So I'd like to hold a before-school just "for bragging rights" online match Tournament, but I want to gauge the interest first.
I'm thinking for brevity sake a quick single-elimination style tournament where each player builds and submits one axis OR one allied fleet.
1942, 200 points, Single-nation (w/ minor support allowed)
UK + Commonwealth
US + Aus/Brazil
France + Spain
USSR + Sweden/Turkey
...
KM + Fin
Italy + Romania
IJN + Thai
First round games will be worth 1 point to the winning side, 2nd round games 2 points, 3rd round games 3 points, etc.
If Axis has to play axis or allied v. allied, it will be for elimination only, no points.
One other "CRAZY" build restriction. There are now SO MANY units in the game - even at the 1942 level that this will be a HIGHLANDER tournament (air excepted). Meaning there can be only one of each named ship/sub in your builds. I realize that this does restrict some builds and nations harder than others, but meh, lets use those cards. Air would be excepted but not immune. Each aircraft is limited to no more than 3 of that type. So no more than 3 P40's, Zekes, Kondors, etc.
One last restriction set. There are 2 OP units still available at the 1942 level that could unfairly unbalance the builds. TBF Avenger (though pricey) and the Yamato. These units are banned. Use the TBF-1's and the MANY other IJN BB's.
OK, so who is interested? - hoping for at least 8!
I will play with an Axis Fleet (preferred), but can switch sides if needed.
1. Using different revisions of the same ship - i.e. Swizzle's Bismarck and WoTC Bismarck - is NOT allowed, but using River Plate Graf Spee and WoTC Graf Spee IS allowed. Correct?

2. All cards are in play correct?
Question #1 seems to ask the same thing in two different ways, but does bring up a good point.
1) Ships of the same name i.e. HMS Hood and Operation Catapult Hood would not be allowed in the same build as they represent the same unit. Same for any unit with an Operational Variant. You can take the Original or the OpVar, but not both.
