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.

Thanks to all that came this year.  We are already working on the planning for 2014!!

@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.

Jeremy, you just had to ask the right people.  Accidents do have a funny way of occurring sometimes……

Greetings AA Gamers,

At this time, I have started to update the Swamp with results and pics from last weeks Spring Gathering.  There will be more coming, but just wanted to get something out for you guys to enjoy… Again, thanks to everyone that came out and made it this the great event it has become and to the sponsors and supporters.  You guys are awesome!

Also, I have added a new link and it basically revolves around G40 and the information we gathered from both games at the SGX.  I am going to start including this information so that we can make a good and informed decision on how to proceed with FTF tournament games at Origins and GEN CON and the victory conditions, game rules (Alpha +3), etc.

Any questions or if you have any problems opening the site, let me know.

And don’t forget, Origins is just a month away:  May 31-June3, so don’t delay in registering…

Peace,
