This past weekend was a wargaming weekend, to be sure! Friday night we joined the Delaware Area Wargaming Group (DAWG) as Greg hosted Sharp Practice! (by Too Fat Lardies). It was the first time Tim and Wendy played Sharp Practice rules. 
While neither of us are huge Napoleonics fans, Wendy really enjoyed the game. As always, Too Fat Lardies delivers a great beer and pretzels rule set. Greg set-up random commander characters. Wendy's was a real "rotter". Really - the card said that. The objective was for the French to keep the Russians from getting a keg of beer from one of the farm houses. The game went long, so we didn't officially "finish", but the Russians succeeded in at least getting the keg, but they had a long ways to go to get it out. I think they would have prevailed. Here are some of the pictures:
Then Saturday afternoon, we went to Tom's house so he could do a final play test of the Pegasus Bridge scenario that he's running this Friday and Saturday at Historicon in Lancaster. He's using the Too Fat Lardies' Chain of Command. His Pegasus Bridge set-up is STUNNING! He was running the movie, "The Longest Day" while we were playing and he did a beautiful job of recreating the scenes. Amazing. If you're going to Historicon, I suggest you stop by and check it out. Tom didn't really need our help, as he had the game fairly well balanced and fun to play. Here are those pictures:
If you're headed up on Wednesday, let us know!
Stay tuned for the post-con report next week. Other attendees are more than welcome to send us their report to be published, too!
Happy Gaming!
