Spring Gathering / GenCon 2025

@witt Hi Leo. Actually 3 Axis and 1 Allied victory - in the second of the 2 games of Anniversary.

@SS-GEN Thanks mate.

Welcome to the forum Colin!

P.S. Do tell us what it is that you have to feel guilty about? :zipper_mouth_face:

Hey thanks, SS

Looks like Carl and Nephew went on to win the 42.2–they played the new entrants (i think?) Doug and Shawn, who went all the way from green recruits to the final!

And congrats to my friends on the Dixon/Butler/Seacrest team for taking G42.  Plenty of upsets, Mr. Czach and Roby/Davidson took 2nds so that’s multiple favored teams getting upset and vicious seasoned competition in every rule set.

See you next year friends.  Jon

Credulous has provided the following battle report on the other game:

The 1942 game was contested between Credulous and two non-forum players from the village. The Axis very quickly established themselves as firm favourites for the win wiping out a significant Russian stack in Karelia, and the Siberian army massing on the Japanese border. The Allies never really recovered from these early losses, which were compounded with the early loss of Egypt and India. In a desperate bid to counter the American’s launched an audacious bid to capture Toyko via amphibious landings, but this desperate gambit was quashed and in the following turn a four carrier Japanese battlegroup sailed into home waters to sink the American battleships and cruisers and leave the US Pacific fleet in tatters. Finally the British launched a desperate attack of their own on Berlin having established a temporary beach head in Holland Belgium, but this attack was also quashed leaving nothing to prevent the triumphant Axis armies marching into Berlin. At the close of the game the Axis empire stretched from Normandy to Eastern Siberia, encompassing everything in between and the entirety of Africa, along with Australia. The contest was over by 3.40pm allowing an early get away for all concerned to soak up the sunshine and fine weather!

Greetings AA Gamers,

At this time, I have started to update the Swamp with results and pics from last weeks Spring Gathering.  There will be more coming, but just wanted to get something out for you guys to enjoy… Again, thanks to everyone that came out and made it this the great event it has become and to the sponsors and supporters.  You guys are awesome!

Also, I have added a new link and it basically revolves around G40 and the information we gathered from both games at the SGX.  I am going to start including this information so that we can make a good and informed decision on how to proceed with FTF tournament games at Origins and GEN CON and the victory conditions, game rules (Alpha +3), etc.

Any questions or if you have any problems opening the site, let me know.

And don’t forget, Origins is just a month away:  May 31-June3, so don’t delay in registering…

Peace,

The authoritative answer

I don’t have much advice, have not been to GENCON since its been to Milwaukee.
Play games you like, make SURE to see the artwork, watch all the weirdos walk around, by swords, roll dice, drink alot of beer, roll some more dice. Go see a sci-fi show, participate in a sci-fi show, you know, have fun.

Another question, who’s going to be there, and who’s in the AA50 tourney?
