Chicago Events

Our next game day is Day After Turkey Day! Friday November 26th, 2021. 9am until End!

Mark it down. We would like to have the following games played.

1 - Axis and Allies Global 1940 or 1942. (6 players MAX)

2 - WarRoom (6 players MAX)

3 - Axis and Allies Anniversary Edition Double Blind!! This is a BIG game (no longer than other games though). (7 people MAX). You need 3 on each side to play this game. Italy is a LOT of fun in this game. 1 person will be the Referee (This person is in place already).

4 - I’d like to set up a space if someone wanted to play something different. 1914 or Memoir '44 or possibly a 2nd A&A Global game. This will be setup in a separate space in my office.

That is the limit. 25 players is the CUT OFF.

Please email me if interested: DocFav@GMail.com

Happy to help and would try my upmost to make a date(!). You will enjoy 42. Lovely sculpts!

Yup with new players…
Always hard to find some players but much harder to keep it.
A lot of people don’t like to play 12 or 15 hours in a row… :-o

I know 41 can be considered a poor game. It is however cheap enough almost anyone can buy it. It’s also simple. I’ve taught people to play with 41 and even that can seem daunting to them until they get 2-3 games in. So I have to say 41 is a good starter. Classic is good too probably better actually than 41.

It really depends on how experienced the player is with other games and their interest level. A&A is really a hobby almost more than a game. Overall if you really are opposed to using 41 I’d use Spring 42. I would not start with Global.

Lastly you can always start with a simple board and introduce units, rules etc. in stages and then throw them at global. I think baby steps are the key when introducing someone to the game, how fast they start running will be entirely up to them. You may even want to show them at least the three current versions of the game and say “we’ll start here…but this is where it leads to”.

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.

Hello all.

A little Gameday event happens July 26th, 2008 (YES this SATURDAY) in Wheeling, WV.

General information on the day here.

Directions in this thread.

Not a big deal event just neutral ground to meet some new folks and play a couple of casual games. I’ll have Guadalcanal, Battle of the Bulge and Revised as well as War at Sea minis.
