NJCon Events Posted

I don't know how long the events have been up on the website, but general registration opened today on ww.NJCon.org .

The variety of games is very acceptable in my book: 55 Days at Peking, someRussian Civil War, Roarke's Drift, even a couple zombie games, with just the right mixture of giants.  Yeah, and a something called Flames of War is having a tournament apparently.  Sounds silly.

And to ensure I keep the title of my blogs, here are the two events Jim "The Gnome Guy" is running on Saturday:

Gnome Wars: The Brawl for Lunkhead’s Brewery
Description: Upset over the rising cost of beer Swiss and Scottish gnomes attack Lon the Lunkhead’s brewery to secure their stash for the winter. Can Lon hold out, or will he have to make a run for it?
GM(s): Jim Stanton    Rules: Gnome Wars   Scale: 28mm   Saturday Afternoon

The Brewery, good clean fun, so long as one likes alcohol.

Gnome Wars: The Battle of Saragarhi
Description: Northwest Frontier Province - 1897. A signalling relay post called Saragarhi stands on a bluff mid-way between Fort Lockhart and Fort Gulistan to provide heliographic communications between them. On September 12th, hordes of enemy laid siege to Fort Lockhart and Saragarhi, with the aim of overrunning the fort while at the same time preventing Saragarhi for signaling for help.Twenty one Sikhs from the 36th Sikhs under the inspiring leadership of their detachment commander, Havildar Ishar Singh, resolve not to hand over the signal post to the enemy and seek safety elsewhere, go to the walls and wait for the assault. Havildar Singh knows well that Saragarhi will fall, because a handful of gnomes in that make-shift fort of stones & mud walls can not stand the onslaught of a six hundred enemy. These plucky gnomes know that they will go down, but they have resolved to do so fighting to the last.
GM(s): Jim Stanton   Rules: Gnome Wars   Scale: 28mm   Club or Sponsor: Brigade Games
No. of Players: 8   Saturday Evening

This one Jim has been talking about for at least three cons, so it's nice to see it scheduled.   If any group deserves to fight their version of Thermopoyle on the Gnome Front, it should be the Sikhs.  Can't wait to see them die, er, I mean fight to the man!
