Von Deekin's Gary Con 3 Game Events

Seeing as we are just a few short weeks away from openning the Event Submissions I thought I would put my ideas out there for people to mull over:

1) "Wings of War" w/ Von Deekin's homerules:
I have expanded my home-brewed rules for this great game which now include cloud banks, mid-air collisions, pilot special abilities, ace statis & (with the release of "Flight of the Giants") bomber intercept & bomber escort missions. I have also revised the critical damage effects rules & adjusted my 'random aircraft tables' to reflect the new releases from its publisher, Nexus Games.
I hope to run two events daily. An early morning introductory flight, followed by an early afternoon mission, each event to run 2 hours long. The afternoon flight will NOT have the pre-flight instuctions, it will be for players who already know Von Deekin's Homerules & I MIGHT run this as a tournament, with prizes for the top scoring aces, depending on how many people sign up.
I also HOPE to have 'free' copies of Von Deekin's homerules available to players who may want a copy.
(I currently own enough copies of this game to effectively put 108 aircraft on the gaming table so we don't have to worry about how many people sign up, but I would like to keep it under twenty per event.)

2) Axis & Allies: 1940 Global War:
This one I plan to run late saturday afternoon. It combines A & A Pacific 1940 with A & A Europe 1940. It will be a mamoth game, the mapboard is now almost six feet long, & can have up to seven players. Running possibly 8+ hours I would advise only true 'grognards' to sign up for this enormous event. Once again, if enough people sign up I may convert this into a tournament with prizes awarded. (& after playing 8+ hours they will be GOOD prizes) :shock:

3) Fortress America: (Milton Bradly Gamemaster series)
I want to run this late friday afternoon. I only have one copy of the game which would limit it to four players. It is a great classical game that is loads of fun. If anyone wants to play this one you better put your name on the 'dotted-line' fast!

There you have it! Let me know what you think.......... :?:

 

I'm in for both, Deek. And this year, I will actually play Axis and Allies!!!

 

To Cool!! I hope Luca & Gian Franco make it too. We'll, fer sure, have to do the Next Door Pub again on thursday night, now that Luca knows the proper way to eat an Italian Beef. :lol:
Will your bud, Jimmy, be coming up? He cracks me up.
Mama said to say, "HI!."
Gonna be great seeing everyone!

 

Wait up there pilgrim. Who said you are invited?! You Post whores are a bad bunch and only cause trouble. I think I'm gonna have to check with Chief of Security on allowing you to attend.

 

(You so funny!)
Ticket was bought some time ago, & as far as Security Chiefs, they shake in their boots at the sight of my shadow.
(You really need to work on that John Wayne impersonation.)
We Post Whores keep people outta trouble.
(See your reading this right now & your in no trouble at all!)
:lol:

 

In an effort to shake off my shady past as Jr. post whore, I will anser this whole column of posts with but a single one.

Yes indeed it would be cool if our Italian friends are able to make it again this year. I am always up for showing our European brothers how to drink properly. ;-)

As it stands now, Jimmy has expressed interest in coming and he certainly has first "dibbs" amongst my fellow nerdlings.

Tell mama I said "Hello darlin'. It's nice to see you. It's been a looong time..."

And Dale, we are the security. I just stand behind Deek and my friend Jimmy and hurl insults. works every time!

 

Oh! That was you talking behind my back.

 

No. That was an imp. I'm more of a Bugbear.

 

Now where did I put that spray can of 'IMP BE GONE'?
I keep confusing it with my 'BUGBEAR BUDDY' canned aftershave.
:lol:

 

Oooohh oooh that smell. Can't ya smell that smell... :lol:

 

Yeh, gamer stank!! :lol:

 

Okay, here it is;
Friday 8:am-10:am / Von Deekin's Wings of War
Friday Noon-8m / Axis & Allies 1940: Global War
Saturday 8:am-10:am / Von Deekin's Wings of War
Saturday 10:am-Noon / Von Deekin's Dawn of War (Hosted by Hauptman B. Stenger)
Saturday Noon-2m / Von Deekin's Flight of the Giants
Saturday 4m-10m Fortress America, sponsored by Dead Games Society
Sunday 10:am-Noon / Von Deekin's Dawn of War (Hosted by Hauptman B. Stenger)
Gonna be a busy weekend, & I like it!

 

Okay, I pretty much wanna be in all of those games. I like Axis and Allies, I like Fortress America and I can't wait to try Wings of War. But event registration hasn't started yet has it?

 

Not until November 21st.

 

OKAY!! I've added another game. :shock:
Sunday from noon-4m I will run a "Cave Troll" tournament. This is a fun, easy to learn, but, difficult to master game for 2-4 players that takes about 45-60 minutes to play. We will play 3 rounds & whoever has compiled the highest score is the winner, & takes the prize.

 

Nnnnnnnnndddddddddaaah, mmmmppbfff, ahhhhhhh. That game is so awesome. I wish I still had my copy.

 

The Dawn of War events scheduled for Saturday & Sunday at 10:00 am have been cancelled as Hauptman Stenger will not be able to attend Garycon 3.

 

Here is the revised schedule:

 

Okay, I've fallen in love again with a game series, nothing new for a game-aholic like me. It's Academy Games "Conflict of Heroes." It's a great tactical game of WWII era combat & it's packed with everything; T-34's, Tigers, cavalry, artillery, Stukas & Shturmoviks, trucks & halftracks, minefields & bunkers, & the list goes on. Think of this series of games as a doppleganger of the old "Squad Leader" series but being much more simplified. (A single firefight, scenario, can be played in as little as an hour.)
I recently watched a video from Essen Spiel 2010 (on Board Game Geek) which featured the series developer Uwe Eickert explaining the game & it's compononets. (Great interview.)
Anyhover, I was thinking about running this as an event on Sunday morning. Wondering if there would be anyone interested in learning about this awesome game system?

 

This is going to be my first GaryCon and I would definitely sign up for a Conflict of Heroes game!
