We’re hoping to snag a ‘celebrity’ guest attendee or two…
Wait a second?!?!?!?! :-o :-o :-o
I don’t rate as at least a “B”-lister in the A&A community? :cry:

You are an “A” in my books…. the biggest AAA “celebrity” that I have ever defeated in Battle 8-)

Well, if we’re including every gaming community, then certainly you can be a B-lister. ;) I wasn’t really thinking just the A&A community though tbh. We’ve got feelers out to a couple of gaming celebrities. I doubt any of them will attend, but it’s worth a shot!
Remember, this is a gaming weekend, not just an A&A event. A&A may have the largest representation in attendance, but it’s far from the only thing happening!

You beat whom??? I don’t remember any such thing!!!
Actually, all I really remember about that game of AA50 was the young guy who was playing Italy kept leaving and coming back. I remember more about the multiple Acquire games and the Agricola game that we played. Also, I think we played Cosmic Encounter.
Must have been the Sleeman’s!!!

The date is still Sept 14-15 right?

It sure is.

@IWNGU
In your opinion, what are the top five games that you would consider a must play at the convention?

@IWNGU
In your opinion, what are the top five games that you would consider a must play at the convention?
Ohhh, tough question. There are so many great games!
If we remove Axis and Allies (any flavor) from the equation and look at the lesser played games only the list may look something like this;
Tsuro
Tobago
Ikusa
Merchants and Marauders
DominionAnd for the more well known games perhaps add;
Star Wars X-Wing Fighters Miniatures
Rules of Engagement Miniatures
Munchkin
Settlers of CatanIt’s a tough call. Just looking at the FMGCon library games list it’s hard to pick out a top 5 (or even a top 10)!
-
The more I sit here and think about it, the more I can’t decide what “must play” games would hit the top 5!
Oh, the decisions!
Perhaps it would be best to make a list of what games I (Rorschach of IWNGU) would like to play personally at FMGCon 2013? Of course any top 5 (or 10, or 20) is biased by personal opinion so this is probably the best way to do it;
Tsuro
Puerto Rico
Tobago
Ikusa
Settlers of Catan
Ticket to Ride
Aquire
Merchants and Marauders
Carcassonne
Revolution
Munchkin/Munchkin Apocalypse/Munchkin Zombies
Dominion
Warhammer 40,000
Rules of Engagement
Star Wars X Wing Fighter
Formula DThat’s a pretty big list! And I’m sure there will be more. Personally I am avoiding A&A at this years con as we play it fairly regularly anyway and I’d like to take the opportunity to play non-standard games.
-
What about Flames of War? Anyone into playign Flames of War at this? I can bring “Open Fire” (the starter set). Dying to play buthaven’t had a chance yet.

We have not yet had a FoW setup at the con (though there was a local store owner who was supposed to bring one last year and never did), but I’m sure someone would be willing to give it a try with you!
-
I’ll bring it along just in case. It intrigues me, I’ll be brushed up on it by the time the convention rolls around :wink: (and yes there were 2 puns in that sentence)
-
It wont be to much longer before its here

@suprise:

Yep yep! Get registered people! Remember the prizes from last year? There are even MORE this year! With even more games planned alongside all the pickup games.
Plus, let’s not forget there will not only be the tank demo but tank RIDES available!
-
More sponsors have jumped on the bandwagon!
Warlord Games (www.warlordgames.com) has sent us a box set of their “Bolt Action Miniatures : Assault on Normandy” game. A complete WW2 miniatures game in a box! As we already have WW2 miniatures games that will be set up ready to play (including the Bolt Action miniatures rules) this is likely to be given away as a prize … how still to be determined.
Steve Jackson Games (repeat sponsor!) has sent some great stuff for the games library.
Fantasy Flight Games (repeat sponsor!) has sent along some more as well!
Check out www.fmgcon.com for a list of what games will be available for public use in the FMGCon Games Library and to start or sign up for a game ahead of time!
Remember, space is limited to the first 100 registrants! I know it’s still a few months away but we’ll keep reminding people. ;)

So who here is coming for sure? I know Suprise Attack is 100% and staying at my place for the weekend, what about Vance, Joel, and Bernard?

Well in lieu of the financial predicament I am working through ($10,000 from start to finish) I am not yet sure if FMG will be viable for me this year or not.

However, as I have received overwhelming support from this community… if coming out there is possible, I will.

We would 1000% understand. However your presence on the Battlefield will be missed.
