Posting this late Saturday night from Olympia, Washington – the second day of the flagship historical gaming convention here in the Pacific Northwest, Enfilade! I was happy to host four Lion Rampant games. Two First St Albans games on Friday (afternoon and evening periods); and two Tewkesbury games on Saturday (morning and afternoon period). Each game had six sign ups filled up before the convention started – I actually was honored to have a seventh player walk on for my last two games – Chris from Cigar Box battle mats. I was even fortunate to get into the new TFL „What a Tanker“ game on Saturday night. I liked the rules very much and may be picking up a copy. Without further adieu here are some pictures of just a few of the 124 listed games.

Alyssa Faden’s amazing Teutoburg games using modified DBM. Incidentally, she’s also the convention director for the first year and did an outstanding job.

My first First St Albans game on Friday afternoon. The Yorkist got into the town and captured King Henry in both games – but not after being bloodied.

Longtime NHMGS member and former president, Kevin Smyth’s Thunderboats games with his hand-painted boat based on actual race boats from Washington State.

Team Yankee game

Another shot of Alyssa’s Teutoburg game which she ran in several periods and won deserved recognition.

Saxon Trap game using modified Black Powder; the table was super long.

A fantastic Hot Wheels, HMGs, and Human Gangs game. Fantastic terrain and converted Hot Wheels.

Shop smart, shop S-Mart zombie game. Very cool looking too.

A Bronze Age game using 40mm figures by my buddy David (I Live With Cats blog).

Bruce Meyer of Company B’s Java 1942 game using Combat! (which I’ve never heard of before).

A very nice Forvono game using The Pikeman’s Lament rules by Spencer of Little Wars blog.

Another shot of the Hot Wheels game.

Some pics from the Tewkesbury games on Saturday. The Yorkist barely won in both games.

Another game by David Sullivan of I Live With Cats. This wonderful pike and shot game using The Pikeman’s Lament

Start of my very first game of What A Tanker!

I ran a T-34 with exceptionally good dice rolls – nearly taking out a Stug, which was actually finished off by the IS-2.

Jackson’s Night Attack using The Men Who Would Be King in 54mm

Lost in Lemuria Again using In Her Majesty’s Name

For whatever reason, I find that I enjoy hosting games more than playing in them. Especially at Enfilade! Maybe, it’s because I plan for it so far out and look forward in anticipation to hosting it. Of course, it’s always great to see folks I only see once or twice a year and have developed what I would consider a friendship with. Thank you very much for stopping by and best regards to all!
