Title: GAMA Expo 2024
Post by: bayonetbrant on March 04, 2024, 10:33:55 AM
I am at the Expo all week. While I will be posting articles to the front page in the evenings, blow by blow coverage will be on the socials and I will try to repost over here as I go to keep this all in one thread

That company is based in the UK, so you could probably find stuff over there without the usual giant shipping markup

I think after the 4,551,913,583rd board game about the Eastern Front, they're all starting to run out of names they can use  :groovy:

Oh, surely there are more Bear jokes you can make. "Guderian Bags a Bear" is just begging to be made.

Also, this Heroscape thing is very tempting you know to get for the kids......

Did they have any of the unpainted minis on display?  I've seen the painted ones but was curious to the quality of the unpainted and how well they may take paint.

Local friend of mine are interested for the same reasons. Definitely want to see the minis.

Yes please! I want the D-Day/Normandy expansion very badly.

I think academy picked up some fancy licenses over the past couple years and have been focused there.

Both times I went back to Academy, Uwe was talking someone's ear off and I never got a chance to ask.
