Cangames 2017 - 'Random' Tables

Hello everyone,

I hope all is well with folks.  This past weekend in Ottawa, the annual CanGames convention was held.  I was in a pretty unique situation in that I was flying solo as the family was out of town...though, that is to say, I've been a steady attendant of the Con since I discovered its existence back in 2008.

Now a couple of my fellow gamers have already beat me to the punch...so if you want to see some other post-convention write-ups, please check out:

Mike's post - games he ran...
Mike's second post - games he played...
Terry's post - Cangames, the weekend

So, as the post title says...this is my post of random gaming tables that I saw over the weekend.  Some of them, I had the opportunity to check out more than once...and some I was only able to get a pic or two.

With that...I hope you enjoy the pics...I will have a couple of follow-up posts of the games that I played over the weekend.  NOW THE PICS!!

I believe this game was called Pirate...it had a cool looking multi-deck ship...

 

A Cangames staple...David Redpath's Bandits 2 ruleset...this scenario was an Egyptian/Soviet attack on an Israeli facility 

 

If you've looked at the links above, you'll already recognize this as Mike's Epic Armageddon game

Giving version 4 a shakedown, one of the fellows from the Ottawa Miniature Gamers ran a Flames of War desert theatre game...a large scale tank on tank battle pitting the Italians against the British...

Another one of the gents from the OMG Club ran a Great War game using Flames of War's ruleset, but he instead ran it in 20mm...it was a very good looking table with trenchlines and shattered ville's and a bunch of troops and a few tanks...

Fleet on Fleet action at Leyte Gulf...I believe this was a homebrew ruleset...

I believe this is a D&D Monster Mash run by one of the local groups...IIRC this is from the 'Red Shirt Society'...great looking table...I always enjoy taking a look, and it is a well received game.

More Pirating goodness here...I didn't bother them to get a rundown on the game, but looks like Pirate Seas is a small fleet on fleet action...looked fun!

 

 

Xwing Demo...I unfortunately didn't make it in time for this one...but I was fortunate to get a quick look after their setup...very awesome gaming mat...and the Corvette looks great. 

 

 

Rex Brynen's home-brewed Zombie/post-Apocalyptic ruleset...a nice preview as I was able to catch the second gaming of this one on Sunday... 

...perhaps a photo capture of those moments before Reality TV sensation Dick Danger (aka Terry, see link above) is consumed by zombies...RIP Dick...
