HAVOC game survey

I had a great time at the HAVOC convention this past weekend. It was once again held at the Best Western in Marlboro, MA, by Battlegroup Boston. This year, my friend Thomas accompanied me, and helped me set up my three games. A brief photo account of those will follow in my next post

Saturday AM games: 

Battle of the Five Armies (LOTR); GM Christopher Parker, Battle Masters Advanced rules. My freind Mark T contemplates the battlefield, while Greg Belevick smiles form the camera. 

Trilaterum; 15 mm Sci Fi; GM Timothy Colonna

  1. Some fun games there and what is particularly striking is how everyone seems so involved and to be enjoying themselves.

    1. Agreed on both counts, Gary. Well, actually, I don't mind a little fantasy or Naval Sci-Fi.
