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

Oshawa, ON, Canada is once again home to the “4th Annual Field Marshal Gaming Convention” in September 2014. This year we are trying more than ever to help participants find transportation and lodging in order to attend the event. We would like to do our best to organize and encourage A&A.org members to carpool from different regions in Ontario and Quebec this year. This travel campaign should help those who live 2-6 hours outside of Oshawa, and who wish to attend this year’s convention. Please reply and tell us where you live, and if your serious about joining us in September, we can help you with your travel arrangements.

Thanks.

Thanks to all that came this year.  We are already working on the planning for 2014!!

@miamiumike:

I need someone to explain a bit better how this chess clock idea will work.

Let’s say the tournament round is set for 6 hours (which is what AA50 games are set to currently). This would then mean each team has 3 hours of time? In the middle of round 6, Italy is up and opps - the Axis run out of time - they automatically lose?

If this is correct, then I guess that means we want to have NO new people play the game. Not even people who have played but are not true ‘experts’. The only situation I could see possibly thinking about using this idea would be in a Masters type tournament. That would be it. Otherwise, you will kill any non-hardcore player from ever even attempting a tournament game. For the Masters, it might work.

I’d be willing to give it a try - just to see how it goes - but I cannot see how this helps grow the number of people who would want to play in a tournament.

I discuss the check clock idea further here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27947.0

Axis and Allies fans, I wanted to let everyone know that our gaming group, Atlanta Axis and Allies, will be having our next gaming session on Sunday February 26th.

Our group, as the name implies, is devoted Axis and Allies (and all of its variants) and we always welcome new players.  Whether you are a long time Axis and Allies veteran or are completely new to the series, if you enjoy strategy gaming then this group is for you!  As always our group is free to join and there is no cost to come to any game .  Check out our website:

Our next meet up will include two separate Global 1940 games (Alpha 3 rule set)  along with at least one of the earlier versions of Axis and Allies.  If you live in the Atlanta area and want to take part in some epic strategy gaming, feel free to stop by on February 26th:
