Gaming Day - Review and Gallery

Our Gaming Day on April 14th has been a full success. We expected about 25 people to attend, but our expectations have been surpassed: Over 30 wargamers and board game geeks gathered in Pleiskirchen to play, chat, eat and drink. We even had ourselves a small vending table with lots of Infinity material and other games (I got myself a Blood Bowl Team Manager!). I spent the whole morning playing a great game of Descent and got an introduction game to Infinity in the afternoon. Apart from that, there was a 40k table, a Warhammer Fantasy table, one big and several smaller Flames of War tables, three Infinity tables and some others for aerial and naval combat as well as for historical battles.

My personal conclusions for the Day:

• I can hardly wait for the 2nd edition of Descent to be published, then bought and painted by me.
• I need to play more and worry les about big armies (smaller or simply squad sized games like Infinity or Mortheim somehow suit me better).
• You cannot have such a thing as enough scenery in a game of Infinity.
• Dystopian Wars has got some badass miniatures! (Iron Sky anyone?)
• As has Aeronautica Imperialis - my Eldar Skyhost is heading in my direction via Royal Mail right now. 
• Blood Bowl Team Manager is tons of fun.
• We need to repeat this Gaming Day soon. Maybe even this year.

Here are the impressions of our Gaming Day (more and utterly blurry photos in my Dropbox gallery):

Saturday is Gaming Day

I am really looking forward to the Gaming Day in Pleiskirchen tomorrow. Our Local Gaming Club Die Grüne Horde (The Green Horde) is going to host this event, which isn't going to be any form of tournament. Instead, we want to host a broad selection of games where people can look into those games they don't play themselves and explain those they play to others. Right now, there is going to be Warhammer 40.000, Warhammer Fantasy, Flames of War, Infinity, Aeronautica Imperialis, Descent, Warhammer Invasion, Chaos in the Old World, Dystopian Wars, my friend and his father's custom historical board game and several others I certainly forgot.

Knowing myself, I am going to take a lot of photos which you all get to see next week.


PS: After the event, I'm directly going to Ingolstadt to visit my girlfriends relatives. So, most likely there aren't going to be new articles until Tuesday.
