Convention Report: Spring Fever
Brant Guillory, 25 April 2012
More fun with the Triangle Simulation Society and Spring Fever
The Wacky Stuff
Part of the fun of minis games is seeing some of the wacky, crazy, and off-the-wall games people come up with. It's one thing to sit around the table listening in on an RPG where everyone plays Roman badger-gladiators armed with laser swords. It's another to actually see it on the table.
Spring Fever did not disappoint...
Gnome Wars
Yes, it's really called Gnome Wars. It's from Brigade Games, and it's a battle of the Garden Gnomes.
The Patriotic Welcome-Gnome only hints at what's in store.
The Gnome Wars table, a bucolic little village.
The Swiss Gnomes (chocolate, natch) advancing. Love the pickaxe and welder's helmet!
Swiss Gnome detail.
Sikh Gnomes. Hope they're not prone to motion Sikhness (yes, I went there!)
The Rabbit Cavalry!
Gnomes with pickelhaubes. C'mon - this is awesome, isn't it?
More Gnomes with pickelhaubes. Because it's such a fun word to say... "pickelhaube". Say it with me - "PICKELHAUBE!"
Irish leprechaun gnomes with slingshots.
More pickelhaubes. Why? You can never have too many pickelhaubes!
Reverse view of the battlefield.
The Battle For Mars
Using the Valor & Steel & Flesh rules, a very colorful battle was taking place on a Victorian Mars landscape...
Aerial car in flight.
Detail of the Queen's infantry.
Robotic badasses.
Another sky car in flight.
My next Halloween costume. And a most excellent paint job.
V&S&F Rulebook cover, for those of you wondering what the game is....
Part 1 was an overview of the convention.
Part 3 has the WHFB tournament and some others.
Discuss it in our forums!
