As promised here is a recap of our event with pictures:
I’ve posted photos from our event to our local Meetup Group’s page.

We had a total of 14 attend. A few of those that RSVP’ed were unable to make it. 1 drove from Michigan and another from Indiana. Everyone else was from Tennessee and Kentucky.
We had 4 teams playing Global 1942 and 2 playing 1942. We also had a few side games of 1914.
We had a drawing for prizes. Everyone walked away with something thanks to our gracious sponsors, Historical Board Gaming and Field Marshall Games. Pictures of the prizes are on the meetup page. The Grand prize was a German WWII helmet provided by the event organizer, Luke Collins. Most everyone that attended played at GenCon or some other gaming conference previously. But there were a handful of guys who had never played in a conference setting before. As you guys know it’s not always easy to find gaming partners. One guy hadn’t played in nearly a decade but is an avid reader of axisandallies.org. Another guy owns most of the games but hasn’t played anyone other than himself since Global was first released.
Everyone had a great time and appreciated the fellowship of like minded gamers.
We plan to have this again next year. I hope more of you guys can come.
