Now that 3.0 is REALLY on its way, I figured it would be fun to start a thread where we can brainstorm and trade notes on planning events for our local clubs and stores (this is distinct from the Mega Thread, which is focused on news and announcements from WC about game releases).
So, I think in the short term, there is going to be a fair bit of demo work to be done; having the game out on a table, showing folks how the rules work, etc. Just getting the game out there and in front of people. This is something that should be easily accomplished with just the contents of the 2-player set, but those of us with older models will have the opportunity to use them for increased visual interest.
As more ships and fleets become available, the door will open for leagues, tournaments, and event games. In general I'm thinking this stage will be better off being done later in 2021, when (hopefully) there will be 4-6 fleets in circulation and COVID will (also hopefully) be under control.
Me personally, I'm looking to start demos in my local area once I get my box set and have it looking presentable, and as the COVID restrictions I'm under are relaxed. As things sit right now, I'm guessing that is going to be around February or March.
