HI for those who wrote I just want you to know we are running another convention on April 29th. The same place and times. I will be reposting it as a new event when I get some time. Please contact with if you have any questions. The Private message worked great last time and I will see if I can figure it out. After this it will be awhile longer as the Church has no AC so the summer is out for us. Hope to See you April 29th
Take Care

FMGC 2012 - Gaming Convention - GTA CANADA
-
I have a Euchre banquet to attend Friday so will be driving up from Niagara Saturday morning. Â I can bring a large Spring 42 Map 5’x3’ roughly, but probably won’t unless it rains and I have to take the truck rather than sports car.
Games I am bringing:
Box set 1942
Box set AA 2nd edition
Box set Samurai and Swords (Shogun?) Â pretty cool game, 2-5 players. Â Never managed to finish a game, takes 3-4 hours to play easy plus an hour to setup, cover rules. Â I haven’t played in 5 years and only played it a few times.
Box set Civilization Avolon Hill circa mid 80s. Â Used to play it in the mid 80s. Â Best with 5-7 players, takes 3-5 hours from what I recall
Illuminiti original plus expansion 1+2.  2-8 players with 3-6 being best.  Games can be 20 mins to a few hours.I have yet to sign up for any games.  I only play Spring 42 well, but could be a semi-competent floater/ 2nd/3rd in a team playing a different flavour of AA. I’m always up for trying a new type of game as long as it is not rule heavy and I’m the only newbie!
You can almost definately count me in for a game of Samurai Swords! I had that when I was a kid (the Shogun version) and it mysteriously disappeared one day. Never saw it again until I played a few years ago with Jeremy and my brother.
Nobody has really signed up for any games tbh. There is 1 full Global 1940 game set and possibly a 2nd one. But beyond that it’s free for all. lol.
There are a lot of great games available in the FMG Library as well that will be free for all to play. We will have a shelving unit full of games for everyone to try out if they want.

I was thinking about bringing Battle Cry if anyone would be interested in playing that

Can you believe this shit? I get on the plane in less than 48 hours. So Stoked!

I was thinking about playing a joke on you by explaining how the convention got cancelled, but that would have been to cruel.

I land at 12:01am EST (but it will be like 9:01pm for me). I’ll probably get to Oshawa by 1am (which is still only 10pm).
1. Who is staying at the Best Western?
2. Anybody else going to be awake at 1am because of the time difference? -
I’m getting kinda nervous about all this, it’s a 10 hour drive across the US-Canadian border for me. I don’t know why, I’ve been to China a half dozen times and I’m worried about going to Canada, go figure! :?
-
LOL the hard part will be getting back into the US.

I promise you it will be well worth the drive. Can’t wait to see you all there!
AAA.org Group photo in front of the Sherman will be a feature of the new FMGC site launched this year.
Just wait to see the pile of DOOR PRIZES that have stacked up.
Regestrations have been flowing in over the past few days.
Im also giving an extra door prize ticket to every FMGC member that visits the TANK Museum… DOUBLE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING!

IMPORTANT: whatever happens… make sure you are here between 2-3pm on Sat!!!
Bring a jacket or coat… weather is taking a small dip (Eh… its Canada!)
-
I’m working until 17:00 ish Friday and then Ray and I are driving up. Should be there around 20:00-21:00. Didn’t book a room yet, figure we’ll grab one when we arrive, then start drinking, heavily. Looking forward to meeting you all.
-
Just booked my room at the Best Western, registered yesterday. Looks like Saturday is going to be rainy, muscle car stays in the garage and the large Spring 42 map is coming with me and the Jimmy, oh and my pal Gibson
-
You better buy another bottle, that’s not even going to last you half of the drive up. :)
-
Put me down for a museum run on monday! I’ll take my “doubled” chances!

They will, as far as I know only be open on the saturday. They don’t normaly open until May and are opening this weekend just for us! ;)

Just a “side Note” on drinking at the Event:
There will be a Bar open on Saturday run by the 420 Wing…. but after it closes the event is “technically” Alcohol free (we don’t have a licence).
That being said: Marshals will Look the other way IF you don’t make it to obvious. Mix your drinks in your car etc… and bring an empty Drinking mug or Soda Bottle.
The above message is UNOFFICIAL and I will deny ever making it

just like high school

@Vance:
just like high school
Especially if the fuzz show up.

I volunteer to hold them off whilst you guys escape.
If I can keep any pending charges, to WITHIN the province, all I have to do is get out :). EASY.

Pity Canada is not ‘tail-gate party’ friendly. I’m surprised the US is so tolerant being a somewhat more litigious nation than Canada. I would never ‘cut the grass’ of 420 wings sales. Personally, I was thinking of when I was back at the hotel room to drown my poor dice sorrows! That’s me story and I intends on sticking to it. Forecast is looking up, might be trading the large '42 map for the muscle car!

Ontario is a police state.
