Enfilade 2023 - Friday Games







Here are some pictures of the games on Friday afternoon and Friday night at our "big" annual convention, Enfilade. I say "big" because it is supposedly the biggest historical gaming convention on the Westcoast (USA), but much smaller than those out east like Historicon. I ran my Bolt Action Western Desert game with 7 players in the first period on Friday afternoon. As usual, players never do what you expect, and it only at the start of turn 6 and reminding the DAK players that their victory condition was to overrun or pass the static British lines that one of them did just that.  It seems most players just like to shoot up or assault the enemy. Anyway, on to the pictures. Also, I'll post pictures of the games from the rest of the weekend on the next post. Oh, and it's been great seeing old friends, including our Canadian brethren.

  4. That's a lot of nicely painted mini's and terrain setups for the games. Looks like a hoot is being had.

    Cheers

  6. Some very nice looking games in progress there Dean, including a few images of your own Western Desert affair, unless I am very much mistaken?!

    1. Thanks, Keith. Yes, I snuck in a few photos of my first game - I'm posting a few more from the second game on Saturday - plus the Xenos Rampant games I was lucky to play in. For the record, the theme for this year's con was "Desert Warfare" - suggested by yours truly. Warmest regards, Dean

    1. Thanks, Matt. And what makes it all the more enjoyable is the relaxed and overall friendly atmoshphere. I'm one of the newer attendees - and this is my 17th year! - so most everyone knows everyone there pretty well. Kindest regards, Dean
