Kublacon, San Francisco Airport, May 23-26

@djensen Hi Dave. That sounds great. It would be fantastic if you could stay the day and play, but even a pop in visit would be good.

The next one is this coming Sunday. After that I will set the date for the next quarterly event and let you know when it is. We are probably looking at September to avoid summer family holidays. If you want to let me know your availability September/October I will try to accommodate you.

Cheers
Adam

Hi @cactipus,

That would be awesome - I’ll see what I can arrange. I think it is possible.

I’ll send you a message on the chat when I know more:+1:

Coming up next weekend. Always a great time, with lots of gaming, not limited to Axis and Allies. Lately have had Scythe and Supremecy on the table, and there’s talk of giving Twilight Imperium 4 a go.

Axis and Allies titles typically played include: Global, 1914, and 42.2. Most other titles are in someone’s car, so that isn’t necessarily everything we’ll play.

Gaming takes place in a neighborhood clubhouse that has lots of comfortable seating, a full kitchen, and huge bathroom facilities. It’s close to many different restaurants, and delivery routes of the local pizza joints.

We’ll start Friday morning, and play all day, so come prepared to play long games, and be ready for lots of fun! After hours gaming normally includes a few rounds of Secret Hitler, which is hilarious. Seriously. We’ll knock off late, and do it all again all day Saturday.

Looking forward to seeing lots of new faces, so if you’re in the Nashville, TN area, swing by and have a look!

Funny thing is that this event seems to have networked three different groups of players through individuals attending TripleA Xrays event. I’m confident this will result in more games with a broader group of players.

For me definitely an eye opener that there are more die hard AA fans closes then I expected  :-D

Credulous has provided the following battle report on the other game:

The 1942 game was contested between Credulous and two non-forum players from the village. The Axis very quickly established themselves as firm favourites for the win wiping out a significant Russian stack in Karelia, and the Siberian army massing on the Japanese border. The Allies never really recovered from these early losses, which were compounded with the early loss of Egypt and India. In a desperate bid to counter the American’s launched an audacious bid to capture Toyko via amphibious landings, but this desperate gambit was quashed and in the following turn a four carrier Japanese battlegroup sailed into home waters to sink the American battleships and cruisers and leave the US Pacific fleet in tatters. Finally the British launched a desperate attack of their own on Berlin having established a temporary beach head in Holland Belgium, but this attack was also quashed leaving nothing to prevent the triumphant Axis armies marching into Berlin. At the close of the game the Axis empire stretched from Normandy to Eastern Siberia, encompassing everything in between and the entirety of Africa, along with Australia. The contest was over by 3.40pm allowing an early get away for all concerned to soak up the sunshine and fine weather!
