US Paras vs British Guard Infantry in Encounter

Howard Stark shows off his mad pilot skills taking out a whole platoon literally single handedly!

Game 1 of the LW Nationals was against Joses.  He was running British Guards and I was running US Paratroopers.  The total was 1780 pts and the first mission was Encounter.  My list consisted of 2 Paratrooper platoons, an MG platoon, Cav Recon, Shermans, 2 x M18s and 3 x 105mm.  I attached my MGs out and deployed both Para platoons and the Tank destroy platoon.

Historicon 2013 Greedo thoughts

BigWillie has better photos than I do, but I'll throw in a couple (see if you can spot me in his Force on Force picture)..

My first trip to Historicon was awesome.  Didn't sign up for anything, but that didn't seem to matter.  You just show up and say you want to play, and you can.  Quite overwhelming.  So many vendors, games etc.  A madhouse, but by Saturday I was good to go.

Carded at Target!

Historicon was awesome!  I have pictures from all my games but here are some shots from the weekend.  It was awesome meeting all these people that shared a love for gaming.  Mitch, Chris, Ron, Jesse, Jerry and Vic, to name a few, were some great dudes along with the guys from I-95 and the WWPD crew.  A brilliant weekend and I can't wait to come back for the next one.  OVer the course of the weekend I bought some beer at target and was carded.  I guess I look young at heart.
