Hello everybody. I'm looking for a group to play A&AM with. Preferably on the weekends. I live close to Minneapolis, and I currently game at Phoenix games in Uptown.

Cool! It just so happens that I was at the Source today, and they have open A&AM Saturdays from 12pm, to 6pm. I'll be stopping by in the next couple of weeks.

You guys should come down to the Monster Den in Minneapolis this weekend (March 25th, 2006),...we have a Tournament scheduled.

The Monster Den (http://www.monsterden.com)

We are looking at 200 points with no date restrictions. We will be playing on the maps from the last tournament:

Contested Skies releases this weekend so it should be a good time!

I'd go, but I have plans, and I've never played before. I don't think I have 200 points of one army. It sounds liek a great time though. Thanks for the update.

I live about 5 miles from the Monster Den, and I never knew it was there. Definately worth a peek next weekend.

When is the Monster Den holding tournaments this year? I could not find the information on their calender. In fact I could not find any AAM info on their calender. It's not filled out for April either, atleast not on my browser.

The AAM tourneys at the Den are posted in the Den not sure why they are not posted on the calender. Anyway these are the places and times that I know of for AAM in the Cities.

Monster Den (south MPLS 41st and Cedar )
Tournaments every other Sundays. Starting this Sunday the 9th of April ( to the best of my knowledge ) 4pm start time so show up before that.

Source ( Snelling and Laurpenter St. Paul)
Wednesday evenings after work. Non Sanctioned tournaments they are looking at getting them sanctioned.
Saturdays open gaming usually starting around 12 or so.

Unicorn ( hwy 10 and 694 one exit north of 694 and 94 East side of the Cities ) Thursday nights. Don't think there are tournaments just open games.

I went to the MonsterDen, and wrote down their tourney times. The first one is April 18th, and then that Saturday, and every other Saturday, until mid June. Unfortunetly I won't be around for any of them, as other commitments prevent me from going.

I have yet to visit the Source on a Saturday. Maybe next Wednesday.

The Monster Den Tournaments should be as follows:
April 8th - THIS WEEKEND!
April 22nd
May 6th
May 20th

On April 29th, we are taking the Axis & Allies Miniatures Road Show up to Duluth for the day. Probably leaving Minneapolis around 9:00-9:30 AM and arriving in Duluth by 12:00 Noon. Tournament starts at 1:00 PM. Great events planned. Four round tournament, extra prizes, and hopefully some support from WotC! Shop closes at 9:00 PM and we are planning to hang out as long as people want to game!

MONSTER DEN IS A TRIP

Check out the Monster Den this up coming Weekend Tourney, APRIL 22nd. I went last week, and had a blast for 8 hours. Had people to talk and trade with, Plus I got to play with one of the countries best A&A players, Winner of Gen Con Indy 2005 Axis & Allies Miniatures Tournament SSGT Huble.

I played SSGT Huble and got my butt KICKED, but in the end I got a free booster, plus 8 hours of PRICELESS EXPERIENCE. So if your in the twin cities area I highly recommend checking out the Monster Den on April 22nd, Tourney starts around 5 P.M. show up early and there’s a sure bet players will already be there for some small 100 pt battle as well as having an opportunity to trade.

Hooyah!

Barring a complete disaster,...I'll be at the Monster Den this weekend for the April 22nd Tournament between 11:00 AM and Noon.

Hope to see you all there!

Yes, there is AAM gaming at the Unicorn on Tuesday and Thursday nights. We are just trying to recruit enough players that we can do some tournament play.

We're still looking for some more people for our group at Village Games on Tuesdays and Sundays. We have about 4 or so people, now and always looking for more (especially people who show up consistantly like me.)
