The KEGS crew will once again present KEGSCon on the 23rd and 24th of September 2016. Hosted at the beautiful Retrosuites Hotel in Chatham Ontario.
*****UPDATE***** THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CHANGES TO THE SCHEDULE
WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR GMs!!!
Life has gotten in the way, and some of our previous GM's have had to bow out.
Friday evening the 23rd will be a Campaign game, which this year will be a West Indies Naval Campaign set in 1793. Units will be British, French or Spanish fleets, armies and port facilities. Slave revolts, land combat, treasure fleets, hurricanes, disease…Turns will be monthly, and players will represent regional Commanders and their staffs. Combat will be adjudicated using a Free Kriegspiel format with a little twist. Resource management, morale and influence back home in England, France and Spain will be crucial considerations. Bar and dinner service is available, and the game will take place in the hotel restaurant (The Chilled Cork) in the back room. Room opens at 6pm, game starts at 7pm, until 11:30pm.
