Had I still been closer …
But my distance from the BoW HQ aside, I can only recommend the bootcamps – never mind the toys you get, it is the weekend you go for. The toys are just a brucy bonus
Cant wait, look like its going to be a lot of fun 🙂
Also if there ever was a picture due an impromptu caption competition that one of Ronnie should be at the top of the list!
“Having lost his glasses again, everything looked like a tanuki to @warzan“
I can too attest that the bootcamps are fun and the people are the best part. @rasmus it wouldn’t be a boot camp without you!
BoW Bootcamps are a blast! to bad I can’t make it, I have to take care of my new born. well i wish everyone who is attending a great time, will follow the live blog. 😀
Yep totally going to be a blast:-)
I wish I could join you Guys, but my wife set set to give birth on the 14. nov
Gutted! It’s my other half’s birthday or I’d have been all over this! What do you reckon the chances of convincing her to come with me are…? 😉
Why don’t you ask, we still have a double room.
And the game it’self is easy enough that I’m sure she will have no issues with it 🙂
Aaaaannnnnd… That went down like a lead balloon! Ah well, maybe next time!
Maybe if i get her a spa day, I can find a quiet corner to watch the live blog! 😉
My biggest complaint with the tables is that, for that to be mid west amwrica, the feilds are too small. Other than that, looking forward to this.
It’s quite a deliberate technique were using called ‘elasticity’ where we deliberately shrink stuff down to pull terrain features closer together to make for a more interesting layout that has more to play around.
If we were going for realism, the whole venue would be a single field with a single house and perhaps one or two cows were lucky enough to wander in 😉
Also utilizes another good wargamer habit, Reduce, Recycle & Reuse 🙂 – Saving us some time and resources 😉
sounds great, have fun everyone you luck people.
I’ve been waiting so long for a bootcamp that I could attend…and this is the most exciting one yet! Alas… my dad turns 60 that weekend and has a trip away planned… oh cruel fates!
In all seriousness… move it back a week…. I mean, enjoy all you lucky people!
Wow, you guys got that studio cleaned up fast. Great work! 😀 😀 😀
I’m sorry that I mistook rural for suburban in my last Vlog comment, though it did make my weekend to get mentioned on the Backstage. Then, here’s some Americana that you could zombify: Green Acres with a zombie pig named Arnold, Andy Griffith with Andy and Barnie substituted for Rick and Shane, Petticoat Junction with the 3 zombie daughters swimming in the water tower, Dukes of Hazard with a rust bucket (read: weathered) Robert E. Lee. Or you could do a parody of your favorite, My Dad’s Zombie Army.
Awesome stuff mate 🙂
Quick question @warzan. How do the companies themselves see these boot camps? Are they just a bit of fun and promotion for them or do they really take notes and get serious. For example, does Mantic look at the fact that Dropfleet sold out before them as a sign of a need for more advertising or promotion? Do the companies tend to ask a lot of questions of attendees for feedback, or do they already have their programs in place? Can a boot camp not going as a company expected, for whatever reason, influence a companies direction or is it… Read more »
It’s entirely down to each company – but everyone so far really engage with the process and take on board those early experiences the attendees have and do suck up the feedback. Now you are asking questions that would have more relevance further down the line (about them not going as expected etc) remember we’ve only done a handfull and only plan on doing a couple a year (probably around the winter time) As regards to one type of Bootcamp filling up quicker than another, the direct comparisons are a little more tricky to make, but we have seen some… Read more »
@spaderfish – one factor may be that a lot of the people (like myself) who would like to come to a bootcamp may have already backed the Kickstarter, and although I’m sure the weekend will be amazing, it does make me think twice to get all the same stuff again. I would have loved to have come to the Dropfleet Commander one too, but alas it sold out very quickly indeed. I backed that Kickstarter too, but picking up an additional fleet at the bootcamp or expanding one I’ve already got wouldn’t have bothered me at all! I wonder if… Read more »
gutted i cant make it. fingers crossed for next year 🙂
Looks like we are coming over too!!! 🙂
Cool. Saw deltagamegirl22 flying by with a camera busy at Salute this year and didn’t want to interupt just to say hello. Be cool to say hello and thank you for all the content.
Just a their thought…… perhaps if you are going for the true zombie vibe…..you shouldn’t have the hangover breckfasts…..
I got my ticket.
Making travel plans.
Can’t wait for November to come.
Looking forward to my first boot camp. Been swatting up on the difference between the comic book series and the TV series.
BoW erring on the side of awesome as always.
@Warren, Brother I would love to go to this bootcamp with my wifey since we both want to meet you guys and TWD is one of our favorites plus she’s from Scottish descend.
But my PTSD doesn’t let me get on planes or anything enclosed for long times.
I really wish we could go, you guys are amazing and I feel that we are going to be missing something big.
Maybe next time brother.
🙁

I’m sure the Walking dead could use a similar zombified themed dice tower thingy for extra creepiness …
