I wanted the official community to see this. in my area of Lacrosse WI we are having a local convention. it is august 25-27. on the 26 my friend Paul Boisen is hosting an X-wing miniatures tournament. now I know this is really close to Gen-Con, so we may not have the showing that we want. I am hoping to help attract people that love the game, want to go to some sort of convention, didn't have the time or money to go to GenCon and who love x wing miniatures enough to want to attend an maybe help us make this event a decent sized one. there will be a large prize pool. some store championship prizes will be made available, plus some custom prizes. last years top prize was a custom made lightsaber I built myself. we have had lots of fun in the past 2 years doing this event it becomes more fun as its popularity grows. please tell your friends or anyone near us about this event. Lacrosse is about 2 1/2 hours by car from Minneapolis MN. we all will look forward to seeing you.

you can contact my friend or myself on facebook. my name on facebook is Tim Christ.

When is the x-wing tournament? I'll share it with my group in Dubuque.

I believe it will start around 11am on Saturday the 26th

I know for sure its the 26th, its just the time im a little fuzzy on, but if you show early you can check out the other game venues and have plenty of time to get a spot.

well unfortunately no one showed for the event. we tried to hold it again on sunday. again no one showed. it didn't happen cause one of our local stores held a store championship on the same day as our tournament. the convention organizer was pissed cause he dumped 130 dollars into making acrylic fen rau and mangler cannon cards for the top prizes. we also had leftover store champ prizes we were putting up. im very salty over this cause I wasted a total of 13 hours of my time at a weekend convention when I could have been doing something else. I did have fun at the convention, but it was a very sad day for xwing

I kind of wish I had seen this in time. It's close enough I might have made it.

Too bad about all the scheduling conflicts around the event. I know well the struggle of setting something up on a day that doesn't conflict with other events.

Don't give up though! Old Wisconsin needs more x wing!
