Greetings,
While I would love to play in the tournament in Saturday I will be engaged in other games. I will be at the convention from Wednesday night until Sunday morning. Yes, I am that big of a geek. I have the rules and a French Army and Saxon Army. I would love to play against someone while I am there. Any takers? I can bring terrain and my miniatures etc..
Thanks.
Hi MichaelK,
I won't have my 28mm French army done in time for this year's Historicon. However, at this point it is my intention to attend.
If my trip becomes finalized, and it is more likely than not that it will, if we can work something out where you and I can get in a game that could be fun. Would you be willing to let me use one of your two armies since I won't have one of my own complete by then? I don't care which.
I have 15mm and I will bring all of my troops, I think I can field two complete armies... give or take and I am more than willing to give and let my opponent take. I just want to try these rules. Let me know an thanks.
Michael - just contact Joe Moore (you can get his email address from the News item on the home page.)
Michael mentioned he'd "love to play in the tournament", but he'll "be engaged in other games". I won't be playing in the tourney either, yet as long as I do attend, I'm going to try to connect with Michael for a game.
Does anyone know if Historicon has space available for pick up games?
Usually there is a couple tables in the ancients tournament area, but you really need to wait until all the tournaments start to find out.
Yes there is space for pick up games. Usually after the Flea Market closes games are run in that area. But I am thinking about Lancaster, so I don't know what VF holds in store for gaming space.
Sam's suggestion is still a good one. Joe might know of others who expressed interest in the tournament though it turns out they higher priorities during that time but would still like to get in a game of Lasalle during the convention. At a minimum it will alert Joe to maybe notify others that this topic exists. If the pickup games are not during the tournament, you may also find some of those players joining in as well. It's happened before with another game system. :)
I would hope VFCC has open tables. It would be a crime to have all that space and not enough tables to game on!
michaelk ... I'm am getting close to finalizing my attendance at Historicon. As long as I do, at a minimum I'll be there Friday evening and all day Saturday, with gaming scheduled for Fri evening, Sat morning, and Sat afternoon. Could you be available for a game of Lasalle Saturday evening, after dinner, at about 7pm?
that sounds great. Friday after dinner. I will be there Wednesday evening so we should arrange a meeting spot at 7pm.
By way of troops. I have 15mm's. My artillery stands are currently adhoc as I remounted my old figures and haven't completed either army yet. I have a British Guard with a cavalry support choice and I have French infantry with a cavalry support choice. I'm at work now and don't remember exactly. I also have a bunch of Saxon infantry and cavalry. We should be able to put together something from what I have.
I also don't have skirmishers painted yet so we will just hve to remember they are there. I know it's far from perfect but on the bright side we can play.
I will bring as much terrain as I can carry and a mat.
Just give me a where and when to meet on Friday.
Michael K ... In my post above I actually mentioned being available on Saturday after dinner for a game, not Friday. I'll very likely not be available for a game on Friday evening. I'm hoping to be in on convention games Friday night, and Saturday morning and afternoon. That's why I was wondering if you were free Saturday evening, after dinner at about 7pm? But if you're busy, then maybe we can figure something else out, that is as long as I can actually attend the convention as I'm hoping.
I am scheduled in a game at 4pm on Saturday afternoon. It is supposed to last until 8pm. After that I am free. Let me know. I will be at the S-586 - The Cold War - Sat. 4 PM,
Michael K ... Ok, its official, hotel booked for Friday and Saturday nights, attendence is almost certain, barring some natural disaster or emergency. Anyway, I missed pre-registration, didn't even realize there was one. So my games will be catch as catch can, so I'm told. If you can let me know which games you'll be at on Friday, maybe we can make a connection then, I'll have some idea of what I was able to sign up for and we can figure out when we both have free time. If nothing else, then 8pm on Saturday night could work, but I might even be free on Friday night if I can't get what I'm hoping for at that time.
hey,
I don't remember which game I'm playing friday night. Contact me off list and I can give you my contact information
I found my games. on Friday I will be at game 409 - skyline drive two at 1300.
Saturday I'm playing 586 at 4pm - cold war continued.
I sent you an email with contact info. Looking forward to connecting for a game of Lasalle. We'll figure something out, and 8pm on Saturday evening might be best.
I'm also looking forward to seeing the Lasalle tournament, too.
That is the one event I will miss; Historicon :-(
Just when I finished some new Lasalle units.
Not easy for me to make it to the event now.
