For anyone interested, we're having an initial meeting at Unique Gifts & Games in Grayslake on Monday, April 27 at 5:30. It will be to gauge interest in an escalation league or other formats, play some games, demos, and meet people in the area. I anticipate about 10 people to show but more are always welcomed!

I won't unfortunately be there because Mon & Weds are soccer nights for my daughters, but a few of us that play there regularly (WM, Malifaux and starting some Infinity) on Tuesdays will be showing up. I was personally hoping for Thursday as the Infinity night at UGG! Ah well.  Looking forward to being able to get in there every once in a while depending on the soccer schedule. Thanks, -Greg |

Hey Greg,
I'm hoping we can do some sort of league format whereby players can freely schedule their games over the course of a week or two. There's no way any one night will be conducive for everyone. I feel we can get more players involved this way but we'll see how today's meeting goes.
Hopefully we can meet for some games. I'm in nearby Volo.

Absolutely. Getting a variety of opponents will be nice. As it is I only play the two guys currently at the store that are getting into it. Wish I could make it tonight but it just isn't going to happen until middle of June when soccer ends! -Greg |

The meeting went well - 8 people were there and they played some demo games. They're scheduling another meeting in two weeks on Monday night again. There was some talk of a regular Infinity night in addition to some sort of organized play schedule so people could meet on their own schedules. More to come.
Thursdays are good for me. I wonder if we could meet up for a quick game?

Probably. Thursdays a buddy of mine and I meet up at my house for a game - I have a table with full terrain so it's convenient since neither of us is super-close to UGG and at the house in the basement we can drink and be merry. We can certainly get a game in that way if you're interested - I'm in Hawthorn Woods. If the store is closer we can look into that as well. |

I (Chris B, Haqq player) enjoyed seeing so many new faces last night. I hope most of the new people end up purchasing armies and start playing on a regular basis. Mike and I played a 300 point game and a few of the newer players watched us. I will definitely be at UGG Monday May 4 to get another game in. It would be great if other people showed up too. Also, there are some finer rules points I need clarified.

Hey Chris - great to have met you! I think we have the start of a great group. My buddy Steve is jumping in with Aleph. Good to see all the Facebook chatter.
I probably won't be able to play on Mondays but maybe we can meet at ugg another time for a game. Tuesday and Thursday work best for me.

Tuesday's at UGG is normally warmachine (although we've been playing Infinity then too, like last night two of us played). It's not a problem as long as there are tables free - and I can't recall a time when there wasn't at least one free but the "official" game of the evening gets dibs on tables. Thursday like I said, I'm open to play especially at my house. I'm generally only "let out" one night a week by the wife. |
