Making the Transition to A World At War ...

A field of fourteen veteran and two new players participated. The gamemaster-provided playing aids (spiral-bound and tabbed) that were a big hit, considerably easing play. Jason Moore took first place for his performance as the European Axis (predicted to survive until Fall 1946), playing with partner Brian Conway against Mike Crowe and Tim Francis. Tim received fourth place for his play as the Pacific Allies (predicted conquest of Japan in Spring or Summer 1945). Brian Conway received fifth place for his play. Bill Moodey took second place as Japan (predicted to hold out until at least Winter 1945), playing with partner Eric Scheulin, against Joe Brophy, Victor Hogen and Rob Carl. Rob received third place for his play as the Russians, resulting in a predicted conquest of Germany by early 1945. First time attendees, Jeff and Trevor Mathis, as Axis, gamely took on Californians Jon Hogen and Ken Cruz. The Axis folded early, yielding an Allied decisive victory, but Jeff and Trevor fought to the end. Ken predicted they would become excellent players before long. The Mathis brothers received sixth place for their good sportsmanship and enthusiasm for the game. Jim Sparks and Graham Kays played a Europe-only game, which resulted in an Allied victory in Fall 1944, with Phil Mathis (father of Jeff and Trevor) taking Jim's place late in the game. Detailed descriptions of the games will be provided at www.aworldatwar.com. An expanded format is planned for next year to encourage newcomers. Four rounds, with two rounds for beginners (North Africa and Battle of the Atlantic scenarios), third round Barbarossa scenario, and fourth round European or Global Campaign games (experienced players can proceed immediately to the fourth round).
