    Default Curious ComiCon 2019 - Nanaimo

    Wow, this is a late announcement.

    Curious Comics in Nanaimo is hosting another ComiCon. And, of course, there will be something on the tables for Wings of Glory/Tripods & Triplanes. However, this year, there will be a demo game of Battlestar Galactica - Starship Battles.

    Cards to hand out at this event:

    I will be bringing printed versions of the upcoming Viper Mk.VII, the Blackbird Viper, the Raptor, and the Heavy Raider.

    Note: the only one of these that will get on the table is the Mk.VII Viper, as Andrea gifted me his prototype at Prague, and I have the maneuver deck for it, as well as the playtest model.

    And, I will be test-driving the latest version of this: Turn Summary and Rules Index - Version 3.6.0.

    I'm the Nieuport on fire. That actually put me down the next turn, after way too many cards of damage. New player Ben, flying Collishaw's Triplane, flew marveously, and had guns on me at twice the rate I managed.

    I barely survived this fight. At 12 of 15 damage, in the last four turns, I finally managed to roll a 'To Hit' of greater than 5. The target drew double chits that blew him up.

    Another person that has played at my table before, but was willing to try a new game. Possible convert.

    Besides the over-ambitious set-up to demo two games:

    Tripods & Triplanes Game (that nobody actually played):

    This was used for the Talk-throughs, and a really hard-fought dogfight.

    Battlestar Galactica (with Starbuck's Raider):

    A few games on this mat. The last was really tooth & nail, and took a good period of time to finally win.

    And I found these sleeves:

    Which fit the Ship Cards (and Pilot Cards, which are the same size). These are 2 5/8" X 3 5/8" sleeves (Stock #81126). Perfect!
