AROSCON - Aarhus Denmark May 2018

I go to Aarhus, Denmark every year.  My wife goes to visit her family. So, obviously I have to find more interesting things to do.


Obligatory Danish Flag.

I usually try to meet up with fellow gamers such as Tinsoldaten in Aalborg or the local group in Aarhus called Einherjerne's Tabletop .  This year I was fortunate enough to time my trip with the annual tournament in Aarhus known as Aroscon. I didn't have enough time for a full day, but I did drop by to say hello and take some photos.

Here are some photos from the event.

It took place at a local sports club.

I checked out the Flames of War Late War Tournament.  The gentlemen in the green shirt is Benny from No Dice No Glory.  I made a point of saying hello to him on behalf of Matt Varnish.

These houses were 3D printed.

They had some sort of cowboy tournament which looked interesting.

They also had a 40K tournament going on.

The obligatory food and beverage area.

The painting clinics.

The World Famous Morten Peter Schmidt showing off his Team Denmark shirt.

Some of the guys had biker style vests made up.  They looked kind of neat, but I hope they don't mistaken for someone else.

The next event takes place in November. http://aroscon.dk/   If you are in the neighbourhood and want to play they are very welcoming of guests and they all speak English.  In fact one of the Einherjerne's Tabletop guys is a Brit who lives in Denmark.

Maybe next year I'll be able to bring an army with me.

Star Wars Legion comes to DD!

This past week, Coyote brought over his Star Wars Legion Core set to run me through a demo. Lothlann was there to spectate also. I requested it, as I had started to notice a lot over very flattering things being said about the game and specifically its mechanics on the interwebs. Turn outs, the inevitable occurred. I loved it (despite getting wiped out lol!)

This is the Star Wars wargame I have always wanted. That's probably the best one line review I can give it. Click on to see some pictures of our game (and Coyotes amazing painting) and my thoughts!
