Everyone that played said they had a good time, even those player who comanded troops that where treated harshly by the opponent. The game ended on time with a fairly certain conclusion. This is good proof of the design that Jim and Bill used. We even had a father and son team playing in the game! This tends to make me believe our hobby is not as grey as we allow ourselves to believe. <BR/><BR/>The entire convention was filled with wonderful eye candy. I picked up several ideas lokking at different table designs around the convention. <BR/><BR/>RandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-73643473499405151682008-04-09T18:27:00.000-05:002008-04-09T18:27:00.000-05:00There is much to say but each photo is equivalent ...There is much to say but each photo is equivalent as the saying goes to 1,000 words. Here are some small extras:<BR/>-----------<BR/>1. At the end of Day 2 of 3 attendance was in the mid 800s.<BR/>~~<BR/>2. One clever thing of many about the Charge of The Light Brigade game was the increasing speed allowed for British cavalry. Turn 1 4D6 = inches, Turn 2 5D6 = Inches and so forth. By the time I crashed into the Russians I was up to nine dice and I think a 32" move. I only needed a couple of inches to hit after having raced down about 14' of table to get to the target being shot at on the way by Russian cannons on the hillside flanks.<BR/>~~<BR/>3. The BAR game kept people busy and happy. Jim set up a very appealing table and well, you see the rest.<BR/>~~<BR/>4. Next stop: Historicon and three games there. <BR/>-----<BR/>Votre Serviteur,<BR/>BilGalliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258909398832285314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-12929046082429907272008-04-09T05:01:00.000-05:002008-04-09T05:01:00.000-05:00Thanks for a very enjoyable report.The S&S 40mm SY...Thanks for a very enjoyable report.<BR/><BR/>The S&S 40mm SYW Austrians look dangerously and surprisingly attractive, but my eye is drawn most of all to the pictures of the BAR game, of course, of a style which I never tire of seeing - wonderful.<BR/><BR/>Steve GillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-83556625969448032612008-04-08T17:28:00.000-05:002008-04-08T17:28:00.000-05:00Thats the best report on a US convention I have se...Thats the best report on a US convention I have seen.
