Let's hope at least a few knew there was a game convention in town. I know Indy folk all get in on the act (hard to miss). OTOH it is nice to blend back into the crowd once away from the con. <br /><br />Me and Jayson are already discussing attending all 4 days next year no matter what. We did all we came to do, but the extra day or so would've kept us from rushing I think.Mike Bridgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17741591268012556455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579874734648165250.post-62919940286402716892018-03-14T21:29:28.650-05:002018-03-14T21:29:28.650-05:00I have noticed that, unlike roleplaying referees w...<i><br /><br /> I have noticed that, unlike roleplaying referees who need to stay involved in the whole scenario, wargame referees seem to feel they’ve done their job if the players can play the game without them, and then sit back and chat with other people about other things.

As a wargamer, what you have described is the perfect convention wargame; easy to pick up and play, not requiring constant referee fiddling.<br /><br />In all truthfulness, based on this and your comments in the past on other wargames you've played in, I genuinely advise you to avoid wargames. I don't know what you're looking for, but it's not what we wargamers look for.Michael (Gronan) Mornardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581843850302136770noreply@blogger.com
