This site was created late in 2008, just a few years after first becoming involved in wargaming. As you can tell by the name, WAB was my introduction to this community. I appreciate the following and comments this blog receives, and give all thanks and credit to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It may seem odd that this blog appears to focus on the folly of mankind's continuous warfare, but I believe I can still enjoy this hobby so long as I put Him first in all I do. Maranatha!

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.
It all looks like a great show. Thanks for sharing Dean.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard. Best regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan. Running my Bolt Action game again this afternoon. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteLooks like a great show Dean.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray! Not as big as the ones you are lucky to attend in the UK, but still a nice gathering. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThat's a lot of nicely painted mini's and terrain setups for the games. Looks like a hoot is being had.
ReplyDeleteCheers

Thank you, Kevin! It's a smallish event, but full of great games with models given TLC by the hosts. Best regards, Dean
DeleteAgree, great looking show Dean!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal. Again, great gathering of old friends and meeting new ones. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteSome very nice looking games in progress there Dean, including a few images of your own Western Desert affair, unless I am very much mistaken?!
ReplyDeleteThanks, 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
DeleteSome great looking games Dean 👍
ReplyDeleteThanks, 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
