Make the whole thing linked. Like both tables have a single 7' s10 ap1 template they can lob at the other table every turn. Or a bridge between the two tables. Or something.
A few more drawing prizes would have been awesome.
No swag-bags this year?

Swag bag question was handled on the BOLS forum.
Given the track record, no person in their right mind should expect swag bags.Quote:

One smaller game played by Frank and I. We had a grid of the big Apoc table and at the end of every one of our turns, whoever controlled the objective fired a big apoc template at a grid coordinate on the big table. LAZORS FROM SPACE!!!!
We can expand this to 2 tables or more and these are the ships in space with boarding parties on each one. From here, the boarding parties are trying to wrest control of the enemy ship and vice versa to fire on the surface.
You can also expand from here with things like, whoever controls the lander ship gets to deploy first on the apoc table or who gets to deploy thier titans first.
I love the idea of the smaller tables affecting the bigger tables.
1 for 3... yeah its a pretty lousy track record. But I had lots of fun. Thanks to the BoLS guys for running this thing for the last 3 years.Quote:

I agree with the books, but I liked the random bits and stuff in the last ones.
That aside, it was awesome this year!
yeah, except that the wargamescon site claimed that there would be swag bags. it was even given as the main reason people who were not playing in the events might still want to purchase a badge, so that they would get the swag bag.Quote:

Aside from that, I really enjoyed the event this year. Looking forward to next time
That's where my complaint is. Oh well.Quote:

But if you make it overly complicated (by linking too much stuff) it can also bog down an already slower pace game.
I think what we did that one day at BFG was a **** ton of fun though. I would love to see that at BOLScon.
the Narrative at WarGames Con is complicated enough with so many people it would be hard to linnk two tables together because both games are already really rushed and on thier own time table. However it is a great idea. Anyone remember the two month long battle reports from the Armagedon and 13th BC in white dwarf. They hay multiple side tables that directly effected the main table.
Right, that was one of the few times you got to see a the IG artillery use the full 160" range :)
