At Little Wars we again ran a rules "Boot Camp" and single elimination Tournament as both proved to be popular events at RockCon. The boot camp allowed attendees to walk up, play 4-6 turns of a small scenario. We ran the boot camp on two tables (four games) for about six hours in the morning and early afternoon. This allowed gamers to get a quick feel for the rules if they were interested or familiarize them if they wanted to play in the tournament, or both! The format was well received with over a dozen gamers going through the boot camp. In the evening we ran the tournament from 6pm until conclusion (about 11), with six players and three rounds.
Round 1 - Chris & Kevin square off around the "Orchard Board" with French and Saxons, Steve & Tom maneuver around the "Hamlet Board" with French & Prussians, and Bill and Steve slug it out around on the "City Board" with French & Austrians
Round 2 - Steve & Chris are back on the "City Board" with French & British units...
Champion Round - Steve & Steve go at it on the "Farm House" board with Bavarians and British.
Jack & Steve - The Little Wars 2009 CS&C Champion with his "big honk'n" trophy!
