I am bummed I couldn’t make it this year. I have recently finally figured out how big the A&A community is in the Puget Sound Region. I will definitely be watching for these events more closely so I don’t see them so last minute

Well…  I initially didn’t want to do a bid because two of the players were completely new to G40.2, and I don’t like using non-standard rules with new players.  However, Axis had a stunning first turn due to some great dice rolls and sub-optimal play from the UK player.  So Ichabod insisted that the Allies get 20 IPCs to make the game more interesting.

Check out this pic from the event.  Let this sink in.  These tables are just the regular tables for gaming at the game store :)

Location - Derbyshire, UK

All welcome up to a maximum of 10 players. We currently have space for 3 more.

Likely one game of 1942.2 and another of whatever we fancy! (1914, Anniversary or 1942.2)

If you wish to join us please add to this thread or PM me.

Cheers

Looking for partner or 2, preferably someone who has great experience with global already who is also going to gencon.  I have a lot of experience with the 2nd edition of global (around 4-5 dozen games under my belt).  I just don’t want to scramble for a partner at the last minute like last year.

I am sad that they wont be having g40 in tournament format :(  Have to do 1942 apparently.

Well, unfortunately, G40 does not lend itself to tournament play.  We are finding out G42 doesn’t as well but is it the best alternative.Â

I will let Questioneer address this when he arrives.  But in short, just no way to have a tournament at a CON.  Not enough time… :oops:

Peace,

Sorry, couldn’t make it this year…really wanted to defend our 1914 title from Origins.  BTW- the 1914 game rocks with the new tourney rules.  Hopefully Larry will confirm the new slightly adjusted setup for next year also.

As far as G42- Greg I am really warming up to this game as I think others are as they play it.  However like G40- its not any faster unless you give guys the 12-14 hrs (versus 8hrs) to play it in.  If you play 8hrs it might as well be all day, that way players can finish the stinking thing.

Other than that I put G42 on equal par with G40- both are superb versions.
