Your friendly, no-prep tournament in Franconia is now open for registration!
We have a new location and can accomodate more players this year, so please come & register, if you want to join us.

Beware that our new electronic organizing system is stable but slow. So after a click, just wait a bit and everything will sort itself out.

Hope to attend,
and meet Kris , Paul, Daniel , Christian and the others, especially my friend that I did have a great scenario at Grenadier with.
I do particulary like the no preparation format of Conscripts and encourage it.
Hope to find a good train connection or a Autobahn if need be.

Yours
Christian, Gelsenkirchen-Buer

Großeibstadt - there's a name that brings back some memories. I was stationed in Schweinfurt with US Army 3rd Infantry Division (2nd Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment) from 1987-1990, and one of our missions was to supplement the 'Border Trace' along the East-West German border. Our 'trace' segment went from just north of Mellrichstadt (incidentally, the home base of our partner Bundeswehr unit, Panzergrenadierbattalion 352), all around the 'Heldburg Salient', around Coburg, around the 'Sonneberg Salient', ending just north of Ludwigsstadt. I was 'on trace' at the end of '87, and again in '88, so I'm pretty sure that I drove through Großeibstadt on more than one occasion, maybe even stopped at 'die Bäckerei' for some filling bread loaves/pastries, and strong coffee! (and perhaps a flask of locally-sourced Schnaps for later when back at the CP ;) ).

Alas, haven't been back in that AO since I left active duty in 1990, though I have been through Germany a few times for work (and many times transiting Frankfurt airport...). Would love to get a chance to get back up there again, just to see how much things have changed in 30+ years, I'm sure for the better (no fences, walls, mines, or GAK troops, for starters...or DDR Grenzpfählen, for starters, let alone getting into a 'staring contest' with a Mi-24! 🤠). This year may be hard to swing, but perhaps in the next couple, is this a yearly tournament? Wouldn't mind playing some Schafkopf, while I'm at it! My German is rather rusty (it comes back quickly with 'immersion' and bier, so that's a plus)...would like to set a 'target' for future ASL travel! 🆒

It's great to hear from someone with a personal connection to the immediate region! We definitely plan to hold the tournament in Kleineibstadt in the coming years, I hope you can manage to attend eventually!

We are at 16 participants now! Perfect for a 4 round tournament, but the venue has more room, so any latecomers are welcome. Seems we are the only tournament in Germany this year :-(

Der Einfachheit halber schreibe ich auf deutsch. Ich nehme teil und plane, am Freitag um zehn Uhr hier abzufahren, benutze die Autobahnen A7 und A44.
Auch aus ökologischen Gründen und der Abwechslung halber könnte ich auf dem Weg eine Person in meinem KFZ mitnehmen.
Bei Interesse ist eine PM hier ratsam oder eine email an cherde@web.de

Ich habe etwas vergessen; Ich fahre von Gelsenkirchen-Buer los , zuerst über die A2.

Wie sieht es diesmal mit der Verpflegung aus? Alle Teilnehmer Eures Turniers warben damit, dass Ihr sehr gut selbst für das Essen sorgt, besonders Tobias und John waren voll des Lobes ...

We hired a cook from Brazil for the barbecue on Saturday!
Draught beer is a real possibility (but not 100% certain yet)!

hola Tobias,
ist es möglich, vor Ort Postkarten der Location zu erwerben?
Umständehalber werde ich für mich alkoholfreies Bier mitbringen, das bekommt mir besser!
