    Great pictures, Tom.

    This cake looks awesome.

    The arrangement of this maps reminds me of the vice verca bombing mission we did at our last SummerCon.

    And it's good to know that if WGS has cookies, that WGF has cake!

    The cake was good.
    The game was good.
    The friendliness (I did not know anybody until yesterday) was awesome.
    Meeting your wingmen is great fun.
    I cannot wait until we do it again.

    It is always guaranteed that whatever you Ohio boys do it will be a first class event.
    Now, however you have set the bar even higher, with the addition of a special cake.
    That is a real challenge to other organizers.

    Uh Oh! I see Cake Wars coming on! Medals for cakes. Dogfights for cakes. Altitude stands for multi-layered cakes! Ohio - the birthplace of cakavation!

    Thinking about it, I think it should read Fabric Falcons instead of Canvas Falcons though. lol

    My hand slipped on the throttle controls from all that icing. Cake-a-tok-tok-tok!(sound of spandaus)

    Where are the table shots? Mine are a bit fuzzy.

    Would have loved to come Tom, only the plane was surrounded by a group of penguins who tried to con me that they were the flight crew. Didn't fool me though because they had no uniforms.

    Ashland is only 1.25 hrs from me. I could attend more if I am included in the loop. I didn't take any photos besides the cake. Consequently I really didn't affect gameplay that much either. Guess the saying "No guts, no glory" held true for me.

    Sorry I missed this thread.
    It was great playing with all of you. Thanks again for hosting John. We will play again soon

    While I'll pass you thanks to my wife for the cake, in the interest in full disclosure, she works at a Giant Eagle bakery, and made it there on the clock.
    The image was one I cut and pasted together from the Fighting Buckeye logo that Larry (Tuladin ) made up a few years ago. It was printed onto an edible image.
    It was a good cake though; only 1 piece made it home

    Until the next time!

    I'll be holding an event at my home in mid-July. Until then, I encourage everyone in the area to attend Fields of Glory, a mini-con in Richfield, Ohio, on Saturday, May 3. I've already signed up to run a game that evening. For more information, visit https://www.warhorn.net/events/fields-of-glory.

    I will be at Fields of Glory, Richfield, Ohio, on Saturday, May 3.

    Don't forget the Toy Soldier Show in Wadsworth on Sunday, May 4.

    Warzone Matrix, 4704 Rocky River Dr., Cleveland, OH 44135 carries a good selection of WOG planes, etc.
    Chris, the proprietor, is loving known to his customers as "the robber baron".
    If you are a fastidious person you may be appalled by the Warzone.
    The store is dusty, a bit dirty and there are places where you must walk sideways in the aisles because the shelves are packed with miniatures, rules, etc.
