Dan, It was really awesome that you and Bill drove 27 hrs each way to game and visit with us!!! We really appreciate your efforts. Our club was the beneficiary of your visit, with the pleasure of your company and with the local boys aquiring some new amazing hand made ships by you and some great hand made terrain by Bill. Thank you brother.
Those were some great battles and big fun. Dr. Jones, Capt. Lucas, Frank, and Colonel Bill all ran some great games. It would've been awesome if the Mad Guru could've been there too! Your game was the highlight for me with your great terrain and fantastic boats coupled with your Gunboat & Dhow rules variant for TSATF despite getting wiped out again! At least my Brits put a hurtin on the Turks and Germans I faced in Capt. Lucas' game.
It's true, I did loose my entire command in "The Mine" game, and I mean my entire command, to the last man! But it wasn't for a lack of scouts, it was due to abysmal dice rolling. I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with my rifles or my MG. At least it didn't jam. When the natives charged in Merc "the cooler" hit me hard but his native comrade had me beat BAD. I lost every melee but one even with being in close order. Apparently the natives with spears were plus one in melee and won ties! I was doomed….lol. But I still had big fun rolling dice and hanging with my friends.
I look forward to your reports from the rest of the battles as well Dan.
The Larry Brom Memorial TSATF gaming weekend was very well attended with every game being bursting to capacity and then some. We even had Jay Stribling and Mark Stevens come down from Jackson MI to join us just for this. We played a different TSATF or variant game every session of the con on the same table through out the weekend starting Thursday night and ending Sunday morning.
The HMGS South BOD and volunteers did another amazing job of running a fantastic con! Thank you HMGS South.
