Leaving early Thursday morning for HMGS Cold Wars at Valley Forge Casino. Will be out of touch until Monday.

If you're going I will be at the Bolt Action Tournament most of the day on Saturday, normally located in the lower level where the vendors set up. Not much in the way of ACW this time, did manage to get signed up for a what if ACW naval action Friday night in the Grand Ball Room.

I got to play in an award winning scenario at HMGS Cold Wars based on the Alamo battle using 28mm figures and a modified version of the Muskets and Tomahawks miniature game rules.
Each figure was an individual man, the Texans were all named. The Mexican force had almost 3 times as many men and had to take the Chapel and not lose more than 50% of their force.
The Texans won a moral victory holding the Chapel and killing 55% of the Mexican force.
Here are some pictures with my captions.

I have now had the opportunity to play 3 different games run by the W.A.M.P. group and have enjoyed all of them. If you ever attend an HMGS event and they are running a game it's a good bet it will be good.

Did not do well in my tournament but did play in an enjoyable ACW naval game using Sail and Steam Navies rules, a new set for me that I liked very much. Simple movement system and the combat system is detailed without needing a computer to work out hit locations and damage.
Also got to play in a 20 player Test of Honor game, 5 tables with 4 players on each table covering different aspects and eras the system covers.

Hopefully will get caught up with my games today, definitely by tomorrow.

Loved the pictures!

I see Travis fell in the battle. Did Crockett make it through?
