Had a great time today at the Veterans Museum in Chehalis, Washington. One of our gaming buddies is a member at the museum which allows us to use their conference area for a game day. I've posted this game day before along with photos of the awesome collection they have. It's a privately owned and funded museum and all of the artifacts are donated and have a connection with service members from Washington State.

I was able to playtest my La Haye Sainte game prior to hosting it again next month at our big annual convention, Enfilade. The reason for this playtest was that it has been scaled down from the earlier playtest last year. I'm using the scenario which concentrated on the fighting in and at the farmhouse. I got a lot of great feedback and ideas on streamlining and simplifying the game for the convention. A couple of the players who play Rebels and Patriots a lot said that those rules would be perfect for it. I told them that I'd try it out, after the convention as I didn't want to learn a new set of rules weeks before the convention.
My buddy (the one who is a member of the museum) playtested his "The Sand Pebbles" game again. He's also hosting it at Enfilade.
There was a Black Seas game with great looking ships.
In the second period, I played in a Vietnam War game using Arc of Fire rules. I ran a squad of Marines and actually did quite well, capturing a hootch for victory points. In fact, the name of the game was called "Hootch to Hootch". It's the second time for me using the rules - the same GM's hosted the Battle of Hue game using Arc of Fire last September at Enfilade.

My squad moving up to the tin roofed hootch which they eventually captured. Another group of Marines, run by my buddy, getting decimated from long range AK-47 fire in the grove of trees in the background.
A few shots of some of the weapons in the museum's collection - again, each privately donated with some historical ties to Washington veterans. Most of the firearms have an example cartridge/round displayed along with the weapon.
A collection of Colt handguns.
Some of the many small arms in the collection.
Again, another great game day with great games and good company. Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best.
