Flames Of War At Gen Con 2015
with Able Kompanie
Like last year, Able Kompanie took charge of running all of the Flames Of War events at Gen Con. We hosted three one-day Tournaments. 42 players participated in the three days of tournaments, fielding 72 different Forces.
Thanks to all the players who attended and congratulations to all the winners.
|
Our Stalingrad Event game, designed to introduce players to Flames Of War, was a big success last year. And this year tickets again sold out within minutes of going on sale. We had six 6-player sessions over the three days. This year we introduced a newly painted Soviet force and switched sides of the table for the two forces. Our two Game Masters took players through the basic rules of the game with a “capture the flag” point scoring system. The game was located at the corner of our gaming area at a major corner of the Game Room and got a lot of attention from passers-by.
