First the demographics: We had thirty-nine players participating over the weekend. The nationalities included; six American, six British, thirteen German, two Italian, and twelve Russian. On our tracking sheet players self-selected their type of list, there were; twenty armor, nine mechanized, and ten infantry lists. Players travelled from Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia, Minnesota, Texas, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Arkansas, and even included one who flew in from sunny California. Those players were representative of at least eleven game clubs including: Able Kompanie, 757 Rangers, Screaming Eagles, Tough ‘Ombres, Legions, T.R.P., All American Gamers, Lakeshore, Golf Kompanie, GITSUM, War College, and Hard Knox Gamers. Our youngest player, Ian Gall (15) came with his father Tom Gall, and friend Walker Fursa (18). There were also two other father/son duos participating. Seventeen out of twenty tables were supplied by players; and fifteen of the twenty got at least one vote for best table.
