What are the most popular games in your area?
4
I have played some different fantasy and sci-fi miniature games and I was looking into branching out into historical gaming. No one really plays in my area so I would have to travel occasionally to play (conventions, tournaments, etc..). I was just wondering what games were the most popular in your area? I would like to play a solid rule set that others enjoy, besides any Warhammer products. Nothing against it, but I would like to stick to historical games.

Anyone going to millenium con?

I got a deal to buy a hex & counter boardgame collection from a guy, and might not be able to get em all in the car. If you're going, and will be returning north, I'd let you pick out some games if you can help transport a few boxes back home with you. And then I'd come get em later. if you were on the fence about going at all, I can get you in on my dealer badge, if you can help me out with this. Later, BB

The rebel goal is to siphon off a corps of Union forces heading to Gettysburg. We move on a couple decades to fight the 1st of three wars during the Iron Chancellor Bismark unification of Germany with the Prussians fighting the Danish army. Next we move on to modern warfare with the first of two scenarios in Ukraine defending against Russia as it attempts to seize territory. The 2nd scenario will be in the afternoon session. There will also be a sci fy game with several quick games for fun along with several short games to play as you observe and choose a game you want to play. The afternoon games will start at 2:30pm and finish by 5:30pm. D Day’s 80th anniversary will be celebrated in the afternoon session. D Day will be celebrated with a hex based system by longtime local rules writer George Knapp as the gamemaster. A bolt Action scenario will be set in Normandy shortly after the landings have been secured with US Rangers fighting German defenders.
