The Colonial
GT is a very laid back tournament emphasizing gamesmanship, good fun, high sportsmanship, and gentlemanly competition against some of the best folks in the hobby. Good humor and friendly games are the expectation rather than the exception. This year we are going back to Scenarios for each round as the Scenario Card tended to causea lot of Heart Burn. The Colonial is being held in the Clarion Hotel, in Cherry Hill, NJ again this year as it did a great job in bring back the "Old School" feel of a
GT much like when they were held at the BWI Holiday Inn. So Pack up your army and come expecting to have a GREAT time!
