Chainmail at Gen Con 50!

[stormberg]

Howdy All,


Peter Adkinson personally invited Legends of Wargaming to be Featured Presenters at the Gen Con 50th Anniversary celebration! We will be front and center in the Horticultural Hall replica on the 50-yard line of the Lucas Oil Stadium and are excited to be part of it!

Michael Mornard and I will be running a whole bunch of Chainmail games on our portable, Legends of Wargaming sand table! We'll be using vintage equipment - Elastolin 40mm figures and replica dime-store monster conversions - just like the ones Gary used on his basement sand table!

The sand table will be ensconced smack dab in the middle of the Horticultural Hall replica which will be on the 50-yard-line of Lucas Oil Stadium!

The events have been submitted and will be approved in the catalog early next week! Here is the listing of event and times in case you want to rearrange your schedule.

Ah, how I would love to partake in such Chainmail matches with people who know the rules by heart, especially for such a long-running number like 50.

Could you do one favour of me? Once Gen Con is complete, would anyone be kind enough to list forces and figures for every Chainmail scenario?
