Fuji and I have added to the cult! He works at the shop where Fuji had the Advanced Europe map printed, and is coming back for a second evening of Russia in '41. Also, I am deserting the Wall, and my fellow Crows, and moving to Florida next January. Any Strugglers down there?

Hi Doc - I have been out of action lately - but good luck on the move to Florida - but you know what they do with deserters. . .
I am not aware of any struggle players in Florida - but there may be some. I know John is planning on hosting a big game of struggle at Historicon in Fredericksburg, Virginia at the end of July - not sure how far that is for you.
Please let me know how your 41 game goes!

When is WBC?
-
2013 WBC
July 29–Aug. 4, 2013
(with associated pre-cons on July 27–28)
Lancaster Host
Lancaster, Pennsylvania
I am actually showing up early for the Precons this year to play in the A&A tourney that I used to run.
-
So would Struggle be a good fit for that con?

You are probably going to the better event for getting a look from gamers. They may be more into it from a miniatures and wargaming point of view.
While WBC is more of a true gaming convention, that would probably work against you since the majority of participants would be eurogamers. You would also probably get a bit of the "snob" factor from the wargamers since the game uses miniatures, which they would equate (with their old biases) with A&A and the plastic pieces. Those old guard types still have 2nd edition on the brain and think that it would be below their level of complexity.
I am really just being a whiny bastard in that I would rather have you gaming with me instead of the Historiconers.

We need to make that happen - when are you available?

How about Toronto in the Fall?
I am going to an A&A gathering there. It's run by the guy who sells my dice towers and was trying to produce the country specific plastic parts that I suggested could be used for your games. He had trouble with the factory/company in China and is still trying to bounce back from that.
Here is the link for the event:

Think about it.

Not sure - only 2 days...
-
What else ya got?
-
Sure it's only two days, but right now it's all I got! And I only have that because I am overlaying that with a weekend for the girls to see some relatives in Ontario.
After taking the long (10 days instead of the normal 7) WBC trip, I will have pretty much use up my gaming "goodwill" for the year.
I only put out the Toronto event as an option since it is part way towards Boston. I would love to eventually get our two groups back together again for some gaming at a mid point like Syracuse, NY.

Syracuse is totally doable
