I'll be there, and running a Songs of Drums and Tomahawks game.

Maybe the websites should also be updated as many people don't do Facebook.

Looks good! Hope I can make it work. It'll be my 4th KEGS!

As I sit here in China I realized it is less than two weeks to KEGSCon!! Hope to see a lot of familiar and some new faces there this year. I think we have a good line up of games for everybody.

1 week to go!!!

Play testing my game tomorrow on friends/guinea pigs before unleashing it on the clientele of KegsCon. Looking forward to next weekend.

I play tested my 6mm Spicheren game yesterday, the French held on for a draw. The Prussians attacking the Rotherberg took very heavy casualties, and the Prussian Artillery never really got into the game.

The Prussians captured Stiring Wendell and Forbach, but the French held the heights around Spicheren, and the Prussians didn't have enough left to shift them.

Looking forward to seeing how this game goes at KEGSCon 6.

2 days!!!

Just returned from my first KegsCon. Thanks to Brian and Keith for doing the heavy lifting.

Thanks to the 4 gentlemen who played in my Songs of Drums and Tomahawks game. I hope they had as much fun as I did. A tightly fought combat between Iroquois and Hurons which went right down to the wire.

And finally, thanks to Chris for his Songs of Drums and Shakos game (yes it was a Ganesha Games Saturday for me). The Russians under Andrew Ore and myself were swept aside pretty handedly by the Napoleonic French. They must have been on their way to Moscow.

Also, I stayed at the Retro Suites Hotel, which is one of the nicest and most distinctive places around. A wonderful venue! Check out their website:

KEGSCon 6 is in the books. It was a good weekend. Ran a Gaslands game on Friday night with much destruction. Gate 2 was a pile of smoking wrecks! Loud but smallish crowd on Saturday. I was working the door all day, but everyone was having a good time. Thanks to all the GMs for bringing out their toys for people to play with. Thanks to Crucible Crush and 6 Square Studios for their continued support. Thanks to the OHA guys for running a very boisterous LotR tournament. And thanks for all who attended and played. Without your support we could not continue to do this. Thanks to the Retro Suites and especially to Paige, Tina and Keegan for taking care of us. We will be looking at some changes for next year due to the lower attendance, but we will still be there! Thanks again!!
Keith
