Latest turn of events, the organizers are thinking of using the 2.0 rules when they come out. That would give us 3 weeks to familiarize ourselves with the rules. I really hope he doesn't go that route.
Also reguarding 2nd edition, I talked to altered states yesterday, they are in the process of moving locations and still had no info on the free books. I"m wondering if it will be easier just to get it mail order,,,

My guess would be mail order would be faster, it seems like Altered states may be too concerned with thier moving for a new fow rule book, and rightly so. SO let me know what you7 guys decide. I will go which ever route.

Well, I had a blast at Historicon this year. The FoW tournament was pretty cool. Thier tables were outstanding. I think Orville got shots of them.
Orville and I went 1-2 Eric went 2-1
I had a 2/5 loss, a 6/1 win and a 3/4 loss
scores are like this: Win you get more points If you lose 1 unit it drops one notch if you lose 2 it drops another
So A total victory is 6 points for you and 1 point for the loser if you lost a unit its 5 for the winner and 2 for the loser if you lost 2 units its 4 for the winner and 3 for the loser
The had a raffle and orville and Eric both won templates. gratz guys!
PLayed some cool games down there, by far the best game we played was called Warbirds, a ww2 air plane game. it was so cool we purchsed a copy of the rules.

Just saw the point results - nice to know that even though we barely have any idea what the f#*K we are doing playing this game, we still play it well enough to not come in last! ;D
Nice job, sorry I missed it.

John, also some reassuring news. We are pretty much right on about how we are playing the game. Unfortunatly now we have to learn a new edition. However many players seem to like the changes. ;D
Wierd, they work for me.

However many players seem to like the changes. ;D Jason & I played 2 V2 games (well, a mix LOL) last thursday. Worked well, though with new errata on bazookas/piats get tank assault 4 and the "coverfire" (platoons 4" away from the team getting assalted also can defensive fire) infantry is silly hard as nails now - if you think you had trouble before....
