West Point Museum's First Axis and Allies Event

@MillCreek

There’s been some discussion. Early next year at best.

HI for those who wrote I just want you to know we are running another convention on April 29th. The same place and times.  I will be reposting it as a new event when I get some time. Please contact with if you have any questions. The Private message worked great last time and I will see if I can figure it out.  After this it will be awhile longer as the Church has no AC so the summer is out for us. Hope to See you April 29th
    Take Care

Well…  I initially didn’t want to do a bid because two of the players were completely new to G40.2, and I don’t like using non-standard rules with new players.  However, Axis had a stunning first turn due to some great dice rolls and sub-optimal play from the UK player.  So Ichabod insisted that the Allies get 20 IPCs to make the game more interesting.

Check out this pic from the event.  Let this sink in.  These tables are just the regular tables for gaming at the game store :)

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

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.

If you have any questions about the group, the game, or the venue, please don’t hesitate to contact me. 

@Young:

I just modified the entries correctly, very nice work from both of you, the reason I took so many pics of the ROE table was because it was very photogenic (and because it was a blast to play).

Was IWNGU’s painted units the paratroopers crossing the road, or the last pic with the 3 in one?

The paratroopers are the last pic of 3 (painted by Ken).
The group crossing the road are German Grenadiers (painted by myself).

Well here’s the result.

After 16 turn.
It’s a draw!
USSR repulsed all the Axis attack.
England/France lost his colonies and India but keep the control of the atlantic ocean. 
Japanese keep control of the pacific ocean and shut down China. 
USA fails to conquer Europe and Japan.               
Germany contol the major part of Europe but cannot go far.
The most surprising story is the strong opposition of Italy.

We were in front of the whale and the elephant situation.

There’s a problem with the Axis power.
No victory since march 2007!
Japan player is the individual winner of the game.

Next game is schedule for february/march 2009.

Sure, why not. Put me down as the Allies.
