This past Saturday the HAWKs (Harford Area Weekly Kriegspielers) hosted their one-day gaming convention, BARRAGE XVIII. The event, held at the Community Center in Havre De Grace, Maryland, was a huge success with record attendance and a full slate of beautiful games to choose from.
Here's some photos of the action.

After the con was over, the club celebrated by holding their first ever live-action wargame using the "Blood & Swash" Pirate skirmish rules. A "tavern" was set up in the hall using the game tables, with drink coozies for beer mugs, and paper plates for dishes. Armed with foam swords and Nerf guns, the Pirates tried to be the first to carry a treasure chest out of the tavern. The more dressed up in costume you were the better ranked your character got to be. Much hilarity ensued and all had a great time. It was the perfect way to end the day.
