I had no idea there was this kind of a group in the Puget Sound Region. This is an awesome find. Not sure I can attend that event but I would definitely be interested in other meetups

@MeinHerr:

Are Bids going to be �negotiable� between the Axis n Allies…
or is it set as Standard at 16 for Allies?

Set

Funny thing is that this event seems to have networked three different groups of players through individuals attending TripleA Xrays event. I’m confident this will result in more games with a broader group of players.

For me definitely an eye opener that there are more die hard AA fans closes then I expected  :-D

I am from IL but will be traveling to San Francisco for Kubla Con Memorial day weekend.  I had trouble locating the A&A players last year until I found out too late the war gamers were given a space outside the hotel in a large banquet tent.  I see there is a classic 2nd Ed tournament offered, but I’m more interested in a casual game of global.  I’d also play anniversary or 1942 2nd ed.  Any other player headed to Kubla?

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!
