Congratulations to all those that took part, well done. Nice medal.

**MoonSylver** · 12-13-2013 06:13

There's a medal to wear with pride. Not many people can say they helped set a world record.

**Willi Von Klugermann** · 12-13-2013 06:52

I would have loved to been part of that.

**crashx** · 12-13-2013 07:19

Well done Italy, BRAVO!!!

**OldGuy59** · 12-13-2013 07:32

Bravo to this! Also to the organizers and players that participated.

What constitutes a "World Record"?

Does a "Round-the-World" game count? Or had it been done before? Do we want more countries/people involved before we consider it a "World Record" worthy event?

Just asking.

I know a Guinness Book rep has to be present to certify any world record attempt. I believe the record in question here is most people playing a board game at one time? There's one for longest session of a game, over something like 54+ hours.

**Boney10** · 12-13-2013 09:11

Congrats to the Italian wing, well done chaps

**Nightbomber** · 12-13-2013 09:37

Well deserved, dear Italian Colleagues!

There is no other boardgame that could be played or was played witch such number of players.

**Attila57** · 12-13-2013 09:49

Thx friends, thx from all the Italian Wing!

**Marechallannes** · 12-13-2013 11:07

Nice medal.

Great Wings of Glory world record!

**Oberst Hajj** · 12-13-2013 12:05

Yes, well done lads!

Ken and I looked into having Guinness Book verify a record game for us at Origins one year. They don't actually have a category that we fit into and would have to go into the tourney section or something like that. So we would be competing against multiday events from the likes of 40k and such.

The record our Italian brothers set was for the largest game of Wings of War/Glory. The previous record was 92 I think? Anyways, the record is only official so far as Ares and the Aerodrome are concerned.

**csadn** · 12-13-2013 12:37

Is there a record for "shortest _WoG_ game"? I think I may have set it the one time I played WW2 with The SO (three moves, and the first fire did 22 points of damage)....

**Naharaht** · 12-13-2013 13:34

Congratulations to all the pilots, who took part.

**7eat51** · 12-13-2013 15:48

I'm thinking at Origins, we should try for the World Record Twister game.

OK, Eric. I'm officially taking you off the bottle for a month. Really. Gamers (of all ages) and Twister! I'm going to have that image in my brain for the rest of the day!

Well done to the Italian wing on their achievement

**flash** · 12-14-2013 02:02

Well deserved bling, what an achievement

I agree with Karl, the sight of so many experienced (and I don't mean game wise) WoG players at Twisted is a bit overwhelming!!! 7 o'clock in the morning here and I'm ready to crawl into a bottle myself to loose the image!!!

**BobP** · 12-14-2013 10:39

Congratulations of setting a record and your new well deserved medal that all will receive.

**fast.git** · 12-14-2013 11:29

Congratulations!

I wonder how many we could get for Origins?

**Attila57** · 12-14-2013 11:53

I think the record of Florence was important because it broke down the barrier of 100 participants.
I am sure that in the future we will see new records with a number of participants more numerous (events like international exhibitions dedicated to games or as Origins)

And we'll work in Italy to defend it

**BobP** · 12-14-2013 12:19

I have seen the chaos in a game with just 12 people so I can't think what 100 people would be like.
