I was thinking that I could get the Boston boys to send me another copy of the map in a tube and I would bring my parts, but you could bring yours too.
I will be coming by car. I assume that you are flying. I just thought that it would be easier for me to bring the game.
As for the actual day, Thursday is fine by me. I am pretty fluid on what I have planned for the convention and I will just be hanging out in the A&A area being an assistant GM for all the tourneys.
While I understand that you are thinking that we need 6 players, but we normally get by with four. If we have people who want to get in, then great. But I see this more as a casual meeting of us two, maybe Eric, and whoever else wants to try it. It is as much about having a good talk about the game and sharing ideas as it is about a competitive game.
And yes, we should go with a '41 start if it is a one-day game. Right now we have just started a '41 game here, but we have an adjusted '41 set up that Eric came up with. If you would like to look it over, then email me at craigyope (at) comcast.net and I will send the info along.
