Gencon 2020 (Indianapolis July 30 – August 2, 2020)

@CWO-Marc Very happy to be called Nelson.
And Adam is my Villeneuve.

I was there on the last day on Team Allies.

One of the 2013 & 2015 GenCon winners as Germany/Italy
One of the 2016 GenCon winners as Japan

Trevor, Rob and Myself as the Allies narrowly escaped defeat before turning the game into a victory.  Three British infantry turned the tide by boldly retaking Calcutta.

Good game guys!

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 :)

Hey all,

Just wanted to give a shout out to Mr. Smorly and his crew at the Smorly Swamp at Gencon 2016.  Really made a great effort to make us feel welcome and provide a great referee for determining teams and times.  Made some awesome trophies, had a huge number of great prizes (+30 games, minis, shirts, everything).  He puts a ton of time and effort into these events and they wouldn’t be the same without him.

Also a shout out to Bob Roby, 2012 and 2014 Gencon G42 Tournament Co-winner.    Played like a true gentleman; offered great advice, and was a gracious loser at both Kantcon 2016 and in our Gencon Tournament Game.

We and he want a rematch without delay here in Kansas City at Tabletop Game and Hobby!  Thank you to Phil Kilgore for providing a free practice and play space for our club.

Maphead and I won the G42 tournament our first time at Gencon, 3-1, Ally, Axis, Axis, Axis.  It was an awesome experience and the entire crew of the global games went out for a drink.  Our opponents first day, James and Jason, went out to dinner with us and shared war stories.  It was an incredible experience and every player was a sportsman and a gentleman.

Look forward to seeing you all again in the future at the Swamp.  Shout out to Tirano and Siparo who attended and the rest from the boards for all their good advice and feedback.  Veni, Vidi, Vici!

@Young:

It’s gonna be strange not seeing the name Ryan Davison etched as champion in a long line of title wins.

Ya, but I can still safely say that I won every in-person tournament that I have participated in for global :)

Location - Derbyshire, UK
