That's entertaining, as I was there. One was run on friday evening (command decision rules, used a mat and other things and not the hex setup normally for GHQ). They ran something all through Saturday as well.

There was something running on Saturday morning, Mein panzer I believe... early war desert combat...

I was running something on Saturday afternoon/evening. No-one signed up for it's allocated slot on the afternoon, but several people wanted to play it in the evening, so I bumped it down to Saturday evening. Had four people playing it, used Troy Ritter's Schwere Kompanie rule set. Was a bit of confusion as to how infantry to infantry combat is done, but we all had fun!

Can't say anything about Sunday, I had to work.

(yes, I'll have a few pics up eventually. Oh, and Troy, for your next iteration of rules, might want to add three more big examples to the middle of the rule set: Infantry firing on Infantry, Direct-fire Mortars, and Indirect-fire (possibly showing the variation between rockets and artillery. Just to clear up confusion).

Sadly, I missed the con this year - finacial stuff and all. Hoping to host in '09. I may attend Enfilade in Seattle though.

Sylvester, glad to hear you hosted up a game. I hope everyone enjoyed it. As to your questions: I assume you would like a section to have the charts and mods shown - similar to the ordnance examples? I will look into it.

PM me if you need anything explained or better yet, the Yahoo group.

The Saturday morning game was mine.

Desert action with Saharania's, LRDG trucks, 2pdr portee's, M13/40's, PzIIf's, PzIII's, 8rad german a/c's, Marmon-Harrington a/c's, A10's and A13's. Using Mein Panzer rules.

The LRDG's, portee's and Saharana's got knocked out real quick! :wink: The guys didn't realize they could do a scoot, shoot, and scoot away in one turn until near the end...when there weren't too many soft vehicles left
