SUMMARY:17th Annual Burning Wreck Barbecue
DESCRIPTION:We are planning to hold our 17th Annual Burning Wreck Barbecue this coming month.  Here are the details:\n\nDate: Saturday\, October 25th\, 2025\n\nLocation: Stance Nixon’s House\, 5349 E. Monlaco Road\, Long Beach.\n\nCost: $10 (Collected at the door.  A reservation is required).  However your 2025 dues must be paid (see below).\n\nFood: The Club will cover the cost of pizzas for lunch and The Habit for dinner.   As always\, we’ll have the Club coolers stocked with complimentary ice cold soda and beer throughout the day.\n \n\nAs for format\, we’re going to repeat what has worked so successfully for the last eight years\, and run a scenario selection process on this e-group. We will pick one scenario for everyone to play. Then on the day of the event\, we’ll pair up randomly. When you arrive\, you will receive a raffle ticket.  If you win your scenario\, you will receive an additional raffle ticket.  When all the games have cleared (which should all be around the same time considering we’re playing the same scenario) we will pull raffle tickets for prizes.  We will have a prize pool of about a half-dozen items.  And by receiving one ticket just for showing up\, even if you lost your scenario\, you could still be a winner!\n \nRemember\, this event is open to SoCalASL members only.  There is a $10 charge for this event and your 2025 dues must be paid in full. (If you attended WCM this year\, your dues are paid\, as it was was included in your admission.)  If you need to\, you can pay your 2025 dues along with your entry fee at the door.\n\nFor those who are unfamiliar with how we select a scenario\, here’s the timeline we’re going to use:\n \nThis is a three step process.  \n \nStep 1) Starting today\, September 12th\, each member can nominate up to 3 scenarios for consideration.  You can make your nominations directly on this e-group\, or to me personally at jfaikens@verizon.net\, by Sunday\, September 28th.  Ideal scenarios should be:\n \na)  Playable in about 6 to 7 hours with a defender set-up done in advance.\n\n\nb) They should be combined arms.\n\nc) They should have a reasonably good balance rating on ROAR.  We’ve found from experience that when a scenario is set up in advance (as our format entails) the defender will have an advantage. This is particularly important if the scenario involves fortifications.  For that reason\, I recommend considering scenarios that are slightly pro-attacker.\n\n\nd) I wouldn’t necessarily limit the nominations to “official” MMP scenarios.  However\, during the voting process\, it’s hard to garner support for a scenario that very few players have a copy of.  If you have an esoteric scenario suggestion\, be prepared to post a copy of the scenario with your nomination.  Along that same line\, I would discourage nominating scenarios that utilize a 3rd party board or overlay\, for the reasons stated above.  \n \nStep 2) Scenario nominations can be submitted between today and Sunday\, September 28th.  I will then compile and post a list of all the scenarios that are nominated on Monday\, September 29th.  I will ask for members to vote for their 3 favorites from the posted list (ranked 1st – 3rd choice.) Those votes can be via this e-group or sent in private to me.  Voting will close on the evening of Sunday\, October 5th.\n \nStep 3) I will tally the votes for the various scenarios\, and announce the 3 top vote-getting scenarios on Monday\, October 6th. Members can then vote for their preference among these 3\, again either via the e-group or privately\, to me\, by ranking the scenarios 1st choice\, 2nd choice and 3rd choice. Voting will close on the evening of October 12th\, and I will announce the winning scenario on Monday\, October 13th.\n \nFollowing long-standing tradition\, we will seed the nomination with the two runner-up scenarios from last year: DB130 Tigers and Flames (German 42/Russian 30) and ASL 84 Round One <3rd Edition> (Poles 13/Germans 14).  Please treat these scenarios as though they have already been nominated.\n\nSo dig through your piles of scenarios and get in your nominations!
