Fall In! 2004
New Troy

Mark and Norbert put on games while I put on Siege of Troy using my new city. The Siege games were something of a dramatic difference than my usual tactical games. Using the Hero rules I developed in Homeric Hack, the general idea was to get the Achaeans down from the citadel to open the gates of the city to let in their army. It was fast and fun. The Achaean pilgrims of death used the result of a D-6 for movement inside the city. As they passed buildings they would have to see if the soldiers inside were activated. It was battle after battle. In both demonstrations the players seemed to have a great time as did I. No Troy did not fall either time. New Troy can be seen below.

I was limited to only staying for Friday and part of Saturday at Fall In! overall I was very impressed with Fall In!. The restored and modernized Eisenhower facility is one of the best convention locations one could hope for. There were numerous gaming rooms with plenty of space to set up in. Once you get your bearings the place is easy to navigate. The Convention and Hotel staff were extremely helpful. There was an abudance of good food at fine prices conveniently located in each wing of the convention site. The vendor area was off site at the sports plex with plenty of regular shuttle busing available.
