Twin Cities, MN- Regular group at Village Games

Where: Village Games in Anoka, MN (It is on the north side of the Twin Cities.)

When: Generally every Wednesday. Exact dates will be posted in this thread as they occur. If this thread hasn't been updated for a while, call the store first to see if we are still active.

What: Federation Commander. We might do another game in the SFU (most likely Armada or Call to Arms) on occasion, but we mainly focus on FC.

Training sessions: Alternating Wednesdays, 6:30pm-9:30pm.

Training Sessions are for learning the game. This is the best time for folks wanting to learn the game or are in need of a refresher to show up. The Training sessions are also for learning/practicing with the weapons and systems that will be featured the following week.

Scenario sessions: Alternating Wednesdays at 6:30pm-9:30pm (maybe later).

We mainly do official ADB scenarios. Which scenarios will be played is usually announced a week ahead of time. The person in charge of selecting the week's scenerios are in charge of providing all of the materials for the scenarios. Eveyone else only needs to bring their dice. If is helpful if you have your own copy of the rules as well. It is also traditional for the person running the scenarios to be the rules ajudicator for the night.

Side Note: We are a pretty friendly group and love to encourage new folks to get into Federation Commander. That said, when it is time to play a scenario, we are done teaching for the day. If you need to learn the game and can not make one of the Training Sessions, feel free to contact me to make other arrangements.

Edit: Changed description to match current schedule.

I am possibly moving to Minneapolis this fall. Are you guys still meeting regularly?

Yes we are. We are taking a brief break for the rest of the summer due to vacations, Gencon, Viking pre-season, the MN State Fair, etc... But after Labor Day, we will start meeting regularly again.

We might be moving to Wednesday for the Scenario fights in order to accommodate schedules.
