Junior General and I made the trip to Historicon in Fredericksberg. Good time once again. Thanks to all the game masters especially Peter Anderson and David Wood. I played in some Field of Battle/Pulse of Battle and Look Sarge, No Charts games...my two favorite sets of rules for convention games. I always enjoy seeing the "Piquet Crew" and the HAWKS club members.
Trip down went smoothly with some traffic on the last 30 miles on I-95. Stayed in the Hilton Garden Inn again this year, just a short walk to the convention center. Food on site was passable...luckily there are plenty of places to eat close by and Wegmans has a great food bar/sandwich shop. Convention center meets the needs...restrooms still need a better upkeep plan during the day. Noise level is noticeable but I think this is at every convention. Vendor count seemed down to me...missing a few of my favorites such as On Military Matters, Splintered light Miniatures, and Rebel Minis. Flea market was OK...no great finds for me. I stayed within my budget this year. Trip home went even more smoothly since we left early Sunday morning.
I did notice a large increase in the number of kids at the convention, a great sign in my opinion.
We will not be able to attend next year due to a military commitment...looking forward to 2017.
