Nice write up. I was happy to see that you won an award for your painting. Nothing feels better than to be vindicated. |

Your table with Early War vehicles was simply great! |

Excellent AAR for the first time, thought it was really personable and accurate. We were the two players on Friday, by brother being the newbie. We both said this was the most enjoyable game of 4 we played at the Con. Your layout was diorama quality. I ended up buying the rules at the Flea, and that was the bag you mentioned in your post. My bro-in-law and I run games and hopefully will get in at Fall-In, considering the weird time constraints. Keep us in mind and check us out. Hopefully we can reciprocate the game playing experience! Running Chicamauga in 15mm, play tested numerous times, an awesome game! Thanks again, you are a great game master! |

Thanks – looking forward to it! |

John, Great AAR. Loved your Chain of Command game. What buildings were you using and did you paint them, they looked great. |

Thanks for the AAR. I strolled by your 1940 game while you were setting up and distracted you by asking about the buildings. It was a great looking game, too bad my schedule didn't permit me to join in. |

Thanks again. The buildings are from Grand Manner, and the paint jobs are mine. |

This was my first Historicon , traveling from the UK as part of the Peter Pig team.
I found the centre to be very clean and the staff very friendly and helpful.
Yes one of the urinal gave up but after 4 days of war gamers what do you expect.
There wasp,entry of great looking games and the ones I took part in were well presented.
A great mix of traders with most things available.
Being in Fredericksburg we were able to spend a few days visiting some of the ACW battlefields, another first for me.
Pity it is moving from what I thought is a great location |

Hollywood,
Great looking games and scenery. Top notch. I noticed your Leader and MG figures all have color "bands" on them to differentiate them. These appear slightly larger than your other figure bases. I use a similar system, but am interested in your approach. TRU |

Hi TRU, Thanks. Those colored markers are essentially rubber bands that I purchased here: link They are the rubber ones toward the bottom. Cheers!

Perfect! I've been looking for this very thing and i was coming up empty. Many thanks. Tom |

John.
That's a pretty elegant solution using elastic bands. Very simple to add and differentiate the figure types. Thanks for sharing.
