Question, Bill: Your report says there were 89 vendors. The Exhibitor List on the Fall In website says there were 55. I'd be thrilled if there were 89. Do you know which number is correct? Thanks. |
| Colonel Bill | 09 Nov 2017 3:34 a.m. PST |
Ouch, I must not have had my coffee when I wrote that. The program on page 59 says On Military Matters was vendor 01 while Belle and Blade Video was number 89 with everyone else falling in between. Unfortunately, there are little things like no numbers 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 and 79, though number 80 is By Fire & Sword. There are no numbers 51 – 59 and so on. Getting old sux. Colonel Bill |

Were those table numbers? |
| Colonel Bill | 09 Nov 2017 9:12 a.m. PST |
I honestly don't know, but if they were, where were the other tables? The program implies . . . Location Numbers . . . but the same question remains. There did not seem to be a lot of space left over IMHO. Colonel Bill |

I would agree with your assessment. On another topic, I for one, greatly miss the HMSG webpage you used to manage (the new one does not fill the same need, in my opinion) and of course your great photos of the conventions. Loved your article. It would benefit from some photos of the games you mentioned, including your own. Thanks for sharing. |

….. and a copy of Art de la Guerre, both likely to be reviewed in the near future. For the latter, while Field of Glory is still strong in Europe as a set of ancients' tournament rules, Art de la Guerre seems to be the rule set du jour here in the Colonies. I have several ancient armies, myself, so I thought it might be nice to see what makes them so popular. Actually I read that ADLG is the most common tournament ruleset in Europe now. I dont play, but I have the rules. Nice to see the old 28mm armies coming out of their crypts once again at Fall-In. |
