I did snap one pic at WBC
Well, actually, more than one, but only one came out OK. It's a shot of the large room where most of the wargame tournaments are held. It's interesting that the prime space at the con still goes to the hard-core wargame crowd.
Actually, I would hardly call it the prime space. There is very little room between tables and many of the narrow tables were made up of uneven even narrower tables, making setting up a gameboard flat impossible. It is noisy and people do not seem to know there are tournaments going on. People would constantly comment and even have long discussions with my opponent while we were playing even the finals. I think the smaller rooms are better.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the photo.
ReplyDeleteOh, and one could argue that the truly hard-core grognards are in the adjacent Conestoga room.
