Upstate NY G-40 players

Hi
      Anyone interested can reply here or message me. We are having a 1 day Global 40 tournament by teams. The plan is for a team anywhere from 2 to 5 guys plays 2 games simultaneously and at the end we count total points scored. There is a set bid of 33 for allies. It is based on scoring points not victory on one side. However you do get extra points if you win on a side. We also have open gaming usually the Anniversary or Revised second edition. This is for fun. I seem to have lost some contact numbers so if previous players read this please reply.
    So far we have about 14 to 15 people coming as we had 4 recent cancels. So we have space as not all do the tournament.
          We play at a Church in Whitestone Queens, NY. Doors open about 940, we hope to start play before 1030am and play until we finish. We are planning to keep the global games moving and play 9 rounds by 7pm or so. We order lunch in. We serve soda, snacks and ask for 10 dollars for the church. We have a guy who sells games

Hi Wayne
    I would be glad to give you a call or text. ? Is there a better time or times to do this. We meet several times a year at least 4. In Nov. we made it a tournament with teams but this is more relaxed. I honestly feel we have great guys and a great balance between beginners, moderate experience and some of the best players of Axis and Allies in the world.
        Let me know if you want a call or text and what times are good.

Hi All
    We are putting together a 1 day Axis and Allies Day/convention in Whitestone NY.  This is actually are 4th time and we plan on doing this 3 times a year so it can be a tournament format in that sense. It is all about playing and having fun. We have had between 14 and 26 people. While all versions of the game are great we have mostly been playing Global 40 with a bid for the allies. We have an undefeated team in Global 40 with players who have won and finished 2nd at the WBC but new players are very welcome. Its really about playing and having fun. Last time we had someone sell old games and raffle them off also. We have a church with plenty of parking, a fridge, and serve light snacks. We charge 10 dollars just so the Church gets something. We start at 10 am and end about 10pm but no one kicks us out. You can come a bit early to if you like.
                                Hope your interested

HI
    We have 25 confirmed and more room. Probably 5 Global 40 games, a 2nd edition 42, and maybe 1914.  Some old games and hand painted miniature pieces and dice towers for sale no obligation. Snacks will be served, we also have a refrigerator and kitchen. We are in Whitestone queens minutes from Throgs neck or Whitestone Bridge.

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:

The authoritative answer

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.
