All-
We had a great pair of games at Historicon focused on Mission 250 to Berlin. We had a LOT of laughs and every single player was really into their mission. We played two games, one focused on the flight to Berlin and the second focused on the way home.
Final mission score (for both scenarios) was
Germany:143 VP [winner]
USA: 104 VP
Total of 105 B-17s and B-24s started the games with total of 18 B-17/24s shot down (17% losses).
We managed to put 105 B-17s and B-24s on two 6x8 boards – it was our biggest game ever and quite a game. We will (eventually) do this one again as it was such a blast.
We felt the most fun and important part was seeing many of our close friends (and CY6 "family members") all playing in the same big game.
I am sure folks will post pictures on the CY6 Yahoo group or on TMP.
Here are the results:
