NagoyaHammer 2018 - After Action Report
Posted: Tue May 15, 2018 1:35 pm
Well, NH2018 is over and I've had a couple of days to recover from it.
First of all, thanks to everyone who attended. I hope that you all enjoyed yourselves and the games you played. It was great to see everyone, catch up with you and chat about your adventures on the tabletop. Turnout on day 1 was good, though with day 2 being Mother's Day, I can understand why it was a bit quieter.
I'd especially like to thank ToD and Kojibear. Without these two fine gentlemen going out of their way to drag my stuff to and from the venue we wouldn't have had half as much terrain to play on. Thank you!
I only got to play one game this year, mainly due to my own curmudgeonly behaviour and refusing to play 40K. Pikey led the charge in trying to get me to play, but he wasn't all that convincing. Several times he told me, "You really should play 8th edition." Though he always followed that with, "...but I'd rather be playing Bolt Action."
In the week leading up to the event I didn't get much sleep, so playing games would probably have finished me off anyway. It was great to see all your armies on the table though. There were a few WIP forces which are coming along nicely, some old classics and some I hadn't seen before. In my humble opinion, Pikey's army of Raven Guard deserves a special mention. It is an absolute thing of beauty. Hopefully we'll get to see even more painted models next year.
Terrain was a small issue, though again, thanks to the efforts of my chauffeurs, we seemed to have enough variety for playing on. I did panic a little when half of the tables vanished as the players only attending day 1 packed up though. I'll always do what I can to provide terrain at events I run, but I do appreciate people bringing along what they can. Thank you to those of you who brought things both big and small.
So that's it for NH2018, now I have to start planning for NH2019. I hope to see you there.
