Come and enjoy a superb day of gaming, just of I-95 in Harford Country, MD.

Information, schedule, and directions can be found at link

Three more GMs have committed to running games in the last two days. I haven't even had time to add these to the even list. Games begin at 9:00 AM and run all day.

Thanks to all the HAWKS for a Great Barrage 2012. I love the new venue, weather was perfect for the drive, and Games were great Visigoths vs Byzantines and Woodland Indians vs Settlers/Militia.

Thanks again, look forward to next year!!!!!!

I had a great time! Played a super 28mm Force on Force in Afghanistan, and picked up some goodies at flea market, too!

Thank you folks so much for the convention. Was my first time and the convention space was great (good lighting, large space, bathrooms were easy to access, parking was easy).

Played in Chris Palmer's demo of "Look Sarge, No Charts" and his skill at teaching the game to me was superb. Great gentleman (Dan) who played the Germans in the demo. I had the rules, but had never played them so that will be changing! Thanks again Chris.

Played in the SYW Battle of Mehr run by Tim (Tilson?) and two other gents. Very nice guys, fun game, our white coated French slogged across the field and duked it out with the Hanoverians. It was great to have more experience with the Black Powder rules, especially as I was confused with the "Follow me" order approach. Thanks for the game.

Bought two prints for the office which will go very well and cleaned out Steve from Age of Glory with his remaining AWI figs and picked up some of the new G4 buildings (and now that Steve is carrying Crusader, time to look at the SYW again).

It was a great time, and since the location is right before the bridge (assuming one comes from I-95 south), the only toll is McHenry which was $3.00 USD. Thanks folks for not being on the other side of the river (that is a hefty toll)!

Also, thanks for having the drinks and snacks. That was an added bonus.

Hope to attend again next year and the venue was very good indeed.

Thanks for the kind words about Barrage. The HAWKs were quite pleased with the outcome.

I've posted pictures of the event on my Web page:

"Two nights before Barrage, I still had people signing up to run games. In fact, I was worried about not having enough tables. This GASLIGHT War of the Worlds game was one of those last-minute additions. I think this was the first time these guys had run GASLIGHT at a convention, but by all accounts it was hugely successful."

Yes it was our first time running a game at any con. But we had fun doing it and we learned a few things of what we need to do next time. Thank you for getting us is at last minute. And thanks Bill Aka "Fallen Scholar" for learning the rules, I hate rules adn would rather paint…lol.
