HUMAN WAVE 2026

Dear Conscripts and Fellow Travelers,

We are excited to announce a new concept for the 2026 tournament — blind scenarios not yet published by the highly esteemed Gary Fortenberry and Jim Bishop!

The main tournament will be five rounds, starting Thursday evening and completing Sunday morning (14 – 17 May 2026). The tournament entry fee is $60 in advance ($65 at the door) and will be a self balancing tournament with brackets formed by the winners and losers of the previous rounds. We will post more details in the near future.

The tournament will be held at the Hampton Inn and Suites Washington Dulles Airport, 22700 Holiday Park Dr, Sterling VA 20166 (7035377800). Mention Human Wave when reserving a room to get the reduced rate of $155/night. Lodging includes complimentary breakfast. There is an airport shuttle available from Dulles Airport directly to the hotel.

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.

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!
