Wow, it's been a long time since I posted.
In terms of gaming, it has been pretty quiet. I went to Hot Lead. I started to create a post for it but never got around to finishing it. I unpacked a couple more gaming boxes into my hobby area but that is far as I got.
But I did go to KEGSCon last weekend in Chatham. I ran a game of Chain of Command, which went fairly well. I find that most CoC gamers in conventions tend to be cautious, and this game was no exception. While the Russians were getting pretty shot up, since we were playing the Probe scenario, they did have a chance for a win if they got some good movement rolls and resolutely pushed on.

Near the end of the game, the Germans advanced at the bottom as did the Russians at the top. |
In the afternoon, I played in a game of late medieval Swiss against Burgundians. The Swiss really need to close quickly and get stuck in, but were doomed by poor morale rolls at inopportune times.

Other games included an IABSM featuring a British assault on a German fortified hill late D-Day.
