There will be three support levels available. When you donate, you will receive a special badge on your profile.

Note:  For 2012, the tank on the badge is the US Sherman.

To donate, just click on the “Buy Now” PayPal button on the right of your screen.

In order to get your badge, be sure to include your email when you purchase your support level. Next, send me an email with your Axis & Allies.org username so that I can give you the badge. david [dot] jensen {at} axisandallies (dot) org

Thanks!

Just like last time, participants will be listed here. If you get your badge and are not listed, it likely means I forgot so just send me a friendly reminder.

The (fmgc) just means they made the support donation in person at FMGC12. It’s just a note for me for later.

I was thinking of listing special t-shirts on Zazzle for Patrons. It would be an additional cost, whatever the pice on Zazzle for a white t-shirt.

Would you be interested in that?

If you’re attending FMGC12 this weekend or GenCon Indy. I will take USD cash.

We’re already up to 7 patrons!

Oops, I forgot to switch over to 2013. I’ll do that later today. You have about 12 hours to get a 2012 badge.

I haven’t switched to 2013 yet so 2012 is still available. Just hit that BUY NOW button to your right.

@Gargantua:

Is it too late to get a 2012 badge?

Or will you make an exception… JUST for me?

It’s not my fault you didn’t have correct change in that toronto hotel room david! (True Story!  :-o)
