See you there!!

@suprise:

Sorry guys, I cant make it there this year.

Have fun and take lots of pictures.
Kris…aka “Surprise Attack”

Sorry to hear that Kris… hope to see you next year, we’ll miss ya.

Cheers.

@Gargantua:

WTH!

If David can pull placing 2nd place, then I’m coming down there next year to stomp some pain into people.

I know right???  That’s pathetic.  And these guys call themselves “Masters”.  BAAW HAAW HAAW. :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW- a lot of greyheads :-D

@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.

Seven months and counting…… Hope to see ya there and then some

I drove 9 hours to go to DragonCon 2011 in Atlanta with the sole purpose of getting into an Axis & Allies tournament, but no one else showed up…including the organizer of the scheduled Axis event.

My point with this post is not to complain (well maybe a little bit), but to hopefully generate enough interest in DragonCon 2012 that I can get into a game there.  I’ve been to GenCon a number of times and there was always a good group there.  I would just like to see the same at DragonCon.
