Wintercon '09 Welcomes Academy Games to run Demo's throughout the Con!Come to Wintercon '09 and try out some of the great games that Academy Games has to offer. The Makers of Conflict of Heroes will be on hand to demo and sell this fine game. from their website: 'Conflict of Heroes - Awakening the Bear! is the first game to be published by Academy Games. We are a new American publishing company striving to introduce Euro-style quality games produced in the USA. Conflict of Heroes is a unique, easy to learn, and fast playing game system that we are sure you will enjoy for years to come. CoH - Awakening the Bear is the first in a series of strategic tactical games using this system. Future games currently in development will cover the western front, the eastern front in 1943-44, the African and Pacific theaters, Vietnam, and Iraq. Each game is based on extensive historical and statistical research and will introduce boats, airplanes, and many more units to the series. Academy Games places a special emphasis upon high quality materials and components, similar to European games, including large counters, mounted maps, and incredible graphics. This game was printed in the USA using specialized linen papers, no-warp core boards, and customized glues. We hope you enjoy the results. If you have any questions or comments, please e-mail us. Since this is a new game with a revolutionary new system, it is very important to have a core group of gamers who understand the rules thoroughly. Send us an e-mail, we would love to hear from you. Finally, positive word of mouth and endorsements are vital for a new company. If you like CoH, please tell others. If you have a BoardGameGeek account, please rate the game at www.boardgamegeek.com/game/24800. This will help make the game successful and hopefully add vital resources for the exciting new games that we have in development. Thank you for your support and I hope to meet you at a convention soon.' We are very pleased to have Uwe Eickert (pronounced 'oova') on hand to explain and play his creations.

Important New Policy Concerning Prizes from games!Because MDG has been getting fewer prize donations recently, we have decided to change the prize policy so that our prize collection remains active for as long as possible. Everyone attending the convention will get a door prize ticket; raffle tickets can also be purchased for our "bigger ticket" prizes, and we will have the usual drawings for these prizes. As for prizes for events, we are going to be switching to a system where the entrants and/or winners of events will receive a ticket. These tickets will be used for drawings during the convention and the winning ticket holders can get prizes. The drawings for these prizes will be more often and for more tickets than the usual drawings we have had during previous conventions. We have decided to do this to preserve our prize collection for as long as possible, and to allow players to play and enjoy the events as opposed to playing solely to try to win a prize. |

You will have to be approved so we can keep spam to a minimum, but we will do our best to make it a quick turn around. So click to sign up and get in touch |
