Note: I am willing to host/co-host tri-annual (i.e. 3x per year, sorry summer is dedicated to other activities) gaming weekends at a cheap/relatively close hotel.

On Edit #1: Conceptually, one in spring (i.e. Feb/Mar 2018) one in fall (i.e. Oct/Nov) and one in the winter (i.e. Dec/Jan).

On Edit #2: After watching General Hand Grenade’s excellent 2017 holiday shopping guide video (youtube.com/watch?v=4dNu24CGMuI&feature) (and if anyone is interested Item #1 is on my wish list :-D ) I have a much better sense that Global is the game to play around here (unfortunately for me I have the older versions of Europe/Pacific). So I will be working to obtain and play that version so I am prepared for Young GrassHopper’s invitational in 2020.

General Mayhem reporting for duty, sir/ma’am.
Currently posted in the general Buffalo, NY area, but I am willing to TDY somewhat to meet up to play.

I have been playing various versions of A&A since ~1988, but have never participated in a tournament nor an on-line A&A game.
I’ve done PBEmail Diplomacy in the past, but that is a different animal.
Over the years I have downloaded and played a few TripleA games against the AI, but it is never as satisfying as FTF.

After watching General Hand Grenade’s video of Young Grasshoppper’s 2017 tournament and GHG’s wish list video, I am stoked to play A&A (anything).
Looking forward to gearing up to acquire and learn Global and hopefully attend Young Grasshopper’s 2020 invitational.

I’ll be looking for help on how to join and play a TripleA hosted Global game sometime soon, just have to figure out the time commitment(s) and mechanics of joining (I think I should have a good/basic understanding of the game itself, but will hunt down a copy of the rules ASAP).

So in salutation,
Well met all-ya-all’ (and ‘Aye’, "Oi’, ‘Ciao’ and ‘Yo’ to all our Canadian, Aussie and friends across the globe),
