Just curious…

If it were teams, I could definitely see the possibility of my brother, uncle and I thinking hard about this…

I want to try it out even if there isn’t teams, but it would be easier to convince my uncle and brother if there were.

Greetings,

AAMC is currently taking sign ups for our Revised Combat Leaders/Lieutenant tournaments.  Sign ups will be open until Oct. 25.  This is a ranked tournament, with the top players going into the Combat Leaders draw and the lower ranked or new players going into the Lieutenant draw.  If you are new to PBEM or to the Revised ruleset, then it is a good way to get a taste of tournament action with out having to face some of the top players.

If you have any questions about the club, don’t hesitate to ask.

Tarkin
Chairman AAMC

I, for one, LOVE Battlemap… :-D

Date change, I don’t forsee any outside visitors but what the heck it would be interesting if we can draw any.

Seven months and counting…… Hope to see ya there and then some

Our next meet up will include two separate Global 1940 games (Alpha 3 rule set) along with at least one of the earlier versions of Axis and Allies. If you live in the Atlanta area and want to take part in some epic strategy gaming, feel free to stop by on September 23rd:

@Gargantua:

WTH!

If David can pull placing 2nd place, then I’m coming down there next year to stomp some pain into people.

I know right???  That’s pathetic.  And these guys call themselves “Masters”.  BAAW HAAW HAAW. :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW- a lot of greyheads :-D

I got my tickets in May and they were just starting to go up. I could’ve flown in from SF for under $400. I waited a week and paid like $440. I may not be the one deciding whether I can go or not. I have two sets of friends getting married next year and I don’t know when. Chances are one wedding will be in the middle of GenCon and the other in the middle of the Beer Bloggers Conference. I seriously doubt they will conflict with FMGC13 and Spring Gathering XI.

@squirecam:

Once you go…you gotta go back.

Get airline tickets in February (or earlier) and that saves costs. Also, try and get into the gencon housing block on the 1st day, which also is the lowest local hotel prices.

Surprise Attack, yes I got it to work. A little low in sound but works great. Â

Crusaderi, yes i would love the rules if you don’t mind.

@miamiumike:

I need someone to explain a bit better how this chess clock idea will work.

Let’s say the tournament round is set for 6 hours (which is what AA50 games are set to currently). This would then mean each team has 3 hours of time? In the middle of round 6, Italy is up and opps - the Axis run out of time - they automatically lose?

If this is correct, then I guess that means we want to have NO new people play the game. Not even people who have played but are not true ‘experts’. The only situation I could see possibly thinking about using this idea would be in a Masters type tournament. That would be it. Otherwise, you will kill any non-hardcore player from ever even attempting a tournament game. For the Masters, it might work.

I’d be willing to give it a try - just to see how it goes - but I cannot see how this helps grow the number of people who would want to play in a tournament.

MM

I discuss the check clock idea further here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27947.0

GHR2 - Please stop by the A&A area and introduce yourself to us - always love to meet new people.

Sadly, last year the 1942 tournament was poorly attended - everyone was playing AA50 and there was a lot of G50 going on as well.

Hopefully, this year, by using the new 1942 2nd Edition game, we can get more players involved. There are some great prizes available and I think though not perfect, the format provided works for most people.

My name, as you might expect, is Mike and I look forward to meeting you!

Ok, looks like it will most likely be the weekend of 10/26. That’s Fri, 10/26 through Sun, 10/28. My buddy and I from So Cal will definitely be coming. There may be another friend of ours from So Cal coming as well. Plus, possibly another friend of ours from N. Cal. Our friend from N. Cal is a long shot. So, most likely three of us. Then, we have another two good possibilities(never met in person but corresponding through A&A.org) from S. Cal that will be coming as well. So, that’s 4 or 5 most likely confirmed.

this is not a major event in anyway but,

We are trying to start a core group to play Axis & Allies Miniatures every week on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM.
We are located in Buffalo Grove a Suburb of NW chicago. So if you like to play you are all welcome to come on out.
There is no charge or fee to play.

@FieldMarshalGames:

I am in!!  As long as I can take a break for some ROE here and there….

Exellent!

@Young:

I just modified the entries correctly, very nice work from both of you, the reason I took so many pics of the ROE table was because it was very photogenic (and because it was a blast to play).

Was IWNGU’s painted units the paratroopers crossing the road, or the last pic with the 3 in one?

The paratroopers are the last pic of 3 (painted by Ken).
The group crossing the road are German Grenadiers (painted by myself).

Cool…thanks for the update…that’s what I tought about the new infantry rules

Sorry guy maybe next time.
I redone my kitchen and it’s not finish yet!!
