Grasshopper's pics from the FMGC 2012

@MillCreek

There’s been some discussion. Early next year at best.

Update:

Game section added with game description and links to rules. More to come

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.

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

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

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

@Young:

Team Grasshopper surrendered to team Gargantua due to foreseeable conditions.

Yeah, I ate the board, and half of the other team because of it!

You owe me a board BTW…… (Again).

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.
