I would like to thank all participants, the Tower Game Center and each of the sponsors.
Derek Downs of NASAMW contributed a huge and well painted army as a prize.
19th Century Miniatures, oldglory15s.com, were very generous with prize support.

The level of play and companionship were impressive once again.
The GCC tournaments just keep getting better, are open to anyone, and are worth attending if you can.
