The Convention season continues, and by the time you read this, War Party will have passed. I know that those who attended had a good time. The guys in Cincinnati put on two really nice cons. Drums Along the Maumee 5 was a real blast. My Italian Torpedo boat and Italian sailors were in the search for Captain Nemo. It was a good game and near the end of it I was shooting up everything and everyone in sight. I think I caught some sort of fever.

Even with a few less garners, Drums 5 was another success. I would like to thank the entire Stooge Crew and Colbys, who worked very hard at making Drums 5 so good. I've been lucky enough to attend all five Drums' and hopefully I'll get to number six. If you've never been to a Drums Along the Maumee, plan now on attending next year.

As I write this, Origins is just three weeks away. I'm looking forward to it. I hope to see you there. And don't forget Advance the Colors in Septem­ber. We still need members to volunteer an hour or two of their time to help at our flagship con. Whether it's between games or just a little rest period, we could use your help. Please contact one of the Board Members and let them know you're willing.
