A most busy and fun day! Lots to do and see and met up with old and new friends.
Started the day with playing in Jim Purky's massive game of the attack on Khartoum. As based on the movie! It was massive (3 tables) , it was spectacular (54mm)and it was great fun. Here are a couple pictures but to due justice I am going to do a separate post on it. Stay tuned.
In the dealers area it was outstanding to actual see and talk with the people you have been buying stuff from over the years. One really nice thing was the demo games rule writers put on to teach you their new rule sets.
I was especially happy to met Joerg Bender from "Things From The Basement." He makes the wonderful MDF buildings you see on my table.
Games! Lots of games and spread out over three floors. All scales and all types. Here are a few pictures.

Looks great! I recognize at least one fellow in one photo. The Gettysburg battlefield looks amazing. Was it being played in 2mm?
ReplyDeleteYes it was in 2mm. And amazing details too!
DeleteWow great stuff Mark, you are a very lucky man to have the opportunity to attend such an awesome function! That 54mm Sudan game is amazing and I look forward to your report....I visit Jims blog every now and then and his 54mm Sudan collection truly is amazing! I saw one post where he was doing a trial run in preparation for Historicon in a friends basement....there were something like six HUGE tables involved....the basement looked to be the size of a small warehouse!
ReplyDeleteI also was following the progress. To see the entire thing in real life was amazing. What a labor of love.
