Status : Online		 We ran a series of packed events!  (The shots are all from Friday when the convention itself was not packed.) This photo shows the umpire's map for Kriegsspiel; I'm the balding guy on the left, Giles Scildt is sitting to my riht, and Chaim Krause is at the minis table in the background.  We're trying to explain Kriegsspiel to a reporter, who eventually produced this report: [link=http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2009/feb/21/assembly-waging-giant-wars-miniature-scale/][color=#0000cc]http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2009/feb/21/assembly-waging-giant-wars-miniature-scale/[/color][/link] Unfortunately, we've got no pictures of the Staff Exercises using Conquest of the Aegean, but I'll put a few more pictures of the Kriegsspiel and miniatures game in the next few posts.

Thanks!  I expect to be at Origins running staff exercises again, too.  [
] Now some views of the minis game, which Chaim and Curt ran in a combination of staffexercise and Kriegsspiel manner -- the players had to conduct formal planning, and then, instead of touching their troops directly, had to issue orders higher-level orders for Curt and Chaim to execute.

Status : Online		 Looks like there is a good chance of myself making it there this year even though Matrix is planning on not being there at the moment. The classes James ran last year were a blast and if I'm there I'll be more then happy to help out again. As long as James edits my Soviet forces and puts my tanks back in the formations.   [sm=bayonetbrant.gif]   LOL.
