| Battle of Rork's Drift - 28mm |
Little Wars Melb 2012 ran for only one day (Sunday) this is probably Melbournes largest Game convention, which isn't very big by international standards, but is still a good enough game convention to go too, and is the only game convention in my area (beggers cant be chooses), it was held in a German club, club Tivoli, a nice place with a full eating facility and bar, but unfortunately the big hall they had the convention in was dark and dingy, no climate control, so hot and stuffy and too top it off it had shitful lighting, ah well what can you do....
I adjusted my camera settings and started to snap away (apologies about the photos)

| Force on Force Afghanistan - 28mm |
I took the time to participate in a Force on Force game, and really enjoyed it, but found that the realism factor was lacking big time, while I was there the US troops radio failed to work like 4-5 times, we (Afghanies) shot 5 US troopers only to have them revived by one of their team mates, and I couldn't help but feel that the game favoured the US heavily, even though in this game the Afghanies put the smack down on the US.
I even managed to score an invite with this local gaming group, well see how that goes.

Thank you for sharing. It is always good to see shows from other parts of the world.
I especially like the Afghanistan layout. As it is something I am working on at the moment.
Cheers Clint
Still sounds like a good day, I liked your description of the force on force rules. Good pics by the way!
Love the piccies, some very high standards of games there.
Nice pictures as said already its nice to see things from across the globe.
What was the theme of the 'homebrew rules' game it looked a bit pulpish?
Looks like it was a lot of fun!!! Great pics!
Seems like you had a good day. Pics are good gives a real flavour of the whole thing. Thanks for the post.
@Clint - Thanks, I look forward to what you produce for Afghanistan.
@Angry - Yes, I found force on force a little unbalanced, but I need to play more games to be and get a more complete picture.
@Zabadak - Thanks mate.
@Brummie - It was a pulp game, the premise was that you sneak into a movie lot where you have to try to herd all these actors onto different movie sets and make as many different movies as possible.... I asked him where the conflict was...there was none, not really my cup of tea, lol!
@Ray - Thanks Ray.
@Irquan - Cheers, it was a good day.
