Directions

It's off of North Druid Hills between Briarcliff and LaVista sort of near the Target, but on the other side of the street. The condo complex is called Druid Forest Condos. When you go into the complex you will pass mailboxes on the left. Continue around the loop to the right. The building will be at the top of the hill on the left. I think its building "I". Number 1367.

As told by Jon:

For your game log, since you weren't there, we played Axis & Allies. Scott controlled USA, UK, and Russia. Jeff controlled Japan. Jon G. controlled Germany. We played for about 4-5 hours and there was no clear winner at that point. Russia was backed up into their capital with a second front moving in from Japan across Asia. But the U.S.A. had an invasion force set in Africa ready to move in on Germany. We then called the game over due to time.

As told by Jeff:

Russia (Scott) started the conflict by invading Germany, and though the initial assault was successful, German (Jon) counterattacks pushed Russia forever from German soil, and began losing its own ground to the blitzing Germans, despite being reinforced by British (also played by Scott) forces.

On December 7th, Japanese (Jeff) forces came out of the morning sky and destroyed the American (Scott) fleet at Pearl Harbor. However, the remaining skeleton fleet anchored off of California made a speedy counterattack and neutralized the Japanese navy.

Japan then pushed Westward, wiping out central Asia and India. Expanding its industrial complex left and right, Japan started churning out an army of tanks, which it used to attack Eastern Russia. Embolden by its successes, Japan even successfully took over the small American outpost in Alaska, forcing America to shift troops to the Western US.

Germany made an initial blitz and conquered all of Africa, but a massive American force landed and pursued the outnumbered Germans, easily wiping them out. Germany, having lost its navy in battle with British ships, could not transport anything back to Africa and ceded the continent to the Allies.

While the German Luftwaffe pounded British ships, sinking transports and postponing the inevitable British invasion, the German eastern front continued pushing into Russia, surrounding the capital and getting ready to settle in for some good bloodletting.

Then we quit. :)

We played an introduction game of Buck Rogers using many of the "Advanced Rules". After a failed rush attack by Buck (Drew), he was confined to the small planet of Mercury, licking his wounds. Killer Kane (Jeff) was slowly conquering the asteroid belt while Black Bart (Jon) and Ardala (Wade) built a massive force ready to conquer. Then, at the last moment, Buck pointed out to Killer that he could win by attacking two territories. Killer siezed his chance and after two closes battles, was named the victor. The game lasted approx 3 hours, but would have lasted longer if Buck kept his fucking mouth shut. It feels like a 4-6 hour game, probably longer if all 6 players play and it's played to the bitter end of complete galaxy conquest.
