LITTLE WARS 2012

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)

Sword Beach, D-Day - 15mm FOW WWII

Command & Colors Board game conversion
Romans vs Gauls - 28mm

Warning:
Many Teddy bears were hurt in the making of this terrain.

Battle of Waterloo - 15mm FOG Napoleonics
Charge of the Ice brigade - 28mm Wings of War rules

Cast of Thousands - 28mm Pulp gaming

Home Brew rules (no one dies ! WTF ?!)


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.

Just a quick post to let you know, Ancient Warriors (me) will be going to Little Wars Melbourne 2012, so you can expect pics and a quick rundown of events, this is only a smallish convention / show but there should be sum good stuff available, I'm hoping to take part in a Saga demo game if time permits, again you can expect a post some time next week.
Cheers for now.
