing 12 convoys before starting which will be revealed prior to shuffling. (This aims to keep the length of game consistent)
Pay particular attention to the rule regarding sharing of spoils in all versions.
The Semifinal and Final will be played with the original version of Atlantic Storm.
The GM will be playing in the event and Assistant GM's will be announced at the start of each round.
Additional Prizes: Additional Prizes will be provided by the publisher, GMT Games.
