Hello, all!
Here's the first update for Peninsula Campaigns 2008: We've already got some dealers coming in. Dean Rapp from Battlefield Creations will be bringing his 15mm Flames of War (FoW) goodies, as well as running a Flames of War demo - possibly even a tournament, if there's enough interest. So all you FoW Fanatics, come on down!
We also have Dave Winfree of I-94 Enterprises coming in, bringing in his wares. He will also be running a Check Your Six! demo and "Flight School" 2nd session, as well as a full-on CY6! game 3rd session.
We've also had Tod Kershner commit to running a 25mm AWI event taking place in the New York Wilderness, 3rd session. Joe LePard well be coming, as well running an ACW game. We are still looking for events, so please send them in.
On that subject: It has been brought to my attention (repeatedly) that I have an issue with bouncing emails. If you cannot contact me at my main email address, please try the new convention email: pencamps@gmail.com. Also, if you get bounce backs, let me know via the new address and hang onto them. I will let my ISP know and send you an address to forward them to.
Thank you again for all your patience. I apologize for the email issues. I am hoping we can resolve this with my ISP. Feel free to drop me a line at either address.
