Battle @ The Beachhead

@barnee No! We missed him if course. He had to cancel a few days beforehand.

Hello Gamers,
I’m hosting an Axis & Allies tournament Saturday, Oct. 2 at Apple Valley Lake, Ohio (near Mt. Vernon). I am looking for 6 or more players. I hope you & any friends you know who like to play can join.
Origins Gamefair in Columbus will not be hosting an Axis & Allies event this year so hopefully this will be a good alternative for any players that were looking forward to competing at Origins.
Following are details:

1rst Annual Battle of Apple Valley Lake
WHEN: Saturday, Oct. 2. Games start at 10 am.

WHERE: Floral Valley Community Center. 850 Crestrose Dr., Howard Ohio 43028.

Apple Valley Lake is about 60 minutes northeast of Columbus.

WHAT: A fun, casual 4 to 8 team Axis & Allies tournament. We will be playing the Axis & Allies 50th Anniversary Edition. Each team will consist of 2 players. If you don’t have a partner, we can pair you up with one. This is a single elimination event. Games will be limited to 6 rounds. Each game will take between 3 to 5 hours to complete. Side games/ consolation games are optional. Multiple versions of Axis & Allies will be available including, 1914, Global, Zombies & 1942.

Lodging: If you are interested in staying overnight there are several options. There is a nice campground at Apple Valley Lake. Event organizer (Vince) is a property owner so contact him if you would like to make arrangements to stay in a tent or camper & he’ll arrange for a guest pass. Apple Valley Lake also has cabins for rent & several AirB&B rentals. Nearest hotels are in Mt. Vernon which is 10 min. away.

@koala I sometimes think I enjoy 1914 the most of all the A&A variants koala. You certainly should give it a go.

These quarterly events are held in Derbyshire, England.

Anyone wishing to join us is welcome - just reply to this thread or PM Private Panic.

Thus far we have played any of 1942.2, Anniversary and 1914, as players wish on the day.

Currently we have seven or eight players, so there will be two games, with space for one or two more to participate.

Book early to avoid disappointment! :-o

Chaotic? I am the most relaxed. Often watching Rugby, rather than sitting at the game table. No Girlish screaming from me.

It’s a whole day of A&A slaughter and mayhem in Derbyshire, UK. Thus far these events have included games of 1942.2, Anniversary and 1914, as players wish on the day.

Currently we have six players, so there will be two games, with space for more to participate.

Glad you enjoyed it Credulous.

My West Russia miscount was a disaster for G and absolutely the biggest error of all errors in our game. Just amazed that after that the axis both gained a second opportunity (that failed) to take Moscow and even so successfully kept R bottled up for sufficiently long for a replacement G European stack/threat to be in place.

After the West Russia disaster I thought I had lost. Either that perception of impending doom was wrong (as I know you believe) or the axis military commanders played a blinder to claw back a draw, with their own “hopes” of final victory. I quite like the second interpretation! :-)

After the West Russia catastrophe I couldn’t afford too many more mistakes and think I pretty much managed to avoid them.

What would have happened if I had not bogged up in W Russia? I probably would have discovered another game changing error to make instead!

Looking forward to our next game. We’ll see how I manage to bog that one up! :roll:
