Hello Generals,
I hope all have rested from a grand day of Flames of War at Tripleplay in West Lebanon. It's sad we are seeing the store moving from the Lebanon area. Then again, the store is not dead. The Flames of War guys will travel to play this game. I love the game. So I will travel to play at Tripleplay in Claremount.
I can say at first the store was walking distance from my apartment from the Green. Then they moved to West Lebanon. So I had to use my war wagon to drive to West Lebanon. Then again, it was Jeremy that demonstrated the game to me on the green. So he is the source of my addiction.
I would like to thank our Tournament Organizer's Vintage Steve and New Steve for a Great Tournament this weekend. I kinda pushed my way in the tournament, but it was a testing ground for Carnage 2014. I brought Tournament software to run future tournaments. This will be a great help in running our tournaments.
I also deployed a GOPRO Camera on a Mini tripod to time lapse my rounds and to capture our final moments at Tripleplay in West Lebanon. I created a time lapse movie of our battle of Berlin. I can say the Americans did the bloody fighting with the German heavy armour and the Russians came on the Flank to mop up what German armour was left active.
My tanks destroyers finally killed Jeff Mayo's King tiger Ace with 11 recorded American tanks dead from his stubborn defense of Berlin. It was a flank shot exposed due to 2/3 of the tank visible on the corner of a building it was using for cover. It was a Miracle shot.
The German Panzer commander was defiant about the shot. Then again, he rubbed it in our face about killing 11 American tanks. Jeff is a aggressive blood thirsty Panzer commander.
So to Carnage 2014,
I will be the Tournament Organizer for the Flames of War Tournament at Carnage 2014. My comrade Shawn Tester will be my Second in Command. This year will be a Early War Tournament set at 1525 points. There will be 3 rounds set at a two hour time limit. I donated $150 dollars to random draw prize support for our recent tournament.
I will up that donation to $500.00 dollars in Gift Certificates spread out in multiple drawings. I will be working with Tripleplay and Battlefront for prize support. I had a great conversation with Dave at Battlefront at Templecon about promoting the game in our area.
I want to make this year at Carnage 2014, a banner year for Flames of War players. I want Carnage to be the biggest Flame of War Tournament in New England. That is my goal. So if you feel rejected and abandoned. Come play at Carnage 2014 in the Mountains at Killington, Vt.
I would like to point out we will be following Battlefronts rules for tournaments and this tournament will be reported to the National Rankings Headquarters for Battlefront.
There will be more to follow in News of dates and times. Stay tuned.
