Here are the first two show stoppers at Nashcon™. My friends Bob Duncan and David Raybin are putting on their games on Friday. Local boys both. It's a good idea for the initial games to be put on by folks who dwell round Nashville so the incoming players can get right into the fray and set up their games later in the weekend. So here you go: both games have been played before and are huge crowd pleasers. But as a Nashcon first they will be played back to back for those in their water mood.
When: Memorial Day Weekend, 2016
May 27-29
Where: Franklin Marriott Cool Springs
700 Cool Springs Blvd.
Franklin, Tennessee 37067 AND FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN, Here are photos from last year:

AND the year before that: TMP link Friday afternoon.
Bob Duncan's Gunboat Diplomacy! Over a dozen 28 mm highly detailed warships allied with European and native contingents seek dominance in coastal waters. The era is late nineteenth century with coal fired gunboats armed with shells and torpedoes. There are hostiles in the water and on the land calculated to give m'Lord the fright. Duncan's Gunboat Diplomacy focuses on the joys of gameplay instead of the nitpick of a zillion calculations. This is heart pounding wargaming at its best. The board is 24 feet so as to accommodate the fleets. Room for a dozen players. Friday evening
David Raybin's Barnacle Bill: a Pirates Life for Me. This is the Rhea Baskette Memorial Game to honour the greatest wargaming pirate of them all. Played on the same 24-foot board and using the same rule system as the just-completed Gunboat Diplomacy. We turn back time several hundred years to the Golden Age of Piracy. Over a dozen fully rigged man o' war in 28mm go at it to see which Pirate King will rule the waves. Costumes not required but first choice of ships goes to those appropriately garbed. Room for a dozen players. Rules available on-line:
