The Field Marshal Gaming Convention, now in its 6th year, is an annual celebration of tabletop gaming held in Oshawa, Ontario every September. This weekend long event is host to tabletop games of all kinds, from your traditional (and not-so-traditional, modern) board games, card and dice games to miniatures gaming.
This is a family friendly event that is meant to create a weekend of fun and gaming with friends, old and new held in a historic and atmospheric building.
Come for a day, or come for the entire weekend – in either case, come for the fun of tabletop gaming!
Date: August 27-28, 2016
Location: RCAF 420Wing, 1000 Stevenson Road North, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

S.A.Good to hear SA, we will be playing Global at the bunker on Friday… you’re more than welcome to crash at my place for the weekend as well.

Cool deal!

Tournament? Yeah … tournament.
Details to be announced, however, this will be something everyone can participate in casually over the course of the entire event weekend, with prize(s).
No, it will not be an Axis and Allies Tournament, sorry. We lack the time and resources for that sort of grand endeavour at this point (as was discussed at great length with several people who were looking to make it happen if at all possible last year).

How many days and counting? I will bring my G40 and some small boards

My alternator went in my car this morning on my way to work. That will scrub my plans for going to F.M.G.'s game con. This will be the 3rd year I’ve missed it, I am so bummed out it sucks
Sorry guys maybe next year

S.A.No problem SA, I was looking forward to seeing you again, but I understand (can’t drive to Canada without an alternator). Next year’s convention will be even better… hope to see you then.

I hope there will be many pictures
