Oh... my buddy learned a lesson: this is NOT a great car for a toy soldier convention... but, you know... first world problems:)

Hi,
I was in the morning game for the Napoleonic C&G game where we gallant outnumbered Russians and Austrians gave the French a bloody nose - 18% French losses to Allied 8%.
Any idea who won in the 2nd game that you show?
Chers

Great photos. Those AWI games do look fantastic. #46-47 are of Howard Whitehouse's A Gentleman's War Colonial varient. Old School goodness in 40mm.

Thanks for taking the time to shoot and display a lot of very nice photos.

By any chance do you know who put on the WW1 game in photos 42-44 and what rules they were using?
