World At War Convention, Ft. Meigs, Ohio, November 2014
Here are a few photos from my trip to the Worlds At War miniature waraming convention at Fort Meigs in Perrysburg, Ohio.
The convention was aided at getting the younger set involved, so there were quite a few kid-friendly games. Among the events: All Quiet On The Martian Front, Western Gunfight, Gangsters, an amazing Post-Apocalypse Max-Max style game, Flames of War, Saurian Safari, War of 1812 Fraser’s Farm, a War of 1912 54mm skirmish, Star Trek, a 28mm Civil War game, and a Lego Zombie Apocalypse game.
