You’re always welcome at my place SA, no pics yet… still lots of work to do, but it’ll be ready for August.

I am hosting the Axis & Allies events at NashCon in Franklin, TN just south of Nashville on May 22-24.

http://www.meetup.com/Nashville-Axis-Allies-Meetup/events/221934955/

NashCon is held at the Cool Springs Marriott Convention Center in Franklin, TN.

Our group will focus on casual Axis & Allies board games: 1942, Global, Classic, and 1914. We will also hold a 1942 tournament.

This is our first year at NashCon. We plan to expand our tournament offerings in the future.

We have special pricing for admittance to NashCon for Nashville Axis & Allies Meetup Members of $15 for the weekend. All fees will be used to support tournament and raffle prizes.  Please RSVP at the link above.

NashCon is a gaming convention featuring Historical miniatures, tournaments, fantasy and science fiction games, role playing, board games, Advanced Squad Leader tournament and much more.

I know 41 can be considered a poor game. It is however cheap enough almost anyone can buy it. It’s also simple. I’ve taught people to play with 41 and even that can seem daunting to them until they get 2-3 games in. So I have to say 41 is a good starter. Classic is good too probably better actually than 41.

It really depends on how experienced the player is with other games and their interest level. A&A is really a hobby almost more than a game. Overall if you really are opposed to using 41 I’d use Spring 42. I would not start with Global.

Lastly you can always start with a simple board and introduce units, rules etc. in stages and then throw them at global. I think baby steps are the key when introducing someone to the game, how fast they start running will be entirely up to them. You may even want to show them at least the three current versions of the game and say “we’ll start here…but this is where it leads to”.

Ok, looks like it will most likely be the weekend of 10/26. That’s Fri, 10/26 through Sun, 10/28. My buddy and I from So Cal will definitely be coming. There may be another friend of ours from So Cal coming as well. Plus, possibly another friend of ours from N. Cal. Our friend from N. Cal is a long shot. So, most likely three of us. Then, we have another two good possibilities(never met in person but corresponding through A&A.org) from S. Cal that will be coming as well. So, that’s 4 or 5 most likely confirmed.

Well here’s the result.

After 16 turn.
It’s a draw!
USSR repulsed all the Axis attack.
England/France lost his colonies and India but keep the control of the atlantic ocean. 
Japanese keep control of the pacific ocean and shut down China. 
USA fails to conquer Europe and Japan.               
Germany contol the major part of Europe but cannot go far.
The most surprising story is the strong opposition of Italy.

We were in front of the whale and the elephant situation.

There’s a problem with the Axis power.
No victory since march 2007!
Japan player is the individual winner of the game.

Next game is schedule for february/march 2009.

During the 2. half of 2008 people from Europe have mailed us regarding interest in a European Axis & Allies event.

Axis & Allies Club Denmark are ready to acommodate and arrange a event if we get enough positive respons of such.
