Gencon 2019

The latest…

AA Gamers,

I have been given the approval to submit events for GEN CON 2021. With that I need to begin generating events for everyone but need to know from you, whether or not you will be in attendance this year and if so, would you be interested in playing in any of the AA tournaments I typically run. I currently plan on running the Global '42, AA50 and 1942 2nd Ed tournaments. I am planning on staggering them so that anyone not playing in the G42 tourney, you can play in both the AA50 and 42 2nd Ed events.

I also plan on having the Axis & Allies War At Sea League and hopefully a few other WAS events. So, I need to get some feedback if anyone is interested in any of the other AA variants like Zombies, 1914 and the like. War Room is also a consideration but only if it appears that there is a demand for playing it.

I know this is going to be extremely hard for me to know in advance of how many may or may not attend and I have voiced my opinion to GEN CON about the same but if you do know, I would love to hear from you.

Also, due to the ORIGINS being just 11 days after GEN CON, I will not be able to attend ORIGINS in 2021.

The Spring Gathering is still on as well June 25 & 26 in Wilder, KY. http://www.headlesshorseman2.com/spring-gathering.html

If you have any questions, please let me know and thanks for your time and consideration.

Peace,
Gregory J. Smorey – EO/GM

Easter Gaming Session 2019

We will be hosting our 6th annual Easter Gaming Session.
The format is Axis and Allies Global 1940 with Balance Mod 3 Version ruleset.
Balanced Mod 3 Ruleset:

The location for the event is Celina, Ohio. Please post or PM if you would like to attend. The game will begin early morning on Thursday the 18th and we play until the game is finished. We take breaks and stop for the evening then resume on Friday the 19th. Don’t worry if your unfamiliar with the ruleset. Its very easy to adapt to and you can play test prior to the event on TripleA. Please feel free to post questions if you need clarification.

@aftertaste Thanks for those additions Mike. Much appreciated.:+1:

@Young:

It’s gonna be strange not seeing the name Ryan Davison etched as champion in a long line of title wins.

Ya, but I can still safely say that I won every in-person tournament that I have participated in for global :)

@ghr2:

I am sad that they wont be having g40 in tournament format :(  Have to do 1942 apparently.

Well, unfortunately, G40 does not lend itself to tournament play.  We are finding out G42 doesn’t as well but is it the best alternative.Â

I will let Questioneer address this when he arrives.  But in short, just no way to have a tournament at a CON.  Not enough time… :oops:

Peace,

Sorry, couldn’t make it this year…really wanted to defend our 1914 title from Origins.  BTW- the 1914 game rocks with the new tourney rules.  Hopefully Larry will confirm the new slightly adjusted setup for next year also.

As far as G42- Greg I am really warming up to this game as I think others are as they play it.  However like G40- its not any faster unless you give guys the 12-14 hrs (versus 8hrs) to play it in.  If you play 8hrs it might as well be all day, that way players can finish the stinking thing.

Other than that I put G42 on equal par with G40- both are superb versions.
