I'll ask around a bit on some other boards and see if anyone has any other suggestions!<br /><br />(also hope to see you at Boargame Night tonight!)Ken Coblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104321870877852235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615738934994164368.post-41998892137953750462010-02-21T19:19:59.198-05:002010-02-21T19:19:59.198-05:00Speaking of WWI, are there any minis games out the...Speaking of WWI, are there any minis games out there for it?

One more reason for me to try and go if the family schedule works out.<br /><br />Also, didn't you say people at his store played a fair amount of Firestorm Armada? I noticed a fleet box for the Aquans while I was browsing and meant to ask about it, but got caught up in the minutiae of what types of minis to get for some Napoleonic gaming in the Peninsular Campaign and totally forgot to bring it up.Ken Coblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06104321870877852235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615738934994164368.post-64010995492008159462010-02-11T21:19:10.747-05:002010-02-11T21:19:10.747-05:00The Spring Fever Con in Raleigh, NC in early March...The Spring Fever Con in Raleigh, NC in early March has several naval games scheduled.<br /><br />Check out Triangle Simulation Society (http://www.trianglesimsociety.org/index.php)<br />for details on the Spring Fever schedule.<br /><br />Cool stuff.Brittnoreply@blogger.com
