It has been a very eventful summer. Of course, the highlight was Historicon and this issue has plenty of material on that premiere convention. To tell you the truth, the convention was an absolute blur to me. We had over twenty SAGA events this time around. Of course, we had the Limerock Room again, making finding our events easy!

Thanks to all of the gamemasters for putting on the games as well as the players who stopped by to check out the rules systems and chat for a bit. It is always great to meet new gamers and talk to them about SAGA and the rules. There were quite a few sales made and hopefully, AW, MW and RW are being played in new basements and clubs coast to coast.

One unfortunate incident marred an otherwise fine convention for me. Sometimes a person who favors another rules system gets a bit out of hand with his zealousness over his favorite. After a serious discussion, this situation was sorted out to everyone's satisfaction.

I didn't get a chance to really see much else other than our own games, but did get to play in the AW 25mm tournament. My first game was a good victory, but Allen Kaplan took my Graeco-Indians to the Indus and swept us away in our second game. Allen actually was the eventual tournament winner.

As always, I love Historicon and this year we went down on Wednesday, giving us a chance to visit Gettysburg as I am working on an article for one of the military journals on the Peach Orchard fight of July 2, 1863. Going down a day earlier made it a more relaxed convention, at least for me.

Foundry is finishing up on MW and it is pretty much completed. I have sent in some final edits and changes reflected in the SAGA edition which we have developed over the last year or so (i.e. axe factor improved). I will let the rules group know as soon as I hear a publication date. Until next time….
