Looking for players in the Minneapolis/ twin cities area

Thank very much for you kind feedback folks, very much appreciated. Edinburgh and Cumbria are a little far to drive, was hoping there may be a gamer closer to Hawick. Not to worry. Thanks again for your rapid feedback!

@bizn I see this an old post but are you guys still active?

We’ve got a core group of five guys that normally play in Flanders with a few more sometimes-y people. 90% of the time we’re at a game store called “The Outpost” in Gent that’s often full of smelly nerds, but the beer is cheap and there’s plenty of space. We start at 12:30pm sharp, and end, at the extreme earliest, at 9pm. The next two games are August 8th and August 23rd, so if you’re in the area and interested, let me know.

I actually live closer to Antwerp, so if you’re already part of a group in either city, I’d love to hear about it as well!

The version we play is A&A 1940 (either european or global, depending on the number of players and time constraints), though I also have access to 1942. I’ve played just about every other version there is as well.

Ik ben geen Belg, en spreek nederlands als een vier of vijf jargie, toch everyone else in the group is a flemish person (except for a dutch guy). I’m from the states and have been here for two years, and will probably be around for at least a year more.

I’ve got 1 person so far, any others?

Cheers

Just a thought,

I am a bit worried from reading all these strategy posts from experienced players that if I learn, early on, from pros, I will lose out on the kind of ‘trial by fire’ learning that might be more fun. I could likely rustle up a player or two on my own who, like me, have never played. Perhaps this is my best bet at this stage. I am just worried that if I start off by learning all the ‘common wisdom’ and ‘no-brainer’ openings that I will take some of the fun out of it. If I learn from experienced players now, I might not be able to entice my (new player) friends to ever play me?

Your advice?
