				RE: TCIII Nashville 
				 
					I wrote a nice AAR on the event only to have my internet connection poop out on me & I lost the entire text.  So I will have to investigate my now unreliable internet connection & give an abbreviated version. 
 
The decision to hold TC3 in conjunction with NashCon was wise.  I didn't get over to their side of the hall too often but many of them came over to check out the games.  They all showed a lot of interest & some even bought a few games.  It was a good cooperative effort. 
 
I was able to play 3 or 4 games of France14 HTH against RickyB.  From the start it was obvious that VM has put a tremendous amount of work & thought into this game.  To say that the OOB info, background history & game notes are thorough would be an understatement.  They are literally hundreds of pages.  I would highly recommend that before anyone plays that they read the notes on tactics & how to play the different armies.  Although the interface will be familiar, this ain't PzC.  Read the notes - they explain the dynamics of early WWI warfare better than I ever could. 
 
Second, the round table discussions about the operational series of games were very informative.  I would just say to all out there in Blitz-land that your comments & suggestions are at the least being read, if not in actuality being acted upon.  Unlike the ill-informed comments you'll occasionally see out there, the PzC series is not stagnant but being improved upon all the time.   
 
Finally, I met a bunch of great people at TC3. A lot of ideas were exchanged and although we always didn't agree what was good or not good for the series these conversations were both thought provoking & insightful.  I do want to specifically mention Mike, VM, RickyB, Dave (aka Blackie) and last but not least, Glenn Saunders.  We shared a lot good ideas about the operational games and a lot of laughs also.   
 
In conclusion, I'm not fully convinced about how truthful the story about Chuck is but I intend to investigate further & get to the bottom of it.  :P

					Well Al, I think it is worth a little more probing, but I hope this is the last of it, at least for now.:rolleyes:

					Did anyone take some pictures of TC3 that they don't mind sharing?  Maybe we were so busy talking that no one remember to take any?

Ernie Sands took quite a few.  Here's the link.

Thanks!  It took me a while to find it, but I see it now (on the far right in the blog section).

I think he spent most of his time hanging around the restrooms.  :chin:
