    Default Lone Star Game Expo - Grapevine, Texas Sep 30-Oct 2, 2022

    I had a great time at the Lone Star Game Expo gaming convention this year! It was held on Friday September 30th through Sunday October 2nd. This was my first gaming convention and first Wings of Glory gaming event hosted since February 2020 (pre-COVID)!

    There were two teams of four players each (Central vs. Entente). A few players left during the three hour session, but they were quickly replaced by others who were standing by, so all planes kept fighting the entire battle! Players were allowed to fly back into battle after being shot down after waiting for one full turn.

    It was back and forth the entire game and the winning team wasn't decided until the very last turn! 😮 The Entente went down by one when Captain Biggles (aka Brown) made a dangerous and ill-fated maneuver to try and even the score that was too much for his heavily damaged plane to handle...and down he went for the Central Powers victory clinching 7th kill!

    Central Powers = 7
    Entente Powers = 5

    See if you can find Captain Biggles photo bombing one of the pictures below...and there are a LOT of pictures! 😉😀

    A very good example of how a game can be run over a whole day without players having to commit their whole time to it.
    Well done Mike.
