WHAT IS WINTER OFFENSIVE?
Winter Offensive is an MMP sponsored tournament and convention. Once again, this year's proceeds from admissions, raffle sales, and tee-shirt sales will go to the World War Two Foundation. Winter Offensive has a long history as an ASL tournament, however, as other lines in the MMP catalog have grown, so has their appearance at Winter Offensive. Our latest "tradition" features organized play for Great Campaigns of the American Civil War. (And don’t forget the late-night eurogaming!).
Despite this, we still feel that outside of ASLOK, Winter Offensive is the ASL tournament to attend!
The annual Winter Offensive is once again at the Comfort Inn in Bowie, MD, conveniently located at the junction of U.S. 50 & U.S. 301 in Bowie, Maryland. Room rates are $116.10 a night for a double and $107.10 for a king (which includes a full hot breakfast!). Don’t forget to mention WINTER OFFENSIVE when you make your reservations to receive the room rate.
Our charity is the World War Two Foundation, an organization dedicated to preserving the stories of World War Two veterans for future generations. We are 100% behind fostering interest in military history, and the Foundation does just that. The Foundation has opened a new education center in Rhode Island and really needs your support!
If there is demand we are always happy to have tournaments in our other titles; so if you are interested in organizing such an event at Winter Offensive, please drop a line to info@multimanpublishing.com and say so! As always, if you just wish to open game, there is usually space available; we encourage open gaming of any MMP title!
WO features its traditional free pizza dinner on Saturday night.
Come and join the fun. Gaming, the “Honor” keg, Pizza Feast Saturday Night, and three and a little more days of fun filled competition. Plus, it’s gaming for a good cause—you’re having fun playing games while supporting World War Two Foundation.
The festivities begin Thursday evening for ASL when the first of several ASL playtest mini-tourneys (featuring new scenarios) kick-off, some ASL Main Event play is possible, and GCACW activities commence. Open gaming is available throughout, although space may be limited due to actual tournament play. Be warned, the management actively frowns upon camping on space during our busy periods. The ASL Main Event starts in earnest Friday morning, more people arrive, and we are quickly in full swing.
GCACW Events - Ken Lee, John Hyler and the rest of the GCACW crew have a great lineup of events scheduled for this year's Winter Offensive. This year's events will feature scenarios and campaigns from the new Thunder on the Mississippi - Grants's Vicksburg Campaign module. Also, based upon its success last year, this year they will again have a series of "GCACW Bootcamp" events specifically designed for brand new and beginner players.
