New Shop in Chicagoland Needs Players!

[Valhalla Battle Games]

Greetings Warriors!

My Name is Roy and I've recently opened a gaming shop in Elmhurst IL called Valhalla Battle Games. I invite all Hordes/Warmachine players to come out and play. My stock is modest, but I personally love the PP models and want to keep room for everyone to have a table. I have cracked open a Circle Warpack but have yet to play my first game. I'd love to have a PressGanger come out and Demo/show me and others how to play. We're located at 601 N York Rd in Elmhurst IL 60126. I have reservations about putting the phone # out there for all the interwebs, but if you'd like to contact me, please email me at ValhallaBattleGames@gmail.com or our Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/318502254869904/

Come out and GET YOUR BATTLE ON!

[Loki_TBC]

Hi Roy! Congrats on your new store and welcome to the forums! Don't fear putting your contact info out into the world, you're in business now and you need ever ounce of exposure you can get to keep the doors open and prosper!!

I wish I was still up there to help you out, but never fear, Chicago has some great PGs in the burbs to come work with ya!

[mostholycerebus]

Sorry man, too far. I'll drop by if I'm out there, but Fair Game in downers is closer, and if I'm taking a ride usually hit Games Plus. Not to many game shops out here in the southwest suburbs, sadly.

[Valhalla Battle Games]

That's too bad. I gotten a lot of good compliments from people who would rather play here than FG and being right off the highway certainly does have GP beat. Demo here on the 25th at Noon if anyone would like to come say hi to the locals. Jason is usually a competitive player but has a very relaxed, casual teaching style that I enjoyed a lot when he taught me. Call the shop at 6306070048 if you have questions.

Whats the regular warmachine/hordes game night there? How is the terrain situation?

[PG_seraphsong]

Ill come check you out when I get a chance for sure. I'm in the city proper, though, and don't have a car again until May.

[PG_malfred]

I'll try to make it out. Seems like every single store is
45-60minutes away from me, including valhalla.

[Zombied00d]

Haha! At last living out in the western burbs is slowly starting to pay off.

But seriously, when is your warmahordes game night?

[MarioLopez]

Well, it definitely isn't Monday night. Of course the night I try to stop by is the one day a week they're closed!

[Valhalla Battle Games]

We don't have a dedicated night yet, so throw in your votes. The only night spoken for is friday 'cause there's no escaping Magic. Also, I'm looking for PG to setup demos and tournaments. Mario, sorry we missed you. Our hours can be found at ValhallaBattleGames.com in the calendar section.

[Oilslick]

Tuesday is the current Warmachine/Hordes night. I've been out the last two weeks.

[Valhalla Battle Games]

Indeed, Tuesday has been given the Awesome title of Warmahordes Night. It's had a pretty good turnout so far and, provided it keeps ramping up, I'll be expanding my Privateer stock.

[PG_malfred]

I should be in this Tuesday. Let me know what size battle!

[Soulvayne]

I'm still debating whether I'll be able to show, my weekly beatings from Malfred are taking their toll >.> j/k. To top off the release of Diablo 3, I sprained my ankle in a show of force, that can only be described as man that guy needs to get into better shape, playing football on Sunday.

[Valhalla Battle Games]

So play me. I can only do low points atm, but you'll be sure to trounce me

[PG_malfred]

Yaaaaaassss, play each other.....excellent....

::dances on his puppet strings::

[rolandhadley]

I need some practice - I might come down - what time do folks usually show up?

[PG_malfred]

I tend to get there 4ish.

Soulvayne around there.

If zombied00d is coming it's later as is oilslick.

[rolandhadley]

Hey, looks like I won't be able to come tonight after all, but I will make it down some Tuesday. See you Saturday Felix!

[Valhalla Battle Games]

Hey, good luck to everyone gearing up for Saturday. Be sure to come by Tuesday and let me know how you did!

[PG_malfred]

I placed second somehow.

Jeremy Garcia (he's the guy who was playing trolls
when I left last Tuesday) beat me up and took my
first place coin.

[Valhalla Battle Games]

Just a reminder to come out Tuesday. We have a few beginners in the area that would love some tips from you tournament players. Particularly me, as I'm as newb as it gets.

[Valhalla Battle Games]

Hey, come out on Tuesday and teach me lesson in small points play! Or challenge our more veteran players to larger games and have a real game on your hands!

[Oilslick]

Haven't been out for a few weeks, but I plan to be there next week.

[PG_warlordgarou]

Just checking that people will be there this Tuesday. I'm in Chicago-land for a few days, and it's not too much of a trek down there to play.

[PG_warlordgarou]

Odd double post.

[PG_malfred]

Rich, I'm going to try, but it's kind of a trial what with babysitting and all.

[PG_warlordgarou]

I've tied using gaming as an educational tool - after all, it teaches reading comprehension, math skills, fair play . . . the list goes on and on.

[PG_malfred]

Bringing the niece and nephew to valhalla isn't an option. Too far from their parents.

[Soulvayne]

i'm most likely out tonight, as I have the wife to pick up from work and I'm being dragged to the OakBrook Fireworks display later tonight.

[PG_warlordgarou]

I should be there - I've cleared my schedule of any obligations, anyway

[PG_malfred]

On my way. Should be twenty mins.

[PG_warlordgarou]

Thanks for the games, guys. Had a lot of fun - hope to make it again while I am still in town.

[WarcasterKramer]

Is anyone going to around this Tuesday(July 10) I may be able to show up (probably not until 7-8 at night though).

[Zombied00d]

I should be on hand around 6ish

[WarcasterKramer]

sorry, as it turns out, I won't be able to make it tonight
