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.
Eye Candy: 40mm AWI Game Set In The Fall
One of the most beautiful gaming setups I’ve ever seen: an American War of Indepence game set in the fall.
Hand Colored Photographs of Japan From 1865
Given the high levels of current interest in games set in Shogunate Japan, I thought people might be interested in these hand colored photographs of Japan from 1865. That’s several hundred years after the period in question, but I should think they would still be useful.
