Tournament Underway!

Games have been progressing Friday and Saturday with 25 gamers attending. As of this writing, our players who are 3-0 are fighting out in what is looking to be the championship match. Also exciting is we’ve had several new players arrive for their first tournament, which is key to growing the hobby. Last day of play is Sunday morning, with several important games planned.

Today we wrapped up two additional fun events: the Grog Bowl (thanks Varick!) and the very popular raffle.

Scenes from the event below. Check our Facebook page for updates.

The Grog Bowl

Dear Conscripts and Fellow Travelers,

The Planning Committee is very pleased to announce that the DC Conscripts HUMAN WAVE ‘famous’ (or infamous?) Grog Bowl is BACK again this year!

Originating from a long-time tradition in Britain’s Royal Navy, it carried over to all branches of the US military. Today it has become a means of building esprit de corps and sharing comradeship at special functions.

This year we present the Grog Bowl with a special twist. In addition to the beverages offered by the Planning Committee, all players are invited to bring the beverage of your choice to add to the bowl! For added effect, you are welcome to provide a brief explanation, justification or very short story about your selection! For example, “In recognition of the US 29th Infantry Division’s fighting in Normandy, I add Calvados, the customary drink of Normandy, to the Grog!

While not required, it would be nice if you could let us know what you’re bringing so we can plan accordingly. We’ve updated the Registration Page with a block to complete if you’d like to add something. Alternatively, you can always email.

See you at the tournament!

HUMAN WAVE 2025

Dear Conscripts and ASL brethren around the world,

The Planning Committee is pleased to announce that we have set the fundamentals for the 2025 HUMAN WAVE. Here are the basics:

WHAT: Our theme this year is “Early War” so we can feature scenarios from MMP’s “Doomed Battalions” and related action which took place during the 1939-1941 time period.

WHERE: We are planning to use the same venue as last year, the Marriott Hotel at Fair Oaks, in Fairfax, Virginia.

WHEN: 11-13 July 2025.

Registration and the scenario list will be published in due time. Mark your calendars now so we can plan to see you there!
