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.
