Hi All
This is our 3rd battle of Long Island and 4th event at the church. We have had between 15 and 26 people. It is in Whitestone Queens NY from 10am till 10pm or so. Lately most are playing Global 40 2nd edition with bid for allies. We have an undefeated team that also has the 1st, 2nd 3rd place finishers from the WBC. We welcome less experienced players. We are starting to do match ups and records if you like. Mostly have Fun and Play hard with other great Axis and Allies People. In the past we played the Anniversary Game, 1914, Spring 42 and the Revised edition lately mostly global 40. Bring a team, join a Team or if your a veteran and play fast you can run an entire board. We have a Fridge, light snacks served, plenty of parking, we ask for 10.00 for the church. Last time we had a guy sell old games, flea market is welcome but it is about playing. If you are on a team you can play in 2 games at once. Save Sat. 23rd for this…!!!
Any questions
Joe

You’re giving them 7 months notice to book a long weekend, you should be fine.

I will think about it for this year. Does FMGC & hotels fill up quick? I won’t be able to find out if I can make it until this summer. I also need to weigh the options of driving vs flying.
-
Awesome, I hope all works out and you’re able to join us.
-
I’d love to join you guys again, just have to find some things out about work in the next few months, Then I’ll know for sure.

You should be good. There are a ton of hotel rooms nearby-ish (4-5 hotels right off the highway and about a 3-5 minute drive from the event) and there’s no way we’d fill them.
As for tickets to the event, traditionally we have tickets available at the door, but of course it’s best to pre-register to avoid disappointment, especially if you’re not local.

As long as customs won’t are not a pain and Fall semester is not intense, I think that going to Toronto is doable. This 10 hr+ drive means that I would have to leave Thursday morning, spend all day driving, get a hotel room for the night, then after all of the events, spend 1 more night, and start driving the next day. I hope I can get away with using american money interchangeably with Canadian money. If not, credit cards should work.

maybe look on the map thread in the find players forum to see if there are any members close to you. Perhaps someone who can who can car pool, share accommodations, and split all the costs.

I have not seen anyone on the forum, who live near me, that I have not already talked too.
Cost is not an issue, it is the stress of going international and the overall time investment.

We’ve had a number of international guests to the convention over the past few years, all of whom had no (or relatively little) issue getting across the border (Just don’t ask Yope about his experience … Though I do believe from our conversation about it he got a good laugh over it all; Oh, and don’t bring firearms/bullets/casings with you like another years guest did … oops).
If you’ve got the money and the time, by all means come and join us!
FYI, American cash is just as good as any others here. Or you could just exchange it for Canadian while you’re here, but we will most certainly take US$ (as will 99.99% of stores, hotels and everywhere else).

I will be getting a passport here eventually since there is a wedding that I will be going to in the TO area this summer. That will take care the vast majority of my border issues.
ghr2- You can exchange money right at the border crossing. Come up my way and cross in Port Huron (Blue Water Bridge). Use I-94 to I-69 and then across the thumb of Michigan to the border. That way you avoid the traffic and trouble of the Detroit/Windsor metro area and that crossing.
Hell, you could come this far (it’s about half way for you on this trip) on the way to the event and crash at my place. That way you have just a five hour trip on Friday.
Just don’t tell the Canadians (or the US goons for that matter) that you stayed with me. :wink:

WOW! A sleep over offer and a winky face all in the same post (LOL).

You from Port Huron?

Close enough that it is practically the same thing.

I would exchange money at the bank. Often you lose 5-15% on currency exchanges at a store or hotel and credit cards ding you on currency exchanges too.

Quite or you’ll sleep on the floor this year.

This does not make me feel better.
