RECRUITS (pic heavy)

[BaronVonJ]

I had another great time at RECRUITS this weekend. For once, instead of hosting I actually got to play in some games. At what games they were! I took a few pictures of the more interesting...
Friday night I played in a miniatures version of Commands and Colors put on by Honorary Basement General Crashdoggy, all the way in from Minnesota.

Here the the Boy moves in his heavies, only to be surrounded and crushed by me. Mwahahahah!
As you can see in this picture RECRUITS is very kid friendly.

A close up of the minis.
Later, it was a Force on Force game in Rhodesia. Just look at those termite mounds.


Saturday morning I started off with an awesome game (also put on by Crashdoggy) in 54mm of the French and Indian War battle of Monogahela. The figs were gorgeous. The terrain great, and the rules (This Very Ground) terrific.

I had a blast with this game running the Courer de Bois. We, the French, had to keep the English from getting to Fort Ducane (Pittsburg).



For awhile, our hit and run tactics worked. But, then Braddock showed up with some reinforcements and we just couldn't hold on.



Then, I helped run a Post Apocalyptic version of my Fistful of Lead cowboy rules. It sounds weird, but it worked. Groups of scavengers were looking for loot on the ruins of an old city. You'd think we'd spend time shooting at each other, but there were enough surprises to keep us busy elsewhere.
There were plenty of other games I wasn't able to play in. Like a stunning 20 foot long pirate game, complete with cannibals





Stalingrad

and many, many more. Wish I could have played in a lot more, but only had so much time. If you live any where in the MidWest US, you've got to make the trip.

Wonderful pics. And the tables certainly look cool. Sounds like you had a lot of fun.

Lovely.  Lovely, lovely, lovely. And some clever uses of board material.
