I had no idea there was this kind of a group in the Puget Sound Region. This is an awesome find. Not sure I can attend that event but I would definitely be interested in other meetups

Finally posting after lurking for almost a decade now.  Hi everyone.

There’s going to be a Revised (2004 Edition) tournament at the WBC tournament this year (It’s an annual boardgaming/wargaming tournament/convention.  They typically play Avalon Hill and GMT games.).

The tournament is going to be from Friday, July 21 (Preliminaries) until Saturday, July 22 (Semifinals/Finals).  The convention itself is continuing for the rest of the week (July 22-30).
The format uses a unique ruleset to make the game playable in a limited amount of time.  I can post the rules if you’re interested.

boardgamers.org (Can’t actually post links but you get the idea.  A search of “World Boardgaming Championships” will take you to the page as well)

Ruleset:
@WBC:

Time Limit: 4:30 hrs Standard Bidding.

Adjudication System-
The determination of who wins a tournament game will be based upon the control of Victory Territories (VTs). The Victory City method of determining a winner will NOT be used. Each side controls 12 Victory Territories at the beginning of the game. The Victory Territories are listed below.

AXIS POWERS
GERMANY
Germany
Western Europe
Southern Europe
Eastern Europe
Ukraine SSR
Norway

JAPAN
Japan
Manchuria
French Indochina
Philippine Islands
East Indies
Borneo

ALLIED POWERS
USSR
Russia
Caucasus
Archangel
Novosibirsk

UK
United Kingdom
India
Anglo-Egypt
Australia

USA
Eastern US
Western US
Hawaiian Islands
Sinkiang

If a player holds 18 (or more) VTs for a full round of game play (From the end of a country’s turn to the beginning of that same country’s next turn.), then that player automatically wins the game.

In the event of a VT tie at the end of the game, whichever side increased its IPC total is the winner. If the game is still tied after reviewing the IPC totals, then the GM will make a determination of the winner based upon the game situation at the time the game ended.

If a player chooses to concede a game before it has reached the 18 VT automatic win threshold or the game time limit (4.5 hrs), a default score of 19 VTs and +30 IPCs will be awarded to the winner.

I don’t know the rules for sending email addresses out, so I’d have to PM it to anyone who’s interested.

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!

Yup but still waiting your presence….

I’m looking forward to attending the new event this year.

Any tips on what to bring and what to expect in terms of amenities on-site?

It looks as if you can get a room with a kitchenette. I’ve had success with crock pots in the past. Should I bring cash for pizza or group meals?

Also, do we game in a conference room?

Thanks!

Brayca,

The Dice Turret would love to sponsor this event.  Send me an email with your info.  I’ll send you out some COMBAT TURRETs you can use as give a ways.

Thanks,
