Historicon 2014 Photo Dump

Here are a collection of photos from Historicon 2014 held in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Most of the pictures here come from the Piquet Field of Battle and Pulse of Battle games in which I participated. At the end are a few shots of other nice looking games on show at the convention.

First, from Tim's FoB2 Latema Nek WWI East Africa game (with Tim's lovely 28mm khaki troops):






Proof that Peter touched khaki troops (from the replay of the game on Friday):


From the Pulse of Battle pick-up game on Thursday night, New Kingdom Egyptians versus Assyrians (with Peter's excellent collection of ancient warriors):











Peter's FoB2 Battle of Montmirail (French and Prussians are from Peter's collection, the Russians are lovingly 'greened' by Barry):





















And now from something completely different:





Enjoy!

Eye Candy: Battle of Novara, 1513 @ Historicon 2013

I was fortunate to participate in this re-fight of the Battle of Novara run at this years Historicon by my friend Peter (of Blunders on the Danube, where you can see his pictures and read his report). The rules were Band of Brothers (2nd) by Piquet. Peter's camera ran out of space, so I figured I should get these up ASAP to supplement his own blog post. This game was the highlight of the convention for me: it was an excellent scenario, a great company of experienced Piqueteers, and it was tense the whole way through.

Without further ado, enjoy the pictures! They are in chronological order as the battle progressed.
