Very true, Bill!
I had fun, especially beating the pants off of last year's champ, who told me as we set up to play, "In this scenario, 2 good players can at best draw each other!" HA!!!

I'd love for you to come out and join us one of these years - Seven Springs, PA; last week in July.

If I go next year, I may well do like Mark did - withdraw after Qualifying! I take solace that in the 3 times I have gone, I have qualified as #1 each time. In the end I have got one First Place trophy and two Third Places.
I need to work on my "Semi-Finals" play...

Take Care,

  • Congratulations anyways Derek. Sometimes the Dice just hose you.

    Every year I say I'll make the trip from NJ. But every year something comes up.

    Next year for sure though!


    It would be GREAT to finally get to meet you, and to have a chance to introduce you to the WBC cast of characters!!
    Because WS&IM is an old Avalon Hill game, the tournament for it lasts all week AND action can begin as early as the Saturday prior. Only issue sometimes is finding an opponent, but if we are there, Mark and I are in the "booth" frequently everyday. This yr I was there from Sunday through Sunday.
    Plan for it! Paying the BPA membership (cost of admission to the conference) before new years saves you money, as they raise rates on the 1st.

    Frankly, if just a few more youplay.it WS&IM people show, we will probably sweep the top 4 qualifying slots, as it is worth more in tournament qualifying to get more games played than just winning the 1 or 2 you do play!

    A few of the "regulars" are lazy, look to win 2 games and then slip in as Qualifier #4...
