Here is a thread on Aussie WIFCON 2012

According to the routeplanner it's 500 kilometers and it takes 4 hours and 45 minutes aproxx.

You don't have to pass a lot of major cities, so normally, you won't get stuck in traffic.


I know that you aren't in this years Order of Battle but ...

... will you come around like you did before?

It was nice to have you there and to have your help to interpret the rules...

Centuur,

It is to far away for just a short trip. So it is not doable.

But I do long to be there.

Something that could cheer me up as the Autumn arrives is pictures from the different games. Reports as well would be a bonus. But stand alone pictures would be truly awesome.

However, it's worth it, the guys are nice, the countryside is gorgeous, the accommodation reasonably comfortable and prices right. And there is WIF. If you are not playing it could be possible too to make a tour around, it's the Grimm Brothers land and it's beautiful, this is something I need to do someday.

And plane tickets, if bought in advance are really cheap, I bought mine one month ago (return ticket) for 84.

While I'd prefer to go to the USA WifCon (closer and cheaper) my wife tells me that if I'm going to a Con, it'll be EuroWiFCon because then she can do the Fairy Tale Road tour.

As for cheaper... the plane would be more expensive to Germany than inside America but the hotel and Con registration is much more expensive in the Wifcon IIRW.

Indeed.

But it would be fun if someone there had the time to take a few pictures and post them here.

Status: offline 		You mean different form those? I will be busy playing but I wouldn't mind making some when I stop and rest, but don't know what else I could photograph apart from what you see in those photos at eurowif.de:

For example:

Participants:



One of the tables:



A general though incomplete panoramic:



A close-up



Another close-up:



The bar/ break room / lunch place (it's held in a Shooting range Club):



Lile 20 of this kind.

However don't expect too many nor too good (I am not taking my camera they will be mobile phone ones).
