Grasshopper's pics from the FMGC 2012

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

@suprise:

Great pics
Next year I’ll be there with 2 G 40 games and set up a second edition and one like Ozteas
Now that the days are getting shorter and cooler weather you’ll see my face here more often
S.A.

We look forward to seeing you there SA! The A&A area was definitely busier this year than last. Then again, the entire event was busier!  lol.

A ton more pics have been added to the FMGCon facebook album. I’ll be adding them to the website album some time soon as well.

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.

I got my tickets in May and they were just starting to go up. I could’ve flown in from SF for under $400. I waited a week and paid like $440. I may not be the one deciding whether I can go or not. I have two sets of friends getting married next year and I don’t know when. Chances are one wedding will be in the middle of GenCon and the other in the middle of the Beer Bloggers Conference. I seriously doubt they will conflict with FMGC13 and Spring Gathering XI.

@squirecam:

Once you go…you gotta go back.

Get airline tickets in February (or earlier) and that saves costs. Also, try and get into the gencon housing block on the 1st day, which also is the lowest local hotel prices.

@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

Sorry guy maybe next time.
I redone my kitchen and it’s not finish yet!!

Throw my name in, I’ll be there  :-)
