Gencon 2016 - G42 Tourney

It was good meeting you there this year. I hope to make it every year.  Next year especially I will be bringing my game boards. Not sure if I’m going to host an event for Bal Mod 3 games or play in the 1942 game again.

Had a great time and even played some 1st edition AD&D, :)

I’m signed up for the G40!

Had a good time, it was great to see everyone!

:-D

Looking for partner or 2, preferably someone who has great experience with global already who is also going to gencon.  I have a lot of experience with the 2nd edition of global (around 4-5 dozen games under my belt).  I just don’t want to scramble for a partner at the last minute like last year.

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.

@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

Hey fans of A&A Revised (aka A&A 2004) we are getting up an Easy-to-Use, Free, Friendly tournament to start within the next few weeks (today is Armistice/Veterans Day 11-11-05) at WarGamersMemberClub: http://p201.ezboard.com/bwargamersclub

Everyone WELCOME!

This will be a Mapview, email-based tourney.  Believe me, it’s so easy to use even I can make it work!  (My ID at WGMC is “Caledonia Slim.”)

This post gives links to the tools you need to play A&ARevised with the Mapview system, very easy to use by email, with an online diceroller.  Also there is a link to the generally accepted rulebook (LHTR1.1 which stands for Larry Harris Tournament Rules 1.1)…the rules are clear, make for good gaming, with plenty of options suggested.

See you soon!
