"Question help about Little Wars" Topic

I have a friend that I am trying to talk into going to Little Wars. Can anyone tell me how many people usually attend and how many games would you estimate are played over the weekend? Thanks

IIRC attendance was about 700 this last Spring. Games run Thursday Evening, Friday and Saturday all day and Sunday AM.

Friday and Saturday see the most with about 30 games per time slot.

I ran 2 games and played in 4 more.

Grattan; This is from HMGS-MW post here on TMP "Little Wars by the numbers.
Before I get into this, I want to say that I think your friend would have a wonderful time. I ran four games and a flea market table, and didn't have much time for anything else. I will probably run one game next year depending. I want to do some playing and buying this time, (alternate each year).

There were beautiful tables, great games and a lot of fun!
