@Avernos Well it is like trying to give a hangover to a mobile Black Hole.
Your more likely to get a history overload

Really enjoying the coverage so far, it’s a major show that just doesn’t seem to get much coverage these days. Good to see the old green felt still in use, and many gamers putting on the games. For those that have never been to a US “historical” wargames show the main feature is participation games put on by the attendees. You have to book a table and it’s quite fierce on the time constraints. For many gamers who are in contact via the internet it sometimes provides the single time of the year they might meet up to play a… Read more »

Well done chaps. Really good day one

I had already mentioned it but like to see the Clash of Spears demo and maybe the 10mm Battlrgroup game

Had a quick look through the list of games and a look at any of the naval or air games would be good

We did get the Clash of Spears, twice actually … and a big slice of the Naval games in multiple systems and air battles in Aerodrome as well.

Thanks very much! We’re trying to get a taste of all the “sub-genres.”

Thanks very much @brucelea … we admittedly had a rough start on the first day, didn’t really hit our stride until 10:00- but once we got cooking we fell into a rhythm. One thing we definitely didn’t plan right was the PHYSICAL SIZE of the convention. So we went through the program and picked everything we wanted to do based on TIME. Not realizing some of these games would be on different floors, etc. Oh, and then the convention changed many of the times and tables anyway … So we just started doing it geographically. Hit Heritage Hall … then… Read more »

I made my saving throw. Two aspirin and a glass of water before bed beats it every time.

Think watching this is possibly better than being there, When I did do Historicon, only did one day (1st time in U.S.and bad planning) didnt see half you lot did in one day apart from traders.
