@Justegarde ran this a few times at the recent #SDHist Con. Fun times, took a bit to see how to play optimally
An activity that sometimes blurs the line into work is teaching folks how to play board #wargames at the #TheWargameBootcamp. We regularly attend such California cons as #PacificonGameExpo & #SDHist.
The goal is to teach folks how to play #boardgames with a historical flavour aka #consim, #hexandcounter, and various types of board #wargames. Our audience could be newbies, #Grognard, or returnees to the #boardgame hobby. We aim to teach games in an entertaining & an informative manner.

My first cardboard crush were #wargames by such #boardgame publishers as SPI, AH, and GDW. I have dabbled with miniature & computer #wargaming but counters are š
The #SoCalWargamers group meets in Pasadena and uses a Google group to plot our shenanigans. We mostly play historical boardgame wargames aka #consim or #hexandcounter games.
Iām a regular attendee at the #GMTGames #WeekendAtTheWarehouse, #SDHist, & #PacificonGameExpo cons.
Why yes, I am a #CounterClipper too!

More games of JoCo2e (John Company second edition) at #SDHist #boardgame con.
John Company (second edition) was rather popular at #SDHist. Not only was Cole, the designer, teaching the game but multiple games were going on both upstairs and downstairs. At one point we did ask Cole a rules question. He was quick to answer and happy to help us. Unfortunately his assistance was not enough to save the company ;-)
Despite having to brave the 405, and the 5; it was worth it to see a bunch of folks at #SDHist who I have not seen in yonks. Perhaps even play some F2F (face to face) games with them too.
#boardgames
Last weekend was the #SDHist #boardgame convention in San Diego, CA. The majority of games played are historical wargames. I was there as part of the #WargameBootcamp.
We teach folks how to play #boardgames. Our audience are newcomers to the genre, experienced grognards, or returnees to the hobby.
Some folks want to learn specific games, others want to try someone new or different. We aim to be flexible. We react to people's experience and knowledge levels. It's hard work yet rewarding too.
