Is this still a thing? I have a group of 3 who plays A&A once a month some times more.

@suprise:

Try not to book it during the Syracuse Nationals, 15,000 hot rods is too much for me to avoid
Tank fest was great but I was in the middle of a game, would have loved to ride in one….maybe next year

What date is this?

July 18-20 this year … don’t think we need to worry about that.  :)

@Gargantua:

WTH!

If David can pull placing 2nd place, then I’m coming down there next year to stomp some pain into people.

I know right???  That’s pathetic.  And these guys call themselves “Masters”.  BAAW HAAW HAAW. :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW- a lot of greyheads :-D

@miamiumike:

I need someone to explain a bit better how this chess clock idea will work.

Let’s say the tournament round is set for 6 hours (which is what AA50 games are set to currently). This would then mean each team has 3 hours of time? In the middle of round 6, Italy is up and opps - the Axis run out of time - they automatically lose?

If this is correct, then I guess that means we want to have NO new people play the game. Not even people who have played but are not true ‘experts’. The only situation I could see possibly thinking about using this idea would be in a Masters type tournament. That would be it. Otherwise, you will kill any non-hardcore player from ever even attempting a tournament game. For the Masters, it might work.

I’d be willing to give it a try - just to see how it goes - but I cannot see how this helps grow the number of people who would want to play in a tournament.

I discuss the check clock idea further here: http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=27947.0

It’s wierd that I’m sleeping in your basement and you are posting at the same time as me right now lol.

I drove 9 hours to go to DragonCon 2011 in Atlanta with the sole purpose of getting into an Axis & Allies tournament, but no one else showed up…including the organizer of the scheduled Axis event.

My point with this post is not to complain (well maybe a little bit), but to hopefully generate enough interest in DragonCon 2012 that I can get into a game there.  I’ve been to GenCon a number of times and there was always a good group there.  I would just like to see the same at DragonCon.

i dont even remember that. too long ago.

lol
