Great looking table. But what a background noise. I wonder if that was what it was like in person at the con.

All conventions are crowded and loud.

It's surely not an easy task to explain a ruleset or GM a participation game.

Before Covid I used to go to nearly all the HMGS Eastern conventions for about thirteen years, but they never seemed that bad.

I do see what was meant by background noise! I suspect taht even the real thing in Saigon was not as noisy as that.

I gather that Ged of Gringos 40 commissioned the modelling and the credit for that goes to Colin Farrant and Geoff Lacey, plus Tony of Debris of War. The games was run by Paul Hills. I hope I got all that right, based on Ged's last e mail to me (somewhat cryptic!)
