Just moved into the area and currently have no car, though I'm only like a mile walk from the metro.

Currently have 4 armies over 2k pts and a gaming table with some pretty awesome terrain. Always open for gaming at my place if anyone were anywhere nearby, and if anything storewise is along a metro line i could go for that.

Always looking for escalation leagues also, especially now as im going ot be starting a tyranids army, one of those would be great.

If anyone knows of anything of that sort in the area or wants to have a game sometime just leave me a pm, thanks.

hey man im always down to game i live up near manassas which is about 30 min from alxeandria (use to live in alexandria) unfortunatly i dont have a car yet either but i as well have a sweet 8'-4' table with a lot of scenery and a great place to game, hit me up if your down to chill and game

Wow, all these northern VA folks popping up. I love it that our area is so active. Check out the IFL forum, might be able to find an opponent on there. Lots of us throughout NOVA.

yay old town!

A bunch of people play at victory comics on saturday its opening gaming day. Crowd is a bunch of kids and then a group of us late 20's early 30s folk. There is a bus that actually gets you pretty close that you can take from King Street but I forget exactly which one it is. Although it is a loong bus ride.

Hmmmmm, where is Victory Comics? I remember an old model store up there on King St but haven't been up to old-town in ages.

its actually not in old town. You gotta take a bus to falls church area. I know a burn of you guys play in franconia area, is therea bus that gets you there? I'm always looking for more people to play with.

I live in Fairfax right next to Fair Oaks, I know there's a group that plays at Game Parlor in Chantilly but I think you have to pay to join them or something.

I would love to play more though.

It's because we're 'recession proof'

As for Victory Comics, if you know where Escalation Burger is in Falls Church, its right in that area.

One of the former Complete Strategist(the store you remembered) employees now works at VC and the store has a HUGE space for gaming. It's pretty neat (but its no Game Parlor in terms of size).

As for the new guy, welcome to NOVA! (I say NOVA and not VA because, as I am sure you have already learned, this part of the state is COMPLETELY different then the other 85% of Virginia) hope to see you around!

Only because VA is a poor and sh!tty state to begin with. Just like the bums on the street panhandling arent effected too much by the recession.

(coming atcha from Virginia Beach, VA! Yea, I hate this place! )

Holy .... i hadnt checked this thread in a while and theres a lot of replies now

gonna have to get some games goin.

Pay to join us? Yes and no. We do have an annual fee ($15) for anyone that wants to be a paid member. This allows you to vote in the annual council elections, propose and host events, and participate in member only events, such as leagues and quarterly tournies. But if you just want to show up and play at open gaming, post to the forum, hang out in general, nope, no cost. Note that the Game Parlor has a $2 gaming fee. We have nothing to do with that.

Cool, just found this thread. I'm in the springfield area and often game at the Springfield Plaza GW store. Good to know there are other DAKKA members in the area,

Cool man, I'm right by Old Town. I play an in-progress BA army. I go to Springfield myself, ask for the guy with the ridiculously long name.

Or Hoff. Asking for Hoff is fine too.

Cool Hoff. The guys know as Trin and I'm usually there with my son. Just ask for the Ork guy with the Humma!
