2014 WBC A&A Tournament

The event page is located here:

WBC information is here:

32 unique participants.

There 15 games the first round, with 12 or 13 in the second round.

Maybe 8 games in the third round.  Ty Hansen ended up capturing the championship again beating not only Goia son in the semifinals and then the Goia dad in the final.

Unfortunately, I lost a close game to the dad in the second round and then another close one in the third round.  Good time though and didn’t feel outplayed in anyway.  Just needed to tweak a few things and could have won.

Axis and Allies fans, I wanted to let everyone know that our gaming group, Atlanta Axis and Allies, will be having its next gaming session on Sunday September 23rd.

Our group, as the name implies, is devoted Axis and Allies,  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 September 23rd:

I got my tickets in May and they were just starting to go up. I could’ve flown in from SF for under $400. I waited a week and paid like $440. I may not be the one deciding whether I can go or not. I have two sets of friends getting married next year and I don’t know when. Chances are one wedding will be in the middle of GenCon and the other in the middle of the Beer Bloggers Conference. I seriously doubt they will conflict with FMGC13 and Spring Gathering XI.

@squirecam:

Once you go…you gotta go back.

Get airline tickets in February (or earlier) and that saves costs. Also, try and get into the gencon housing block on the 1st day, which also is the lowest local hotel prices.

I’m looking for Axis & Allies players in the Northeastern US; New England in general and Maine specifically. Obviously, I love to get together to play strategy games of all kinds, and Axis & Allies has always had a special place on my shelf of goodies. As anyone that’s tried to introduce A&A to friends can attest, it’s sometimes difficult to find a group of people willing to devote an afternoon or evening to a board game… though these same folks will spend five hours flipping through the channels, complaining that there’s nothing good on tv. :)  But I digress.
There does seem to be a fairly large Axis & Allies fan base in the area, but we’re always looking for more players. Every January, we have the SnowCon gaming convention in Maine, and both years I’ve had a great turnout for the strategy board games that I run. Axis & Allies always rounds out the evening, though, and we’re among the last ones to leave each night. It’s great fun, and I’d love to meet new players for the recreational re-enactment of World War II.
The one thing that has been lacking in the area, however, is a good game shop. Fortunately, the Game Citadel has recently opened and filled that need. The owner’s a great guy, and with his help, we’re looking to give a little something back to the community. Sometime in the next few months, we’re looking to organize a charity Axis & Allies tournament for a local organization, the CWC Angels’ Program, that helps families with the high cost of school supplies. The details are still being hammered out, but we’re hoping for a big turnout. There will be prizes, of course, and it’s for a great cause, so if anyone lives in the northeast, get in touch! We’d love to crush you with our blitzkreig! I will post the details as soon as I’ve got them.
