(Historicon) Thursday Gnome Action!


Gaming with the Gnomies intrepid correspondent, sculptor, modeler, and all around nice guy Mike Lung is on the ground at Historicon in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and was nice enough to send a few shots of the Thursday afternoon Gnome Wars game.  Mike sent them without comment, so I'll add my own.

This year's game is again being played on the Miniature Building Authority "Castle" table, and boy is it a beaut!


The thatched roof buildings are new, but I don't believe the fields are MBA.  Still looks nice.


The Highlander officer is already down?  Who's running these guys?
Set-up from the village.  Two separate battles are being fought, with the river as the dividing line.



Herzogbrian's Chocolat Suisse deploy.  The tank in front of them seems intriguing.

Mike Lung's custom Irish Wild Geese Riders

The Allied forces head towards the German-filled castle

Some close-ups of the Chocolat Suisse

A motley assortment.  Multiple Irish Cav units (wolfhound and geese), Irish infantry, American Cav, a tank, an unknown walker, three Aussie scouts, and a formation of Holy Gnomans.

Love the Irish artillery. The female is converted from the Confederate (Southern) Medic.

More to come!
