Well, just the morning period - I left after catching up with the crew and picking up the game and rule set I bought from the estate of our late gaming buddy, Dave S. (Naval Gazing blog). Here are a few pictures from the morning games.
A Moro Rebellion game run by Kevin Smyth (A Gamer's Tale blog), using One Hour Skirmish rules.
A Ravenfeast game run by our buddy who actually is the member of the Fort Steilacoom Historical Society which lets us game in the old Quarters #2.
An ACW game using Sharp Practice rules.
A Wings of War WW1 game.
The board game and AK47 Republic rules I picked up, both at a fraction of the going rate. I'm not board gamer, but it is in pristine condition (never used with all the counters unpunched), I had to get it. Hope to get into AK47 since a few of the local gamers are into it. It'll be interesting getting 15mm figures and vehicles.
A shot of the building we use, and also my buddy and his Newfoundland manning the sign in table.
All in all, a good way to spend the morning with friends - and only a five minute drive from my place.
Hope you all are having a good start to the weekend too (although being retired, weekends aren't really that different from other days for me).
Looks like you had a great day Dean...how cool is that, a five minute drive from home!
ReplyDeleteYou had to mention being retired and rub it in again, didn't you! Lol 😆
Thank you again, Keith. Yes, the whole retirement thing should be close-hold, and not thrown out there too much 😀. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteDean, you have found the real burden of retirement. No holidays, no vacations, not even weekends. Bliss! Glad you enjoyed the day.
DeleteLol, Joe! Yes, I have to remember which days to take the garbage cans out too! :)
DeleteLooks like a very cool place to have a game day. I like the table setups, and the minis were nicely painted as well. Excellent eye candy! Did you get a chance to actually play the One hour skirmish rules? Are they similar to the game Tribal?

Thanks, Kevin. Yes,the fort is a nice venue. No, I didn't get in the game, but all the players were enjoying the rules. It does use cards, not exactly sure of the mechanics though. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteVery good way to spend a Saturday!
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes it certainly was, Jonathan. Best regards, Dean
DeleteGreat to see day full of fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal. Yes, nice to see the gang and the nice games going on. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLooks like a lot of fun was had by all!
