Quite a tour de force in pictures If I had to give a best of show in game boards Arnhem would have been my pick |

Fantastic pictures and interesting commentary. My good friend and I missed Historicon this year because of busy life schedules (I have probably missed 2 in 20+ years). Some beautiful tables in those photos. You described things about the vendor hall and flea market that I have experienced. There is definitely some graying of the hobby in some aspects but I still think there are many historical gamers out there however their nature of gaming is changing. |

One screw up was the game listings it seems missed some club games at least some, no idea if all. |

Thanks for sharing your photos. It was a great convention; agree that there seemed to be a lot of energy. I hosted 4 games, and all were full of players. My games do not approach the Olympian standards of the Alamo or Arnhem, but those games inspire me to try harder! |

The game that you mentioned you didn't know what it was but had a lot of people was a What A Cowboy game called What A Cowboy – The Movie. A very innovative take on the Too Fat Lardies western game. It was a game about a western movie based on a game and included famous western movie characters like Shane, the Lone Ranger, Tonto, Angel Eyes, Blondie, Tuco, Liberty Valance Sheriff Bart, Headley Lamarr and more. I played in it – it was a great and fun game |

@Greylegion The Planet of the Ape looking game is Starshlock a 70s era SciFi skirmish game that was also being demoed in the dealer hall. My son and I tried the demo, interesting concept with a lot of great not-planet of the Ape, not star trek, not star Wars, not Lost in Space… type models |
