Chitown Wargamers: April 2019

For Little Wars 2019, the Chitown Wargamers, led by Ed Harding hosted a series of games under the Lard America (Midwest) banner.

Over the course of Friday/Saturday the Lard America group ran 10 different Lardie games:

Putot-en-Bessin: WW2 Chain of Command hosted by Jim Heniff
The Russians are Coming! 1760 - SYW SP2 hosted by Mark Huml
Broadsword and Bayonet at Dunkeld - Jacobite SP2 hosted by Ed Harding
Forrest's First Fight - ACW SP2 hosted by Liam Harding
An Italian Civil War in Spain - CoC:Espana hosted by Liam Harding
Brisk action at Hawke's Farm - ACW SP2 hosted by Paul Scrivens-Smith
Brazen Chariots - four WaT games hosted by Ed Harding

Lard America - Midwest (Deep dish anyone?)

In addition to our group's organized Lard America games, there were a few other people running Lardie games at the convention. Ed reached out to them at the con and they will be included under our banner next year. We hope to get a dedicated 'Club' area to organize and keep our games together.

Nearly every game had a full contingent of players, many of which had never played Lardie rule sets previously. Each WaT game had between six players and 12 players by the final game of the evening! We heard from our local game shop that one player came by and picked up 14 tanks and WaT rules after playing in the morning game!

This first post serves as a short recap, I will be adding photos I took across the games we organized. Hopefully I managed to do most games justice as all games looked great. Thanks to all who played and hope you enjoyed yourselves!
