Maybe it was the cold (minus 5 temperature in the hall till the heaters started working) .. or the uncertainty about the economy... but attendance at Wintercon was well down on last year - perhaps 2/3 as many attended.
However, that picture was only taken after nearly everyone else had left. At one stage we had a record 9 players with planes on the table at once, which can get a bit crowded on a 6x4 ft area...
3 Fokker D.VIIs, 1 Halberstadt CL.II, 1 F2B, 2 Camels, a Snipe, and an O/400. 4 of the players hadn't played before.
Even 4 aircraft (the usual) led to some interesting situations. Here we see a US DH4 being pursued by a Fokker D.VII, in turn pursued by a US Spad VII , with a Pfalz D.XII hot on its tail.
