FMGC 2013 - Planning, Roster, Suggestions, Invites

I hear that Jeremy might drive the tank again next year.

I bet Jeremy would love to do that to us knot heads

I’m in (as long as my friends don’t plan their wedding that weekend, which is quite doubtful).

But I’m not staying at Worst Western. Also, I’ll probably get in one day early so I’m not so damned sleep deprived the whole time.

Do we have dates yet?

Keep in mind that the Spring Gathering happened the weekend after FMGC last year, which takes place in Ohio.

This is what I purpose on the weekend of the FMGC 2013.

Three of the following members stay at my place, and two stay at a near by hotel in a room in which all 5 members split the cost (2 nights).

Suprise Attack- Syracuse
Djensen- San Francisco
Gargantua- British Columbia
Vance- New Brunswick
Axisplaya- Montreal

However, each must do their best to arrive in Toronto Friday morning, for an epic game of G40.2 at my place beginning around noon. The next day we will all go to the convention together, and Sunday as well.

Sound good?

I will need to set a date soon.

Any suggestions?

Can’t plan my death, which would be the only reason I wouldn’t go, so any date is good for me.

The same weekend as this years was on would probably be best.  Try to keep some consistancy.

Iwillnevergrowup.com has a LOT of things to bring to this in 2013 too;

Rules of Engagement table (Maybe a bit smaller than last year) or TWO
Warhammer 40k table or two
Angels 20 table
(and all of our terrain, miniatures, rulebooks, etc)
Axis and Allies Anniversary Edition table again (my custom/topographical table)

And A&A Industrial Production Chips!  (Hopefully some other product as well)

I don’t care how big it is, as long as there is at least 1 ROE table.

I can get to Toronto by noon and if Axisplaya can get to Kingston early enough he can ride with me

I’m hoping to get all three of us from the podcast up this year. Last year Mugzy couldn’t make it. I’m going to look into getting a small RV and just park it at the club. Then there’ll be no need to stop drinking!

Good idea but there is still a chance I may not be able to make it – sometimes life has it’s way of not cooperating with fun. I suggest adding a 6th person for the room & board plan below and if I make it, I’ll just cover my own room.

LOL I can’t wait…

How much do they cost to rent?

No idea. I figure it’s pointless to even check on it until after 21-Dec anyway lol

It’s all good, I’m not gonna add anyone else because my place is better suited for 2 rather than 3, but I can fit three for sure if I have too. Even if you want your own room, you can still take a seat at our game on Friday (if you get into town early enough), and if you can’t for any reason, there are lots of locals that can fill in to make a full game.

What is this “Spring Gathering”. Is it A&A related?

Yes, it is run by Greg Smorey in Cincinnati.

Thanks David. Anywhere I can find more info, or should I just check back here?

Well, since they’re both in April I think you should come to FMGC 2013 instead! (sorry Greg)

Unless you live next door to Cincinnati, then you should go to both!

I would love to come to FMGC, but I will say that compared to Vancouver, Cincinnati is practically next door to Toledo.
