Weeeeeeeee! @oriskany what happened to your voice? oO
That’s my normal voice. Medical condition. Thanks for the comment!
Never noticed that on the streams. Maybe the webcam/mic distortion tricked me. 🙂
Pure testosterone buddy ?
That’s what SHE said. 😀
WOO Gerry, Justin and Jim love it!
Moe, Larry, Currie! 🙂
Maybe next year I can plan and get there. Looks like a blast.
The convention is great @ghent99 ! There are four complete floors of content going on, we’ll be hard pressed to cover it all. We do have three days though, so please stick with us!
full tank of gas…half a pack of cigarettes…and 2 brothers…easily done
We’ll be tryin’. 🙂
Looking forward to watching these videos over the weekend.
Yeah, we’re rolling out content AT LEAST through Saturday, probably early Sunday as well.
@avernos @oriskany @dignity
I know it’s probably too much effort but would it be possible to list the rules the various games are using in the descriptions?
Cheers
We’re trying to mention the name of the system, we’ll try to make a point of it.
Thanks Jim as you know yourself there are so many rulset out there it’s nice to know what people are using
All photo galleries I submit to Justin are now headed with the game system.
Looking forward to any jungle warfare related games, particularly Vietnam. Although my Empress Marines are Hue based and urban warfare would be more appropriate..
It is only a question of time until we get grunts for the jungle by all accounts ?
Wish I could be there but hey, Mr Taxman wants his money end of the month..
I have some Burma / Malaya photos that are submitted and in the rotation for publish.
Great job guys
Thanks! 🙂
Great con glad we made it again this year.
Hope to see you around! 😀
Great job as always OTT!
I was really trying hard to make it this year to Historicon, but work intervened and sunk my plans. It would have been grand to play as many games as possible in the four-day span, not to mention meeting the OTT crew in person.
Too bad, too … I have found a complete set of Panzer Leader in the original box down in “Wally’s Basement!”
Brilliant coverage guys, really enjoyed this.
Is it possible to get some coverage of any Dux Britanniarum games (too fat lardies) Please ??
Added to the list!
Ah man! That’s the way it works for me…….
Still I’m enjoying the coverage that OTT is gathering for those of us that could not make it.
Seriously, @recon63 – @avernos and I both looked for it, we honestly did not see it.
@oriskany & @avernos, no worries, thanks for looking anyway, much appreciated. Loved all the coverage done I could not have asked for anything more!! ;D
Thanks! It was fun to do! 🙂
Stop by and say hi to bud blast markers and the last stand boatyard
Hope you guys are having a great time on this side of the pond.
I keep waiting for an A-Team inspired drugged milk incident leading to Warren waking up in the USA with no idea how he got there (or how he’ll get home)…..
