That project is totally astonishing! Seems like the sister project to the great Bordeux pirate game. Incredibly good looking ships and terrain. Just looking at those photos made my day.

Being a sister project to the Bordeux game would be an Honor. They were my original inspiration.
I will post more photos as the new ships are completed. I have 4 from Ainsty castings new pirate line I'm working on that I absolutely think are cool. Thank you.

Excellent

I took part in the big Bordeaux game in October 2010 (I was not the organiser, I was the governor of the French town and also acting umpire for all land skirmishes on the southern coast). The organiser is planning another one in a few months.

Wingnut if you wish to exchange some infos and tips (about game conception, ideas, and little problems that could happen in the game, etc) by PM I'll do it with pleasure.

That game alone might be worth a trip to MO...

Cool video, some gorgeous games - must be one heck of a show piece convention. And did I see some sort of a piratical engagement here or there?

Wow, I need to rob a bank or something and get to Missouri.

Aggro,
Better to Rob a Bank in Missouri Like the James Gang than to rob one in Kansas like the Daltons. Them Jayhawkers are mean folk to near-do-wells.

15's ,
There are a lot of great games there other than mine. The war College from Ft. Leavenworth will be hosting a Quadruple-Blind version of Krieg-Speil, Ambush Alley is running Flulugia, The WW1 Museum is setting up a Mobile Exhibit of artifacts from the Great War.
I've been moved to the basement level of the convention where the rowdy band of seamen won't disturb the all weekend Napoleonic campaign or break anything upstairs that has historical value
