KEGSCon 2025 AAR

Well another KEGSCon in Chatham is done.

Fun was had, games were played, friends were caught up with.

Kamal from Centuries Historical Miniatures was there. His pricing is competitive. I got these two sets for Cdn$75 (instead of $110 on line).

So, I guess I've settled what the opponent for my 3rd Century A&A Roman army will be in Midgard. They've been on the table exactly once since I painted them back in 2019, and I'd really like to fix that.

Naturally I brought some Quar. The jungle terrain is great for conventions; looks dramatic and light weight for humping from car to venue.

The mat is some fabric I got on 50% off from a quilt shop. I like that it leaves room around the edges for off table stuff.

I used Quar of Command again, the Toulmorese players caught on quickly and butchered the Gloamers.

Some 28mm General d'Armee

In the morning I got to play in Keith's Blucher game. Played French this time. Tense exciting game and we managed to claw our way to a marginal defeat, instead of the decisive defeat that it had been shaping up to be.

Keith pointing dramatically. He's put a lot of work into the aesthetics (dice cups, measuring sticks, unit labels) which is nice.

I'm the green vehicles, lower right and upper left. Barely got past the first gate.

There was more, obviously. 14 games on Saturday morning and afternoon. About 40 people.
