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.

@suprise:

Sorry to hear that Kris… hope to see you next year, we’ll miss ya.

Oshawa, ON, Canada is once again home to the “4th Annual Field Marshal Gaming Convention” in September 2014. This year we are trying more than ever to help participants find transportation and lodging in order to attend the event. We would like to do our best to organize and encourage A&A.org members to carpool from different regions in Ontario and Quebec this year. This travel campaign should help those who live 2-6 hours outside of Oshawa, and who wish to attend this year’s convention. Please reply and tell us where you live, and if your serious about joining us in September, we can help you with your travel arrangements.

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.  :)

Surprise Attack, yes I got it to work. A little low in sound but works great. Â

Crusaderi, yes i would love the rules if you don’t mind.

@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.
