Well, Nashcon has come and gone and what a wonderful long weekend it was. I spent most of Friday and Saturday evening connecting with friends, playing a few games, and spying the occasional bargain.
Firstly, thanks for to the two Scotts - Primus and Secundus, for a fantastic game of Ancient Britons versus Romans over the fords of the Medway river.

 |
| Blimp view of the Medway with only three available fords |
 |
| The center passage was narrow and too heavily guarded for the Romans to make any significant progress. |
 |
| My command on the right was able to carve out a toehold, but just barely. It was on the larger ford at the left of our line that the Romans secured their victory, if only barely! |
 |
| The 10mm printed figures were immaculately painted and presented. Genuinely a beautiful game presentation. |
 |
| Love the checkerboard formation of the Romans to represent their professional drill. |
It wouldn't be a convention if I didn't bring something home from the flea market or Vendors!
 |
| This one was a real surprise and a bargain! A whole unit of nicely painted 25mm Scruby Wurtemburgers for $24! |
 |
| I really do think the Scruby line is underappreciated. These are some lovely figures. |
 |
| Three DK artillery teams on the cheap! |
 |
| Anybody know these? I don't think they are DKs. |
 |
| Was this a real trail design for howitzers? Any clue on the nationality if so and the figure make? |
 |
| I needed these like a hole in the head, but may be able to use them or pawn them off on some other willing victim... |
I Haven't been entirely idle during all this and have made some progress on my Polish Lancers of the Guard.
 |
| Taking my time on these, but enjoying the process. |
 |
| All the sword and carbine details took awhile! |
 |
| Count Krazinski coming along. |
 |
| His uniform will have lots of silver lace eventually that may induce blindness in the painter... |
Back to the old grind tomorrow, but I do have a milestone birthday coming up next month. I think I may need to treat myself...
