Cold Wars 2019: saturday

The Cold Wars dealers area on Saturday.  There were a couple of long time exhibitors not attending this year (Eureka miniatures USA and Baggage train).  But a couple new I had not heard of .  Impudent Mortals has outstanding MDF buildings at very reasonable prices.  Perfect for North American.  They have outstanding instructions on how to put them together through their web sites.  Highly recommended as Hal would say.  Here is a link to his site: https://www.impudentmortal.com

An interesting American Civil War Game.  Looked like Brother vs Brother type game.  But I liked the nice house in the center.  I liked it so much I found the Charlie FoxTrot both and bought one!

Very interesting terrain for a Napoleonic battle.  Showed what you could do with very tiny miniatures.  I believe these were 10mm.

A very clever Wings of Glory game with Zeppelins!  Looked like a great game and everyone was laughing and having fun.  Outstanding!  The airships were models of the USS Akron and Macon suitably altered.  The grandmaster was great fun to talk with and very enthusiastic.

Very clever game with outstanding terrain.  Here the Union army could capture and destroy the CSA Tennessee.  Outstanding iron  clad ship models. Again a fun game where players and host looked like they were having great fun.

One of my favorite looking games .  Howard Whitehouse ran this toy soldier game.  The figures looked like they   came  out of those comic book adds we all saw in our youth.  Great old school terrain .I think the Rules used were his Gentleman at war rules.  I want to try this out!

One event I attended in Friday and Saturday were talks by Frank Chadwick and Glenn Kidd about game design.  These were incredibly interesting talks in his to write rules and how to translate your research into playable rules.  Both men were super knowledgeable.  A nugget I got from this was so not let the small details of research take over your game.  What level of game do you want?  Again, both men were outstanding.
