Nice report. So this guy considered a 21 and a 17 year old as kids?? He's got some issues I think. |

Only time for photos and quick Judea of what game it was, seen all the games on Saturday but only played 1, definitely have to get more out of the day. 17 definitely, 21 maybe are kids when your my age. |

14Bore, well yeah, I'm 71, so in that sense they are kids, but I've played with younger than that with no problem. |

Proof positive that I'm an old fogey… What turned out to be wrong with the car? |

Actually had a teenager playing same game, and a woman was on my losing side ( had nothing to do with losing ) |

Great write up. Great to also see/hear younger people (kids) playing. Bodes well for our graying fat hobby. :) |

Thanks all for the comments. I am pushing 50, and kids are 12 and under for me, but I still will gladly play a game with them. I play for fun, not for blood, and welcome anyone who wants to give it a go. And it was the brakes HMS- apparently you need pads or something? Why can't brakes all last the same amount of time so i know when to change them? |

I developed a steering squeak on the way up. It was too cold and windy to try to hear if it persisted on the way home. Haven't driven enuf since home to monitor. We'll see. |

Kids? Approach the 75 mark and that term refers to anyone in their 50s or younger! <;-) On the serious side, my son and I started attending cons when he was in his early teens. We were welcomed and his youth never came into question. That GMs behavior will hurt this hobby more than the "graying" of us old timers. Great write up, sounds you and family had a great time. The pics were wonderful. Glad that one instance didn't spoil the party. Thanks for sharing. Sam |

Very nice write up. I am the GM from the TFL Coastal Patrol game. Glad to see that your son had a great time and happy to help with the 3d files. I was also in Peter's balloon busting game with you, playing as one of the German's defending the balloons. I also played in his WWII Pacific game and volunteered to play the PBY Catalina. |

So based on what you all saw played there, what is the next big thing? |

We were there for fun, Bismark, adapt and overcome! So cool to see yo uon here, and that we played in Peter's game. My son really enjoyed your game, well done! Not sure coopman. I guess Historicon 2022? Not sure if Cold Wars 2022 is on, and I will be deployed for my favorite local con in February. |

Nice read, I had fun there as well though I chose to only watch (and buy) rather than play. A nice chill weekend for me. |
