Guest Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hey all. I and a pair of BFC's trusty beta testers, Normal Dude and Field Marshall Blucher, will be hosting a preview of CM:BN in the Oakland / SF area in late February. As with the other previews, venue and date will depend on interest and availability - it'll likely be on one of the last two weekends in February, and the main event will probably be on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. I've got a spot in mind, right near bars, a good hotel, and our friendly local wargame store but I'll need a tentative headcount before I try to book it. I'll be there, so if you'd like to personally pester a BFC staff member for information that I'll have to deny any knowledge of, this is your chance. Food, accommodation, transport are all up to you but are all easy to get at. If enough people are interested I can set up a post-preview dinner at an area restaurant. Let us know if you're interested and what dates will work for you. Phil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfhand Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 As a BA resident I would show up, if only to pester a BF guy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that coming out of the "Bren tripod defense" slush fund? I'll see if I can put together a visit. Thanks for setting up a preview! Great! And no problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runyan99 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I'm in the LA area but might come just for the fun of chatting with wargamers, but I can't say yea or nay until I know an exact date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theFightingSeabee Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'd give an L.A. area preview, but I'm pretty sure I'd be breaking my non-disclosure agreement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt Belenko Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Back in the day of the CMAK release there was a So Cal preview. My wife made other plans for me that day. :mad: Now that I'm divorced when and where in So Cal? I'll bring the chips and dip. I make a mean chili onion dip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Very possible I'll go. What venues do you have in mind? My hope is to snag a space at Endgame in Oakland - dunno if you've been there, but it's very wargamer-friendly - we'd like as not get some drop-ins. If I can't manage that I'll probably get a conference space nearby. There's good eating around there and BART is just a couple blocks away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joethejet Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'll make it if at all possible. Need to know the date before I can totally commit. Oh, President's weekend would be bad for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagleboz Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I also live near LA and would make the drive in a heartbeat if I wasn't married with a baby to boot. If a So-Cal preview happens I will definitely be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been there, but bloody hell, it's next door to Pacific Coast Brewing, and a block from The Trappist both of which I'm fans of. Odds of me going have just improved dramatically! I have stayed at the Marriott right there before. Very nice. Can sometimes get smoking deals (like I did) from Hotwire. Yah, BART is a stones throw. I'll take Caltrain up, then to BART. Cool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odds of me going have just improved dramatically! Excellent! Yeah, it really is a great spot. Honestly I'll probably do food and some miniatures-shopping around there whether I manage to get the space or not. It's best to be off the street by dark around there but during the day...fantastic. I have stayed at the Marriott right there before. Very nice. Can sometimes get smoking deals (like I did) from Hotwire. Yah, BART is a stones throw. I'll take Caltrain up, then to BART. Cool. Yep, BART's right there and if I can't get Endgame I'll try and land a space at that Marriott. There's an amazing (and I mean that) BBQ place just up the street near Jack London Square too if anyone's up for the walk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_the_wino Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hate Oakland but Phoenix's scouting report shows promise. May have to stay the night if there is drinking involved. Marriott it is! Definite maybe, will firm up once the date is announced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
