Special thanks to Hilton McManus for making the last minute drive up and keeping
the last round interesting. Sorry for William Jones who was laid low before
round 1 with a food allergy and could not play. Hope you are feeling better.
Big thank you to Paul Woolerton who made the drive down from Manassas, VA. I
hope we can return the favor some day soon.

I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.

Big thanks to Derek Downs of NASAMW for the shirts and unpainted lead and to
Baxter Key of Wargames in Nashville for the camps for prizes. We tried to make
sure everyone received something.

To bad the rest of the Bunnies and Atlanta FOG players could no make it.

I would like to point out that the venues for this event were outstanding, and very good value.

The location is a great one, and well worth returnng to.

Well done, Chris, and congratulations to John Martin on the Cold Iron Crown.

That 'Cold Iron Crown' has a very nice 'evil overlord' tone to it, does it not?

What was the winning armies?

I see that Hilton McManus raised up. Getting ready to offer his services to the highest bidder at the US Teams in January, perhaps? Or hoping that the people he spurned last year will take him back?

Hilton paid for my travel down & forced Steve Payne to drive with him to ensure he roared to the top of the leaderboard after the first 2 rounds. John's cunning tactic of hiding the infamous pink dice then went into play giving Hilton no chance to win the 3rd game.
