Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Greg Regets]

After attending Fort Worth Wars and having such a great time, a
thought came to mind.

It seems like many people have an interest in having a 15mm National
Championship for Warrior. For the purposes of this post, lets not
rehash the rightness or wrongness of that desire, but instead
consider Fort Worth Wars as a super venue for this venture.

1. There were 18 players this year, for a single day event in
15mm ... a pretty good showing, which gives a base for good
attendance in the future.

2. There is enough space ... I was talking to the organizers of the
Con, and they were saying that two more rooms were there to be had.
What would be great is that a large Warrior event could probably get
private room/rooms, which is always nice.

3. Dallas/Ft Worth is an airline hub, and easy drive. This helps draw
players from all over ... including the Midwest/Texas corridor. San
Antonio is just a much more difficult trip from the midwest, as is KC
for those in South Texas.

4. There is already a small vendor group that attends Fort Worth
Wars, which would grow considerably were Warrior to choose this event
for a 15mm National Championship. This would offer synergy between
the needs of the event, and the needs of Warrior.

5. It's a great location to bring the family. You are literally
within walking distance from Six Flags, and in the heart of the
Arlington shopping district. You can even catch a Texas Rangers game
with a $3 cab fare.

So, if there is to be a 15mm NICT, Fort Worth Wars might make great
sense. I know attendance from San Antonio, would be very, very good.

Thanks ... g

The 18 folks at FWW is impressive. It helps greatly that SA, D/FW and LA have
solid Warrior cells.

We are trying to get a 15mm Championship going, but not sure FWW is the answer,
given the time of year. However, I for one am willing to work with that. I'd
also like to see what comes of Charles' initiative to have a team championship
that is in a month (January) that does not conflict with so many other cons.

I'd be very interested in hearing what everyone has to say on which would be
better. I don't think location is the issue - I think it is timing. Really do
think it is the when and not the where. I'd go to DFW, for example, or CA, or
NY or FL or wherever. But on the wrong weekend, I wouldn't go down the
street...lol Thoughts from others?

Also, Greg, stick to Championship. It can't be the NICT and it is not a
non-issue.

KC has the same issue that San Antonio has ... in that each are a
tough trip from each other if you want to pack an SUV with guys,
drive, and go on the cheap.

Consider a tournament that is a Saturday/Sunday affair.

Unless you want to arrive totally drained, you have to make the drive
two days. That means taking Thursday and Friday off as vacation days.
After the Sunday game, you really can't make it back and get any
sleep for work on Monday, which means another vacation day. Three
day's vacation for a two day event.

With D/FW, you can drive from either the KC area or south Texas in
one day, and still get some sleep before the Saturday games. If you
leave right after the playoff on Sunday, you can get home to either
place by 9 or 10 pm ... which still gets you enough rest for work the
rest day.

The difference is one vacation day for D/FW, and three for either San
Antonio or KC. I know you are military and get tons of vacation time
Jon ... but for those of us in the private sector, they pass vacation
out with an eyedropper, and speaking only for myself, I like to spend
mine with the family.

Not trying to be difficult here ... just pointing out the HUGE
logistical advantages Dallas/Ft.Worth has, over most other places in
this area.

Thanks ... g :-)

Actually, Jon has officially retired now, and no
longer has the days off he used to.

We hear about that every once and awhile here in KC
:-)

I do agree with him though. For the most part
travelling somehwere isn't the problem, it's the
weekend you need to travel that amtters.

I don't think anyone has ever seen you not agree with Jon on this
board Todd. ;-)

Look, I was just trying to point out that this is a CENTRALLY located
venue, that people could get to using one vacation day.

What is so bad about that weekend anyway? Is it just the conflict
with Border Wars?

I am not in the military. I get crap for vacation days. This has nothing
to do with me anyway, as I said that I personally am far more interested in
*when* as opposed to *where*...lol
Again, for me, I'd go to Iceland to play Warrior on the right weekend, but
on the wrong weekend, it could be next door and I would not be able to attend.
That's just me.

And, more importantly, Recruits. FWW is right in between two cons here.

Which leads to the question: who - besides Greg - has a problem with MLK?

Barring Christmas inflicted financial belt-tightening, MLK should be fine by me.

Greg,

For me, it's just a busy month, with local conventions
and the like. My wife is understanding, but I don't
think she's "That" understanding. As it stands right
now, I also have a couple of work conflicts, but I can
resolve those given enough notice.

I don't have a problem with MLK day, and will undoubtedly attend if I
can get a few other San Antonio players to come with.

My ONLY intent was to point out that Dallas/Ft. Worth is centrally
located between what is probably two of the larger bodies of players
in the country, and might be a great choice for a "not a 15mm
NICT". ... and that FWW has a great facilty, solid attendance in
2004, and lots for the family to do within walking distance.

Thanks ... g

P.S. Did I mention that within one mile of the venue, one can get any
number of hotel rooms ranging from el-cheapo, to luxury suites?
