this was the first event that i have travelled to attend, and it was fantastic! a great, laid back atmosphere, games running constantly and fellowshipping at its finest.
i thank all who were involved in putting this event together and seeing it through, and i want to congratulate all of the event, skills competiton and customizing winners.
this was great for me because i had the opportunity to play different rules sets. i didn't win any games with my 1926 navy midshipmen national championship team (
),
but i do not care about that, that's not why i was there. i went to have fun, meet some of the people that love this hobby, and maybe, if i payed attention, learn a few things.
some thoughts:
1)never go to play mf and leave your qb and kicker at home
.
2)jimbo's arena football field is crazy fast, and smooth as silk. the rule set is great, and it is a fun, very fast paced game.
3)michigan joe allore is a fantastic customizer, a great player, and a great person as well.
4)there are a lot of talented, creative people in this hobby. i was in awe at the level of detail and craftsmanship displayed by everyone! i am proud to be a part of this great hobby experience.
5)i am definitely going to have to put together an ohio state team for these types of events. i just cannot let michigan and mich st be represented w/o the buckeyes in attendance
.
thanks to everyone who purchased figures, hopefully i will have a new batch, coming soon...
jimbo, i hope that the armed forces event will keep happening. i love the rule-set, if we decide to do a college season here in the spring, i may have to implement your rules for it. they are perfect for a college style of play.
it was greaat to meet everyone, i will DEFINITELY be attending this event again!
here are a few pics.
