The Gormley's both father and son are terrific. Both Guy's helped make our convention (Williamburg Muster and Guns of August)more family-oriented by drawing youngster (new blood) to play miniatures.

Thanks Justin!

I saw the Chapultepec listing and was very interested but just couldn't sign up for a 6 hour game. I'll be interested to stop by and check out the terrain and figs, as I've walked the battle site in Mex City twice.

Bob McCaskill's Clapps Mill game is a great one. He's been playing and running C&GII games for over a decade now and the miniatures (almost all Perry's) and terrain are fantastic. He also happens to be my father. :)

The Chapultepec game probably wont take the full 6 hours. I had to send in my info before we had play tested the scenario and I built the time based on the number of units. When we play tested it, we fought to an historical conclusion in a little over 4 hours.

Just a reminder that pre-registration by mail for Historicon closes on July 2nd. According to the website, on line pre-registration will close on July 5th.

Many of the Carnage and Glory games are sold out, but there are still some spaces left.

I'm signed up for Raid 1778. Would have liked to do more but there are just too many other games out there. Looking forward to this one, though.

Now that the convention is over, how were the Carnage and Glory games at Historicon?

If you have any pictures to share, now is the time.

Thanks in advance.
