We are back from Little Wars.
Happy to have seen (and been seen by) a number of our customers, and have seen a great deal of interesting games go on. I wish I could have gotten an in-play picture, but among the more interesting games (like the Alien vs Predator vs Humans game and the Panzerblitz in 3D) was a dungeon delving game based on an old tournament module from way back in the day.
But enough of things that aren’t here… here are things that are here now!
