Not sure if this has been covered yet.

If you want yourself a free army, head on up to Idaho!!!

Well, one is in Post Falls to cover Spokane/Coeur D'Alene and the other is Boise, but yeah.

Sucks to be in Montana. lol

I will be playing in Fredricksburg VA, does anyone know how quickly it fills up and who else is going there for semifinals?

You should always call and reserve asap. Even GW suggest this.

I would be going to Fredericksburg....If I placed in the top 3.

Sad face, sorry BSent. I Play up north in CT/NY/NJ, so I know nothing of the 40k VA scence. What good stores are in VA/how big is 40k, I assume it is fairly popular since I am heading to NOVA.
Anything I should know?

there's not even one listed in VA though -_- sometimes I hate GW

I live in Stephens City, VA and I have no idea which one's the closest and I know these are not all the locations ... so annoying ...

Wow a whole 2 places in Texas, and none in New Mexico... GW this state is bigger than England!!! Please give us more than 2!
Guess I'm going to San Antonio.

Scroll down to the second page. They are alphabetical.

Atlantis Comics Norfolk 757-502-8954 145 E. Little Creek Rd. Norfolk 23505 VA
Game Vault 540 785 4263 6326 Five Mile Centre Park, Fredericksburg, VA VA

Also, with 2 minutes on Google maps I determined that you are closer to F-Burg (1 hour 36 mins).

In the immortal words of the Governator playing Mr Freeze... Cheeel out.

That's fairly exciting, and wow do I fail with that ...

I hit the END button, instead of PG DN

My bad, I'm trying to figure out which town in what state was closer ...

Ok so I take it back...3 places in TX. The NE, the SE and the south central...what about the western half!

I'll be at Legions for the semi-final.

I'm also headed to NOVA! But the thing is, I live in Western VA, the closest ard boyz preliminary was in WV, while the closest semi-final was in Fredericksburg, about 3 hours away. <_<

The thing is, I played the guy who got second place overall in the first round, and we were the only 2 people in the store to get a draw!

Yep I know, I'm the guy who got first

Hah maybe I will see you there BSent, I actually go to school in VA. So Fredricksburg is about 2+ hours for me, I am at JMU in harrisonburg so fredricksburg isnt too close for me either

Not attending semi finals this year. I don't feel the travel/time/expense is worth it.

Wait JD are you going to NOVA? Or are you talking about the Semis?

JMU? That's where I'm going to college next year. I was supposed to go this year, but I was forced to go to community college for one year to save money <_<

The Semi's, I'll prolly be going back to NY for the BFSGT though in October.

In all honesty you should get a degree in a CC than get your bachelors in a prestige college to save money.

Well, only been to VA once. Suppose that will be a fun trip.

No event in SC, NC, only one in GA and it's not even in Atlanta. Next closest is Alabama or Virginia. Wow thanks GW, big middle finger to the southeast.

Geeze, internet peeps like to bitch. The Lawrenceville location is in the outskirts of Atlanta at 42 minutes away. What more do you want?

As far as I know, GW doesn't really pick them. The stores have to lobby trade sales. Maybe one of the store owners in the know can give more details (like Mikhaila).

No or locations in NC or SC? Why in the world would they do that?

Wow, did you really just mapquest that to respond to my post? One event in three states, and yet Idaho gets two? A more even spread of events, that's what I want.

Edit:

Just to add for comparison. There were 27 prelims combined in GA, NC, and SC. Not including the panhandle of FL that would travel to Lawrenceville.

Idaho had 10 prelims.

Well at least he saved me the troubles,

Thanks Preter
now I know which one's closer.

Whoever is going to Fredericksburg, VA I'll be seeing you there

Yeah, I did, because you were complaining for no reason. Sure you might not have one in every place you want it, but ask the Dakotas how they are feeling about their semis locations.
Idaho's locations are 8 hours apart by car. One of them supports Eastern Washington, Idaho and Montana. the other supports Idaho, Wyoming and Eastern Oregon.

Atlanta has one. Alabama has one 2.5 hours out of Atlanta. Jacksonville probably covers north FL and south GA. NC/SC are probably screwed and have to go FL/VA/GA. If no stores in there area took up the flag for Semis, then that's the store's bad.

If you plan on playing at the Norfolk Va location you should sign in quick.

I'm not sure how many tables the store can support...possibly no more than 20 players....and at least 5 of us are already signed up.

Personally...If you want to win I suggest going somewere else, cause you're stepping into MY house.

Between myself and BatManuel, Come to Norfolk at your own peril....
