GaMExpo was kind of a bust as far as people who wanted to play minis games. The wargaming room was upstairs, away from the rest of the convention, so foot traffic was sparse. On the bright side, I got to see some other games that people were GMing, like this setup for
Sharpe Practice.
Although the rules are more aimed at an earlier period, the person running the game was using it for a Napoleonic scenario.
And the semi-historical pirates game
Blood & Plunder had a nice Spanish settlement set up.
There was also a superhero game, X-Men vs. Avengers, so everyone could play the good guys.
This had nice modern-day town terrain. I think that's Nightcrawler from the X-Men on the roof.
There was also some
BattleTech--more precisely,
Alpha Strike, a sped-up, stripped-down version of the game that gets rid of the rivet-counting but still feels like playing giant stompy robots.
The scenario was a king of the hill-type game, where you got points for keeping near the objective markers.
I also set up my Monopolis map, but I didn't get that much use out of it. More in a later post.
