Title: Castillo Besieged!
Post by: anton ryzbak on January 21, 2018, 05:15:26 PM

Well, I finally got the Castillo finished (and just in time) and presented my game at Spartacon. You can read about the scenario here https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2018/01/castillo-besieged-part-i.html (https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2018/01/castillo-besieged-part-i.html) and the resulting battle here https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2018/01/castillo-besieged-part-ii.html (https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2018/01/castillo-besieged-part-ii.html)

Ahhhhhh!  Is that Brigadier Young's grandchild in the fort?!  Or have you done something horrible to a small child to put him inside the fort!?   :o

 lol

Beautiful game.  The kid in the fort made be think of a write-up of how Brigadier Young used to cheerily pop up from a hatch in the middle of his gaming table.

Hope all the players enjoyed themselves - and were properly in awe of your efforts to get the fort on to the table in time.

The table top looks wonderful, and the game looks like fun. 8)

Amazing modeling. Great game. Outstanding photo-essay AAR. 10 out of 10. Will you take this show on the road?

Zippyfusenet,
I intend on taking it to Flint Michigan for Flintcon on February 3rd, and perhaps to Drums Along the Maumee later this year. Work prohibits any further ventures until I retire next year, at that point Historicon and other conventions become possibilities.

Brigader Peter Young !  Mastermind, you're dating yourself (and me !  I received his book, Charge, as a 17th birthday present)


The Castillo is a very impressive building.  Bravo - gaming on the grand scale.

Metternich,
My personal motto has always been; "Too much is a good place to start!"

ROAD TRIP! ROAD TRIP! ROAD TRIP!

I'd better book a room, it's already 1/25. Recommend a hotel?

Drums would be great too. I've already got a room booked for Drums this year.

Uh, are you local to northern Ohio/Michigan?
