NJ Con will be held on 9-10 June in New Jersey. A number of the HAWKs are going to head up to run a few games. Among the games we are taking up there are three Combat Patrol(TM) games (http://www.bucksurdu.com/Buck_Surdu/Combat_Patrol.html).
Zeb Cook is running a cowboy game using his under-development Wild West variant of Combat Patrol(TM): World War II. Various factions battle it out in a wild west town.
Duncan Adams will run a War of 1812 game using his recently released black powder era supplement for Combat Patrol(TM). This scenario is set in a small Caribbean coastal village. The Americans land in the village to push out the British.
I will be running a US vs. Moros game, set in a coastal village in the Philippines.
Come and experience the streamlined mechanics of Combat Patrol. Cards are used to resolve combat, not just manage activation. A card draw takes the place of calculating a bunch of modifiers, rolling some dice, and then looking up a result on a table. The result is that you can fight the game, not the rules. Check out the rules' Web page (http://www.bucksurdu.com/Buck_Surdu/Combat_Patrol.html) for demonstration videos, free downloads, and other information.

Thanks, all. I will be running several WWII games at Historicon. One will be France 1940 and two France 1944 games. Several others will be running non-WWII Combat Patrol games. Come by and say hello. |

Just to clarify: - The NJCON Combat Patrol games will be run on a single table dedicated to HAWKs games. - The Historicon Combat Patrol games that Buck mentioned will be in the usual HAWKs room. |
