Here's to them what are like us. Damn few and they're all dead.
Tim?
Great bunch of games and people!
I just couldn't take Jim's snoring anymore. I snapped and put an end to it. Tim didn't try to stop me so I took it as a yes.
great photos people. Keep having a good 'un
Great to see so many familiar faces - a proof that this game is not something you play a year and then replace

See you on the Dark Side......

so glad you didnt opt for something, uuuhhhh, more permanent lol.
Oh Lordy, Lordy - Is that Boom card Tim is so joyfully displaying, the result of a collision? If so, I'm so relieved somebody else did it this timeWell, Tim is here and, well, we seem to be having a good time, I think. Not totally sure.

Nice bunch of photos - Looking forward to seeing more
It was great to see everyone at Origins this year -- it has been too long!
Not everyone recognized me because I let my hair grow out during the pandemic and decided to keep it that way.
That's quite a difference Ann, you can plait it for a pirate look now, m'hearty !

Are there any pilots due for awards for the show this year? If so will the chaps who ran the games please put them in for their medals on the requests link and I will authorise them.

Will do Rob. I have all the names of people that played in all my games and will go through the rosters and pass it on to you.
Thanks Pete.

I think we had a very successful second Harry Paul Materne III Memorial Tournament. We had 17 participants ending with Phillip (Milcoll73) winning by 1 point!
The winner!
showing off his prizes, 2 Drachens painted my malachi and a kill coin.
Here is a partial lineup of the participants and helpers. Some had fled before I could get the photo.

OI!Perhaps a Purple Heart for your good self for having to listen to Tim ZZZZZZZZZZ
Cheeky!
Where's my Wound Badge, then, for having the same experience listening to Jim's artillery barrage?
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Great pics - really good to put the faces to handles.
If you get one, then I should get two!
After Origins and the Museum tour I visitred Chris (Malachi) who was hosting Pete (Stumptonian). We played a couple non-Wings games and had a load of laughs. Drove home Wed-Thur and am recovering from all the smoke inhalation during the drive. At the moment dealing with home rennovations so be patient. Lots of photos to edit and post. Hope to start soon...

Glad to hear you got home safe.

A few more from the games and a handful from Dayton museum. I have tons more but it's super-slow to post one at a time while the forum software spins so could only do these:
Sails
Tim's Rescue the Raiders
Those pesky Martians
Sails. Frenchmen Robert and Patrick look worried.
The Italians routed the Austrians, Carl plans.
BYOP - Steffi ruled the skies.
Matt Memorial tourney
Congrats to Phil on the win!
Entente tandems run the gauntlet
Final game, SE5a vs D.VII
Museum
Origins Game 1, Martians on the Rampage can be seen HERE.
Lots of good action with the earthlings doing a good job holding off the Martians. Only 1 plane went down as well as one Martian.
While running Martians on the Rampage, over on the next table it looked like Tim was having a go at some poor sod. First game of the convention. Way to go Tim!
Origins 2023 Game 2, Not on My Watch, can be seen HERE.
Albatros DVas from J26 take on N24s from Escadrille N94. One Rumpler tries to cross the lines with the French not going along with it.
Wednesday evening after the official games were over, Chris brought out the Battlestar Galactica. He wanted revenge for last year when I taught him and Robert BSG. Unfortunately he chose sides randomly and Tim and I teamed up as Colonials vs Chris and Pete as Cylons.
Chris jumped in first and took the worst of his exchanges with me. Pete cautiosly approaches us as Tim circles 'round behind.
Where is Pete?
Chris finds himself between Tim and myself. Not a good place for this toaster.
Tim gets the kill shot.
Pete gets to the party a little late and has to tangle with the two of us.
This time I get the kill shot.

Tricksy humans.
Again, great pics and lots of fun
The chits I drew from Chris's bag brought back memories of my shellacking at Peter's place last year.
I hope this means we won't have to hear about how unfair my home made chits in the bag are to you?The chits I drew from Chris's bag brought back memories of my shellacking at Peter's place last year.
Pete, I just noticed you were flying the 'F' ship base, so you were indeed 'F'd!
The first of three Origins SOG games can be seen HERE.
The Glorious 22nd of June
Six captains set sail for fame and glory....unfortunately only three get that honor.
A couple of other games run at this time that I took a quick peek at before setting up for Tim's 'Rescue the Raiders'.
Karl ran an eastern front WW2 game.
Ray ran a Mediterranean WWI game.

Great photos and looks like fantastic games and old friends.
You should join us one of these years Bob!
Tim Hague, Flying Helmut ran a game on Thursday afternoon, Rescue the Raiders. My AAR of it can be seen HERE.
When Tim is involved, mayhem follows!
