The Conference of Wargamers took place at Knuston Hall last weekend, and I have written an illustrated report about what I saw and did at COW2014. If you are interested, have a look here = link Read and enjoy! |

Excellent write up Bob. A good weekend that I shamefully missed! You were blessed with good weather too. martin |

Great stuff … Have a look at my COW 2014 report it scarcely overlaps with Bob's weekend, which may give you an idea of the diversity of WD's annual Conference (and I can already see there are a number of great sessions neither of us went to …) .. Phil

Absolutely brilliant. Haven't read all of the reports but will do so when I have more free time. That Kamikaze game on the Friday evening looked great. I don't suppose you kept any examples of the Haikus you could share with us or were they really terrible ? |

All the haikus were collected and will be published in The Nugget in due course. |

Quality stuff. My last attendance was in 1983, but CoW still holds a special place in my wargaming heart. I should really get off my lazy arse and go again! |

Well I looked up Haiku on wiki with the idea of doing my version of one in honour of your Kamikaze game. However, it proved too tricky for my currently tired brain to get my head round (its been a long and stressful day) so kudos to everyone who produced one. Nice to see people having fun with wargaming, willing to try something different and not being hide-bound by the accepted way of doing things or traditional view of how battles were fought. Look forward to reading all your reports. Cheers |

Aubrey, I think that you understand exactly what COW is all about! |

There is no event that can't be improved by shouting BANZAI, repeatedly and at high volume. |
