Waterloo Iowa. Not too far from you. If you get there...the whole weekend is AAM gaming, most snacks supplied, and about 30-35 people you've been writing to on the forums and FB. Most everyone will share the room cost as well. I should be there Thursday night thru Monday
I am strongly considering a visit to MaizeCon next October 2018. Dano903, Could you please answer the following questions:
* The convention runs from a Friday Oct 12 to Sunday Oct 14. Will there be gaming all day on each of those three days or partial on Friday & Sunday with a full day on Saturday?
* What is the full address for the Clarion Hotel so that room reservations could be made.
* If I wish to Game Master an event, what is the procedure for reserving time and space for it?
* Is there a deadline for event submission?
* Is there a space or time limit for a proposed event? I'm thinking of running an AAM event which would require 6 hours using multiple tables.
I'm sure that I will have more questions later, but for now these are the ones that come to mind as I contemplate attending.
HELLO!
We will start early Friday morning. We have the gaming room from Friday thru Sunday. We'll post the hotel information a little later. For gaming submissions... just let us know how long your game will take and the number of players. Maus and I will accommodate the out-of-towners group first, but we will have game planned gaming available to fill any empty spots. We're a small but concentrated group of forum players. a month prior is great for submission You can run a 6 hour game...Friday, or early Saturday is probably a better time.
The group will share rooms as much as possible, and to whom ever is willing. i'll throw in $100 of snacks, drinks etc. for the group. We'll have a nice size room where we can lock up at night. We'll have some give-aways, and some participation awards. There's a great local gaming group in the area with lots of support! Easy to walk to restaurants, and grocery shopping across the street. We'll also have a 3D version of The Great War to play.
Although I haven't made any hotel or flight reservations just yet, I can now say that I do plan on attending MaizeCon 2018 this October. I'm working on a scenario entitled Strike North - Invasion of Norway Apr 8 - June 8 1940. It will feature both WaS and AAM battles within a larger strategic / operational setting. I will speak about this in greater detail in the AAM Scenario & House rules section of the Forumini.
Today I booked my flight & hotel reservations for MaizeCon 2018. I continue to work on my Norway 1940 Strike North AAM Campaign. Details can be found elsewhere on the forums. Hope to see you there!
