I just wanted to report that had a blast paying Axis & Allies at the convention! Greg (SmoreySwamp) runs a smooth operation - maximizing fun despite the fact it’s only 3.5 days of gaming. The prizes were amazing as well.
You really have to experience it to understand it. It’s a pressure cooker playing in a tournament and it’s a different game of Axis & Allies but still enormously fun.
You echo my thoughts exactly. It was a wonderful experience. And you were a great, classy competitor, our hobby gains much with you being a part of it. Thanks! :-)
