There will be two games in August.
The 11th and 25th.
Both will be Nappy games to re-familiarize everyone with the quick play rules.

I think Mark said he could handle the Saxons and Westies but he "might" be able to supply SOME italians.

And Rolland says he's still working on Italians too.

That really only leaves the Wurttembergers unnacounted for.

I am able to play either weekend, preferably on Saturday or Labor day Monday. My cousin would like to play as well, but the chances of him being able to make it increases dramatically if it is pushed back a week as he has part of his doctoral theseis due labor day weekend.

 

 

On checking on troops.......

 

I hope to bring over my troops on August 11th (presuming a game is on).   It would be good idea indeed to have a parade turnout of the figs :-)

 

On working on the table this weekend........

 

Sorry, tied up most of the day, although I might be able to call by at 6 pm-ish if you wish and if it is not too late in the day to be calling?

 

On moving from the Labor  Day weekend..........

 

I am able to play the following weekend if necessary.    I think your point about knowing how many extra players would appear if the weekend were changed, is the essential question.   If changing the weekend would not increase player numbers but just lose us a day of gaming I would not favor the change.   If on the other hand there would be an definite increase in numbers then a change might be a good idea.

Whatever is decided I would like to know fairly soon, so that if necessary I can make alternate plans for Labor Day weekend (probably go visit with some gaming buddies in LA or such).

 

Just my 2 cents,

JC

I'd like to finish up on the terrain table this coming weekend.

I'm hoping that some of you will be able to come by on Saturday.

 

What's left to do??

- finish putting the resin in the rivers

- finish the forests

- paint the table edges

- create some terrain cloths to cover the cracks between boards

- congratulate each other

- drink beer

- eat pizza

 

I show Me, David, Larry, John, Mark, and Rolland as providing troops.

But we really need to do a physical inventory to asses where we stand.

 

All troops seem to be covered except the Italians, Croats, and Wurttembergers right now.

It would be nice if the guys who will be providing figures could begin bringing them over.

We can sort them and put the tags on them.

There are bound to be some missing units that we thought we had covered.

Its better to find that out early rather than on the day of the battle.

 

ALSO:  It has been asked whether or not we might move the game to the following weekend of Sept 8th - 9th because some of the Northern guys are intending to go to a convention in California on Labor Day weekend.  I have not been given any indications that those guys will definately be interested in playing Borodino but I'm told there is some interest. 

 

The battle was fought on September 7th, 1812 so the change would move the game closer to the anniversary date. But, switching weekends will reduce the game to two days rather than three since it won't be on a holiday weekend. More players will definately be better since the battle is so big. But I also know that some of us have specifically made plans to have the Labor Day weekend available for this.

 

 

Thoughts ??

I would be interested in the Friday night game if you wanted to run a smaller British Colonial or even an Ancient game. Just to show the club colors.

Bob,

Rick and I are setting up gaming in an empty storefront for the upcoming NerdvanaCon, which is part of Second Fridays in downtown Mesa.  The folks at Queens Pizza have graciously given us an empty storefront (125 W. Main Street) next door to them to run gaming (a portion of it will be used for Retro Video Gaming).  I know it is short notice (we received the info Wed night), and I have no idea what the turnout will be like, but we thought you might want to come out and promote the club and run some games.  

The event is Friday night August 10th from 6pm to 10pm and Saturday (times still TBD, but likely 11am - 6 or 7pm).  Hope all is going well,

Like I mentioned earlier, we have no idea if the turnout will be good or bad, as this is the first time they've tried to do this at one of these events.

Thanks and have a great weekend,

======================================================= 

 
Any of you guys interested in this?
It is scheduled on our regular game weekend.
I do not know what NerdvanaCon is.

Here is a blurb:

NerdvanaCon: Downtown Mesa, 8/10/2012

 

Nerdvana’s fifth anniversary is nearly upon us — Aug. 22, 2007, was our first post — and we’re planning to celebrate all the geeky things in the East Valley community that have made this blog so successful and rewarding.

Rather than a stand-alone event, NerdvanaCon will serve as the theme of downtown Mesa’s monthly Second Friday block party. Keep watching Nerdvana (as well as Evermore Nevermore, Second Friday and the East Valley Tribune) for specifics, but here’s a taste of what we’re planning:

• The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension — A free movie screening sponsored by Bookmans Entertainment Exchange and hosted by the Dr. Diabolic Show. Show starts at 9:30 PM and seating is limited, so please arrive early at the OneOhOne Gallery (101 West Main Street, Mesa.)
• Genre themed discussion panels hosted by the OneOhOne Gallery include:
  • 6 PM ~ How to Draw Sheriff Joe – a workshop presented by Russ Kazmierczak Jr. of Amazing Arizona Comics.
  • 6:30 PM ~ Video Game and Sci-Fi Armor: From Concept to Reality – prop & costume creation presented by professional prop-artist/creator Allen Amis.
  • 7 PM ~ Intro to Concept Art & Digital Painting – Anabel Martinez shows how anyone can get started painting awesome fantasy and sci-fi artwork.
  • 7:30 PM ~ Voyage Trekkers – Q&A with the Voyage Trekkers creators of this local comedy web series that follows the exploits of the worst crew in the Galactic Union.

Science & Technology demonstrations and displays at HeatSync Labs.

Costume contests at the OneOhOne Gallery at 8 PM with prizes awarded by local merchants & restaurants.

Strategy gaming event presented by Vul-Con and hosted by Queen’s Pizzeria.

A genre themed artist event will be hosted by Monsterland, where comic and pop culture themed artisans will be vending their wares in a creepy corner of the haunted venue.
