LARD DOWN UNDER
I know its been a while since the event but I finally managed to put together some images of the first LARD ZONE in Australia, at CANCON 2023, organised by Peter Rossetti.
Big thanks to Peter for organising the event and all the hosts of the games and especially for the guest visit from Richard Clarke, all the way from Pommy land.
|
Finally meet Richard in person after years of conversing with him over the internet. |
|
10mm WHAT A TANKER, I hosted this game for the first 2 morning events and all the players enjoyed the game. |
|
In the afternoon session I hosted the "Brecourt Manor table" using 28mm figures, here Kyle and his Dad played 2 rounds swapping sides so that each experienced both the US paras and Germans . |
|
Here is the Jungle table (The battle of Wau) I put together for Len Tracey, just before the players were gathering to play the game, unfortunately I was not able to take any photos of the players gaming as I was hosting the What a tanker game. |
|
However I did mange to take a couple of snap shots of the other gaming table, I made for Len, the battle of Taierzhuang between the Japanese and Chinese. |
|
Big Chain of Command hosted by Steve McGuigan, again the gaming table terrain was supplied by me. |
