Hi Kids, Yesiree, its been another con weekend here in beautiful North Carolina! Triangle Simulation Society's flagship con Southern Front attracted about 120 people, all hardcore gamers of course. Here's a bunch of shots from the world famous (just check out Lead Adventure Forum for the details) Robotech/Macross game. Using 1/200 plastic kits from assorted manufacturers, the robot combat was fast and furious! Zentradi Battle Pods above, and...
UN Spacy Destroids.....
Zentradi Fighter planes....
UN Spacy Guardians swooping to the attack....
Zentradi Battle Pods of assorted makes and models....
Carnage and Glory hounds rejoice, here we have 40mm action from the American War of Independence. It was run by the world famous Dr. Bob of CLT and his minion.
Two shots of a 40mm French & Indian battles.
God help us all, the Martians and a bunch of other wierdo's are closing in on Mayberry RFD! Fox Mulder got shot right away on turn 1. Bummer!
The world famous Tom from SC ran a fistful of games, including this Starship Troopers action.
The jump troopers close in. Might not be a wise move.
The 15mm Assault on the ex-Pont-du-Hoc artillery! Run by the world famous Jerry of CLT.
15mm WW1 Trench Fight! Johnny the Wop goes over the top!
The world famous Ol of RDU needed "5" to hit, here's a roll which had everyone happy. Except maybe the target.
1/1200 Fighting Sail.
More developments during the C&G 40mm game.
and the 40mm F&IW game....
Holy Cow! Who let these guys in here? Here we have a shot of a board wargame, it's "Last Chance for Victory," the Battle of Gettysburg! I still play this type of game occasionally, last time was AH's "Jutland." Man, that's a cool game! MORE BIG GUNS!
The National Guard is closing in on the Greys in Mayberry.
There goes the neighborhood, from the devestation I'd have to say WW2 in 15mm. I'd bet on "Fireball Forward" by the world famous Jerry from CLT.
A really groovy 10mm American Civil War game. SMG minis, avaliable at the show!
A couple shots of another 40mm F&IW game, these figs are AWESOME!!! "Ask Death for speed, for only I remain.... Last of the Mohicans."

A 25mm Mexican-American War (1848) game by the world faous Chris of Sash & Sabre minis, available at the show! And he offered a discount! WoooooHooooooo! A bunch of my nappies are S&S, they're great figs! And even the 40mm stuff is affordable at $2 per guy. In this shot the Americans are approaching the Convent of Chumbarri (or something like that).
Two shots of the action outside the convent.
More bugs, less better. The dudes from Raid are having multiple heart attacks. Those whose hearts
