Hi all,

I know Vassal Con is just around the corner, but I only made it to one regional last season and we didn't get around to planning one in Chicago. I'm also dying to take set 26 out for a spin. Therefore, I was thinking of trying to host a tourney in Chicago sometime this fall...October or early November, most likely.

Would people be able to make time for this? If so, what weekends would work the best?

Any thoughts?
Randy

I'd be more than happy to Vassal in and be a robotic voice playing some games lol.

I appreciate the plugs for Vassal, but this is an in person event. There are usually plenty of chances to get Vassal practice in various formats.

I don't want to be rude, just don't want the thread filled with folks looking for virtual games. Thanks.

I might be able to do something in October if given enough lead time to get off work. Ill keep an eye out for when you settle on a date. I'm guessing Giles would be game as well.

Awesome! We have targeted October 19, but I don't know what the status of that request is. I'll try to have more info soon.

I talked to Mikey Giles and he said he would be interested as well. Just need to confirm the date so I know when to ask off.

We are working with the Dojo. Should know in a few days. There's also the possibility of another location. Hope to have an announcement thread up by the end of the week.

I'm having trouble pinning down a site. It will be the 19th, but at this point I'm not sure it can happen. I will try to have be able to say for sure today

Sorry for the uncertainty.

So sorry, folks, I'm calling it off. The Dojo isn't available and the other shop I was looking at isn't getting back to me. Maybe another time ThumbDown

We are all sorry to hear that. Maybe we can do something on Vassal, or change the location.

At this point, the other places I've investigated are booked or unresponsive.

Vassal is a possibility. Would people like that?
