Even though we were missing several gamers who usually attend, the 6th rendition of Tundra Con has to be judged highly successful. We had 57 paid entries, plus our four vendors and a number of interested spectators from the patrons of the Legion Hall. The post commander even got in a game!
A great many photos of our eye-candy games follows. We finally got our regular website going, one cannot rely just on Facebook and word of mouth. The plan is have a game master sign-up spot and a regularly updated event listing. Be sure to put us on your calendar for next year. January 9th!
We also had Memoir '44 and Wings of War but sadly I missed out on getting pictures. I suppose I was distracted setting up my "Bulge" game that didn't resonate with players.
Sunday we had our usual invitational game of Batailles de l'Ancien Regimes, planned by Brent Olson and featuring eleven players. Unfortunately I was so busy helping players that I neglected to take many pictures. The engagement, based on the Battle of Long Island, was fought on three tables that were connected but not connected. We got a very historic result as the "British" made short work of the "rebels."
