We are only 10 days away from the HUMAN WAVE, and Conscripts everywhere are anxiously rubbing their dice together in anticipation. Interest has been so high we’ve had to get some extra space to accommodate the new players, so there will be a lot of gaming going on!
The Logistics Committee has recently confirmed the game room layout with the hotel, see the floorplan.
Significantly we have finalized the Starter Kit scenario list. See the Scenario List page for details.
The hotel has graciously offered the room discount until Thursday 16 June. Stay on site and have more game time! Please contact the hotel directly at 703/790-0207 to make your reservation.
PS: in the tradition of ‘it’s not what you know, but who you know’, contact us if you don’t get the right answer when making your reservation. If you’re late to pull the trigger, we may be able to help you out.
On behalf of the Planning Committee, I humbly submit the following report. By the numbers:
25 registered players as of today (which means five slots remaining!) Of the 25 players:
Eight self-report as “Advanced” (meaning they win more than they lose).
Eleven self-report as “Intermediate” (meaning they win as much as they lose).
Five want to play Starter Kit … and naturally there’s always ‘that guy’ who didn’t complete the registration correctly, so we don’t know his rating. Furthermore:
Five players are traveling from outside the Baltimore/DC area to play and will be staying at the hotel.
On behalf of the DC Conscripts ASL Club, the Tournament Committee expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the sponsors of this year’s tournament. To learn more, visit our sponsors page.
The Logistics Committee is delighted to report that Central Factory #1 has completed this year’s production of dice glasses, and our allotment has arrived!
This year’s design features the WW2 Italian light machine gun, the Breda Model 30Â , and our DC Conscripts club logo. A very attractive script memorializes the dates of this year’s tournament. They also feature our patented dual-use technology, which means they can be used for rolling dice (pictured above) or drowning your sorrows after the game with the beverage of your choice! (Note that in this configuration they are called “rocks glasses”).
We have only a limited quantity. Be sure to order yours when you register.
