Gen Con LA

I have made the official bid to hold a tournament at Gen Con this year. Players will be in 2 groups ( A and B)

under a swiss system you will play at least 3 games over two days. The player or team with the highest total after 3 games will face off. games begin at 11am and run 8 hours with a break in the middle. LHTR in effect.

point system:

Allied win =.75 point
Axis win = 1 point
Draw= .5 points
Lose= 0 points

Not sure about number of VC but it most likely be 9 or 10.

ideas?

Its BYOG at gen con. Especially the Bulge game. Ill have a copy for the con. I may allow basically any game to be played within the line of axis and allies. So players could decide on original, revised, bulge, d-day, Europe, and pacific.

However, the point structure may have to change with the last 4 games. I do not see any necessary advantage in playing the allies in those games.

me and Djensen plus a few of my pals.

i hope your not sleepy?

I think we will have no fewer than 30 players… but as many as 45 could show up i would not be surprised. Of course a team must have 2 people so about 8 games running each round would be accurate… 2 bracets w/ 4 teams each or more. On Saturday you will get a bunch of people so you may want the Revised tourney on that day. The fluff tourneys could be on friday and sunday. Thursday will be a bust im afraid… but well give it a try.

WE can only account for ourselves… but you might try Jeff Steins the War game : world war two. He will be there. I know about 4 people going to play AA because they go to gen con every year and play it anyway even w/o a tourney. Plus i told about 6 others at the last con about the touney. I dont know the names… only the faces. The usual suspects allways show up. Thats about 12 guys no matter what… they are cronic to be sure.

No he bought the one where africa is cut off and the game takes a long time to play.
