Thanks for the clarifications James, looking forward to it.

I’m planning to attend the SCARAB gaming convention in Columbia SC on January 17, 2015. If anyone else in the SC area would be interested in going, it’s $20 for a day pass to the convention, if we can get an A&A game going I’d like to start by about 10:00 AM. I have Pacific 1940, I think it would be cool to play a game of Global 1940 but I don’t have a copy of Europe.

If you’re interested in attending and playing a game of A&A, let me know!

@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.

@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.

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

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

@Young:

Team Grasshopper surrendered to team Gargantua due to foreseeable conditions.

Yeah, I ate the board, and half of the other team because of it!

You owe me a board BTW…… (Again).

Yeah , tell him dezrtfish said hello too, havn’t talked to axisndallas in quite some time.  I used to know a guy named Conan in Dallas as well aka intocablex… I lost touch with a lot of guys when I went to Iraq.
