etotheipi,
Thanks very much for running those games. That was my youngest son who provided Godzilla with his 'rave ring' headwear. The last picture in your article is us! He had a great time and rubbed his brother's face in the fact that he missed the Godzilla game, (his older brother was home asleep after spending Friday night at a lock-in at church). One of the things I love about Williamsburg Muster/Guns of August is people like you putting on these fun, kid friendly games. I ran The Alamo Friday night with the same thing in mind. Thanks again. Out of curiosity, are you local? |

Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it. One of the things I like about running QILS games is that the rules fall out pretty easily, and players focus back on tactics. Especially for kids, being able to focus on "what do I want to do" instead of "how do I do it" helps a lot. I had a great time moderating between your kid and the other one he played. It was also cool that we had two adults playing the "same game" right next to us, getting a different type of engagement out of it. |

It was certainly fun! And I think the boys had as much or more fun than the adults next to us. |

Just came across this while surfing TMP.
Man its Great to see 'intro' games where dads and sons OR daughters can spend time together. A possible 'double win' for everyone.
Our hobby may get a future 'wargamer', and a dad and his kid(s) have fun together. As to the mini's, I loved the 'double barrel' tanks. As soon as I spotted them.. I started having Japanese Monster movie flash backs from my waaaay back days. LOL Thanks for posting this. |
