"GMs: What Games Did You Send In For Historicon This Year?" Topic

Why wait for the PEL to come out? Consider this a preview of coming attractions.

It's also an opportunity for Clubs and other groups to highlight their games.

I look forward to your responses.

WNPG is short members this year, so only two games.

Your Hobby Place in Martinsburg WV is sponsoring three games at Historicon. The first two are the skirmishes leading up to Guilford Courthouse. They will run Friday 2pm-6pm and 6pm-10pm and will use the Musket & Tomahawks ruleset. Then on Saturday at 4pm(?) will be the actual battle of Guilford Courthouse using the Black Powder ruleset. All are in 28mm.

Thursday, Battle of New Tamia – using home rules, this game was inspired by the WH 40K universe and my recent vehicle conversions.

Sunday, there is Mayday from Ceres Station – a not-so-serious game using a mod of Chain Reaction 3.0 and is a sequel to the scenario I ran last year.

Yes, I know they aren't historical--but should be fun anyway.

Jimmy and ACWBill;
No luck for me coming to H-Con this year. Sorry. I was hoping to run Stoney Creek from the War of 1812 and maybe a couple of other 1812 themed games.

Best of luck to your games, maybe I can do a drive-by like last year.

Since its withdrawal from Moscow during the Russian winter offensive of 1941-42, German Army Group Center had remained in its positions between the Pripyat marshes and the Dvina River. It formed a large bulge, projecting some 250 miles eastwards and at Orsha and Mogilev, still remained on the eastern bank of the Dnepr River. For its major offensive operation of the summer, the Russians had assembled four Fronts to reduce the bulge and destroy Army Group Center and push the frontline west of the Berzina. And in a deliberate twist of irony, Stalin set the start date of the offensive on June 22, the 3rd Anniversary of the NAZI invasion. The outcome would be the most destructive German defeat since Stalingrad.

Two games…Normandy in 60mm..mostly King and Country figs…airborne…vehicles…a cozy French village (but a bit large)…Friday night and Saturday morning….5 hours…8 folks but probably can take a couple more…Final Combat rule system.

Great list, Duncan. Thanks for sharing it with us. Another outstanding effort by the HAWKS. If past numbers are any guide, the HAWKS may provide ten percent (or more) of all the games at Historicon.

Bogdanwaz, I loved the Les Miz game. All you need is the soundtrack from the movie playing in the background while the game is in progress.

Here's a rough summary of what has been submitted so far, including a few other games I know about from GMs who have not posted their events here:

19 Fantasy/Science Fiction
14 ACW
14 WW2
11 NAP
5 Ancients
4 AWI
3 SYW
3 InterWar
3 Soccer
2 War of 1812
2 Pirates
2 Alamo
2 Age of Rifles
2 Modern
1 Dark Ages
1 Renaissance
1 Old West
1 WW1

Not a bad list, so far.

But where are the Gnomes?

Anybody else want to post something before the PEL comes out?

Obviously, there should be more games out there.

If not, Historicon will be a little light in the games department.

We'll see.

10mm Battery Wagner,SC
land and sea assault (house rules) ACW
Historicon will fall on near the 150th anniversary of the battle.

Age of Eagles will sponsor three games as follows (and BTW, check us out on Facebook at facebook.com/ageofeagles). We are scheduled to be set up inside the Carnage and Glory Room on the same table, all three games.

Title: Lions of the North – Gadebusch 1712
Description: The last battle of the Great Northern War explodes as pistol packing Saxon Kurassiers and red coated Danes collide with pike toting Swedes in a contest to control the strategic fortress of Stralsund. The Danes and Saxons have yet to win this battle, so we need players who like a challenge. Are you up for it? If so join the campaign and have more fun than a boat load of siege mortars.
