Talking Re: Have you vere attended a Gaming Convention?

I just got back from a con that took place over the weekend in Collinsville Ill. It was DieCon 8. I ran a Memoir 44 Overlord, but only two other people signed up to play. Here is one of the pictures:


So two of us played Americans and one guy played the German side by himself! The scenario was Bastogne Corridoor, which I could not find anymore on the scenarios from the front. Another game I played that had to do with WWII was a tank battle game with GI rules. The tanks are the pre-painted plastic toys sold in Walmart stores. There were also a couple of other to scale tank minis used in the game as well. Here is the pic:


I played the Americans in the picture and, yes, my M-18 TD's were having a rough go at it at first. But they came through and took out the Tiger hiding in the woods. My three Shermans on the right side of the board took out the three Panzer IV's in the village. The Americans won the battle! What a great time I had at the Con!!!
