Pacificon Game Expo convention is my local con that I've been attending for at least 2 decades. A great convention where the miniatures games are smoothly ran. Kudos to the staff!
I ran four Wooden Wars battles during the convention. Each was well attended, and drew a crowd of spectators who would cheer, laugh and in general encourage the players. Three of the battles centered around Lay Hay- Block and had a capture the flag objective with a secondary objective to capture the building in the middle. The fourth was a revisiting of that famous Block-odino redoubt battle of 1812.
I am always amazed and happy how quickly everyone grasps the rules, and then starts using tactics and maneuvers, not just firing, to play the game. When 8 year olds are yelling for their comrades to "form square!", you know you have done something right.

Thomas, Are you going to be selling these figures? I have a 3yr old grandson and 5yr old granddaughter whom I want to introduce to gameing. Al |

He is indeed planning to. Google Wooden Wars Kickstarter to see his kickstarter campaign. My five year old loved painting his sample figure and we are both eagerly looking forward to playing. |

A Twiningham beat me to the charge! Please look to my kickstarter, but yes, the plan is to sell them.
cheers!
