- | As the official start of the Diplomacy round approached it was time for me to don my seersucker suit for the | + | |
- | traditional opening festivities. | + | |
- | Oddly this year we had no awards from past years to announce, so after some introductory comments and a photo of all those who had chosen to wear the correct attire for Seersucker Round, it was time for the main event to begin with four boards of eager Dippers ready to go. | + | |
- | The games at Dixiecon this year were all named for regions of North Carolina, so let’s focus for Round 1 on the game called Outer Banks. | + | |
- | This one went late into the next morning at the Russia of Randy Lawrence-Hurt eventually pushed for the solo against Tim Crosby’s England, Liam’s Stokes’ Germany and Jack Craig’s Italy. | + | |
- | Due to EG conflict towards the end and some misorders, Randy almost took 18 but fell just short - and then after Dave Maletsky took over the 1-center Italian position as a replacement player, the players finally decided to end on a 2-way for Tim and Randy because Liam had (according to Tim) promised such a result if Tim would cooperate on | + | |
- | stopping the Russian solo. | + | |
- | Quite a start to the tournament, and that 17-center two-way result being out there likely changed the trajectory of several other games throughout the weekend as sharp players knew they would be chasing Randy’s score in order to win the tourney. | + | |

- | === Iron Man 1=== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Iron Man tournament is for all the games we play other than Dip throughout the weekend, and it was also in full swing on Friday night. | + | |
- | Games included Cascadia, Outpost, Pan Am, Puerto Rico, Broom Service, Thurn and Taxis, and a mammoth game of Railways of the World using both Americas maps and four physical tables pushed together to make enough room for the six players involved. | + | |
- | It was…a lot. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | ==== Round 2 Team tournament ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Saturday morning saw four more Diplomacy games, which also doubled at the Team Tournament. | + | |
- | Taking center stage during this round is the game called The Triangle, which featured David Miller’s Russia and Todd Craig’s Italy taking their Wintergreen alliance all the way to the very rare 17-17 two-way draw. | + | |
- | While we have seen this old-school result in several virtual games during the pandemic period, I could not tell you the last time I saw one in a face-to-face event. | + | |
- | Obviously, the spectre of Randy’s 17-center finish the night before was looming large here. Also of note was the Unifour game, in which the players really could not get anything going towards a legitimate finish under Dixiecon scoring and had to settle for the awful 6-way draw result. | + | |
- | Rony Mordvinov’s 10-center Austria in this game just could not get him a score to keep him in contention after two rounds of place, much to his chagrin after a nice Round 1 performance. | + | |
- | === Iron Man 2=== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Iron Man action during the day on Saturday saw some new games played, including Lords of Baseball, Ark Nova, and Princes of Florence along with more Dune Imperium. | + | |
- | After the traditional BBQ dinner in the late afternoon, it was time on Saturday night for more open gaming along with play of one of Alex Ronke’s Diplomacy variants. | + | |
- | Some new names to the list of games played included Robo Rally, Magic the Gathering, Ticchu and Splendor - with old Dixiecon standard Here I Stand also seeing a second play. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === Iron Man 3 === | + | |
- | Iron Man gaming continued on Sunday morning, with games of Power Grid, Titan, and Twilight Struggle adding to the games played, along with additional boards of games like Ark Nova which had already seen a lot of play. | + | |
- | For the Iron Man event in general, 39 boards of 27 different games were played over the | + | |
- | weekend, which was fun for all concerned. | + | |
- | ==== Round 3 ==== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Going into Round Three of the Diplomacy tournament, there were several players in contention with two-way | + | |
- | draws in the bag from previous rounds. | + | |
- | Answer: | + | |
- | Coast game, beating out David Miller who achieved his second two-way of the tournament in game Blue Ridge as Germany. | + | |
- | Peter Yeargin and Jason Bennett rounded out the action with their own two-way draw in the Great Smokies game, parlaying that into third and fourth finishes overall in the Dip tournament. | + | |
- | A very dynamic end to an amazing event on the Diplomacy side. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | === PostDip gaming === | + | |
- | + | ||
- | After congratulating Karthik for his second Dixiecon win and bidding farewell to those players leaving after the | + | |
- | awards ceremony, it was off to eat for all those players staying for more gaming Sunday night. | + | |
- | And yes, there was a LOT of that. | + | |
- | I counted games of TransEuropa, | + | |
- | But the highlight of Sunday night gaming has really become the board of Escape from Colditz, as various allied POWs tried to get past Nazi guard David Miller much to the delight of everyone involved. | + | |
- | I think Tom Kobrin hiding many of David’s best cards in his pocket may have helped the Allied cause, possibly. | + | |
- | Thanks to all for attending this year’s Dixiecon! | + | Alors que le début officiel de la partie Diplomatie approchait, il était temps pour moi d' |
- | I had a blast, hope everyone else did also. | + | pour les traditionnelles festivités d' |
