CincyCon 2021

      CincyCon was held this year in the Cincinnati Ohio area.  My wife Linda and I met our friend Glenn there and we had three nice days of miniatures gaming.  It's held in a very nice building on the Butler County Fair Grounds.  It's a new building, clean, well lit, spacious.  A nice place for a gaming convention.

     Because of Covid I guess that the attendance was about half of what it has been in years past, but everyone seemed to be having a very good time.  We played in 4 games, plus some gaming back at the hotel.

Mean Streets, Urban Gang Warfare

 

 

 

What a Tanker - France, 1940

 

Armored Predators - France, 1940  This game is a favorite of mine and Glenn's.  A self-designed set of rules, we play it at ORIGINS and here at CincyCon.  It's 15mm played on a 20'x20' play area.  More realistic ranges than most tank games we've played....

American Civil War, Gettysburg Soldiers  After 4 hours of crawling on the floor pushing 15mm tanks around Linda was looking for some knitting time.  Gettysburg Soldiers was to run a 2pm demo of their rules, but no one was at the table.  Glenn and I asked Larry if we could give it a go and he very kindly agreed.  He spent some time with us teaching us the rules and giving some points.  If you've never met Larry, stop by Gettysburg Solders and say hello.  A genuinely nice fellow.

 Test of Honor  On Sunday morning we were going to play in a drop in game of Warlord Games Test of Honor.  We got there only to be informed that the game was really for a group of friends who hadn't been together since the Pandemic......it looked neat and here are some pictures....

 

And finally, Linda took this picture while Glenn and I were playing the Gettysburg Soldiers ACW game.  Glenn on one side, me on the other.  For 42 years our dice have rolled and our cannons roared.  Over many years, at many venues and during many, many games...we remain friends....
