@suprise:

Great pics
Next year I’ll be there with 2 G 40 games and set up a second edition and one like Ozteas
Now that the days are getting shorter and cooler weather you’ll see my face here more often
S.A.

We look forward to seeing you there SA! The A&A area was definitely busier this year than last. Then again, the entire event was busier!  lol.

A ton more pics have been added to the FMGCon facebook album. I’ll be adding them to the website album some time soon as well.

The Autumn 2015 BoB will be on 8th November.

Then the Winter 2016 one is on 7th February.

Both held in Derbyshire UK. A fun day playing 1942.2!

We currently have 7 definites and 1 possible for both of the above, leaving space for 2 or 3 additional players. First come first served. If interested please either reply to this thread or PM Private Panic.

Glad you enjoyed it Credulous.

My West Russia miscount was a disaster for G and absolutely the biggest error of all errors in our game. Just amazed that after that the axis both gained a second opportunity (that failed) to take Moscow and even so successfully kept R bottled up for sufficiently long for a replacement G European stack/threat to be in place.

After the West Russia disaster I thought I had lost. Either that perception of impending doom was wrong (as I know you believe) or the axis military commanders played a blinder to claw back a draw, with their own “hopes” of final victory. I quite like the second interpretation! :-)

After the West Russia catastrophe I couldn’t afford too many more mistakes and think I pretty much managed to avoid them.

What would have happened if I had not bogged up in W Russia? I probably would have discovered another game changing error to make instead!

Looking forward to our next game. We’ll see how I manage to bog that one up! :roll:

I’m looking forward to attending the new event this year.

Any tips on what to bring and what to expect in terms of amenities on-site?

It looks as if you can get a room with a kitchenette. I’ve had success with crock pots in the past. Should I bring cash for pizza or group meals?

Also, do we game in a conference room?

Thanks!

Someone moved the same posting placed in 1942.2 to this board, so I now have it twice here.

Thanks for the clarifications James, looking forward to it.

That sounds rather like me in my 42.2 forum game against witt!

@wittmann:

You will love it. PP and his friends are a great bunch.

Well - they put up with me!

I am hosting the Axis & Allies events at NashCon in Franklin, TN just south of Nashville on May 22-24.

http://www.meetup.com/Nashville-Axis-Allies-Meetup/events/221934955/

NashCon is held at the Cool Springs Marriott Convention Center in Franklin, TN.

Our group will focus on casual Axis & Allies board games: 1942, Global, Classic, and 1914. We will also hold a 1942 tournament.

This is our first year at NashCon. We plan to expand our tournament offerings in the future.

We have special pricing for admittance to NashCon for Nashville Axis & Allies Meetup Members of $15 for the weekend. All fees will be used to support tournament and raffle prizes.  Please RSVP at the link above.

NashCon is a gaming convention featuring Historical miniatures, tournaments, fantasy and science fiction games, role playing, board games, Advanced Squad Leader tournament and much more.

Happy to help and would try my upmost to make a date(!). You will enjoy 42. Lovely sculpts!

@robbie358:

How are you getting your awesome table there?

I saw the youtube video.

Unfortunatly the tabe is not be making the trip, we will be sluming it with an oob set.

So how did it go?

I’m planning to attend the SCARAB gaming convention in Columbia SC on January 17, 2015. If anyone else in the SC area would be interested in going, it’s $20 for a day pass to the convention, if we can get an A&A game going I’d like to start by about 10:00 AM. I have Pacific 1940, I think it would be cool to play a game of Global 1940 but I don’t have a copy of Europe.

If you’re interested in attending and playing a game of A&A, let me know!

I’m willing to come whenever.  Just let us know.

In the meantime there’s always Strategicon three times a year, Gencon every year, and Tacoma Axis & Allies Meetup Group events to do!

Nashville Axis & Allies will be holding our next gathering, The Battle of Franklin, on December 12-13. I’ve reserved my neighborhood clubhouse in the heart of the Cool Springs area of Franklin, just south of Nashville.

This is a two day event beginning Friday morning, December 12 through Saturday, December 13th. There are plenty of tables and lots of room for multiple games.

So far we have 10 confirmed RSVP’s. There are quite a few hotels less than a mile from the clubhouse. We will have lots of food choices with numerous restaurants in the area, including Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks within walking distance.

If you are interested in coming, please let me know. If you can’t make it but are interested in future Nashville area gatherings, please join our Meetup group, http://www.meetup.com/Nashville-Axis-Allies-Meetup/

Siparo

Yup but still waiting your presence….

That’s a big bay area, mate.
Can you be more specific, please?

At least San Francisco, Oakland, or San Jose?

….San Mateo? Morgan Hill? Cupertino? Hayward? Marin? Pittsburg?
Thanks.

Edit: I know it’s already past the 12th anyway.

Yup with new players…
Always hard to find some players but much harder to keep it.
A lot of people don’t like to play 12 or 15 hours in a row… :-o

@IWillNeverGrowUp:

See original post for update.  Photos are up at www.fmgcon.com (under Galleries on the menu)

Great pics… really shows the game diversity at this convention… I had a blast, can’t wait until next year.

Thanks.

Awesome event, it just keeps getting better and better. Tons to report, many pics to post, and lots of stories to tell… Thanks to the whole FMGC staff for all their work, and congrats for a tremendously successful weekend.
