Historical part II

My Last game Friday. They had one too many players. The GM let me run the locals. I had groups jumping on the crushed spaceship, stealing stuff. A group delaying contractors for whiskey and smokes. Groups randomly attacking each other and the contractors. In the end the dictator got skinned by the predators, we stole the exploding thing, selling it to a group of contractors who then blow up, we stole a spear predator thingy.

HistoriCon 2018 part I

        The host is being fixed up rapidly. The parking lots were a mess as with the main entrances. None of which had people parking across the street. I could always find a spot. My early morning arrival time got spots in the shade and close each day.

         The vendor hall is still down the hill. The way there is still under construction.

         The food stations were down from 3 to 1. The bar was not serving food. The lines for lunch were a mile long. The food selection was shit, burgers, beans, chicken fingers. They used to have great catered food. Some one fucked that up.

         I would say attendance is down again. There were fewer hosted games. Many empty gaming tables. If it was not for the MechaniCon group doing SciFy and all the tournaments, HMGS' summer event would be dead!
         If you failed to preregister, there were very few available games on the board. Available gaming tickets about equaled canceled games. Saturday saw both morning and noon games for me canceled.

         Moving back to the Host fucked them royal! It should have stayed south of DC. Never did I think I would say that. The trip down 95 to Fredricksburg was a shit show! It should never ever returned to the Host. People hate the host. I would guess next year's event in downtown Lancaster is going to be the death blow.

 Miles had a great table.

 Some of the regular gaming groups were kicking about.

 Miniature building authority's table.

 I got to play on it on Friday.

One of the great tables

Same room, same group! They must have a terrain guy.

 My first Friday game, was a run from the Zombies. The dude did not know the rules. The rules changed and he would ask another dude what the rules actually were. The zombies could not hurt you and you killed them just by having a turn.

Warmaster Weekend

Back from HistroiCon. So much to do so little time. The convention AAR will be the next post. I got a training game in with Kal. Poor Kal suffered teaching me the Warmaster way.

We played the fantasy ver. I bought an Undead army, painted, off the Facebook group.  All my mates play so off the bridge I went. They are useless little bastards, but there is a shit ton of them. 

 Just giant block of bones rolling on Kal's Dark Elves.

 Learned from my 1st game against Karl to grab the hill and sit.

 Pretty sure we kicked up the rules for buildings and fortifications

That lone group failed to the very last turn.

NEAT 2018

NEAT 2018.

         It was a 5 hour drive that turned into 8. Lucky me, there was a store right off the exit that had cold Bud and scotch for 50. I was afraid the Time Machine would be closed. It wasn't, but all my mates left. So I put their armies on Ebay, pounded 4 beers.

        I got a game of Warmaster in. The magic version. Karl spotted me an army, the rat dudes. And then I got to play Karl, Dave's ancient Eldar dudes. Karl smoked me.

One of the other Warmaster games.

That was Friday night. Off to the Holiday Inn. Up Saturday for the Epic Tourney.

The tables, most of them. iPhone 6 battery disease worked my photo taking.

My list:

 I was the ass with the Warlord. I went 1-2. It showed I had no practice with the list. Where to drop must be practiced!

 Dino even spotted me a tasty stick. Thanks man!

All that hard work is now a mess as I took 70% of the Epic terrain to NEAT.
