Default This was truly an amazing experience...

Now I normally travel with Reg everywhere he goes in efforts to promote our hobby, our league, recruit and most importantly fellowship. I always have fun! However, this time was different. It was better than any tournament or EFL venue I had ever been to before.

We were a part of a venue were electric football was not the main focus. It was War Gaming! These people have a passion for their hobby beyond belief. I spoke with a guy who had painted over 1500 of his figures for his Army. The figures were 3 times as small as the smallest EFL figure. These guys are detailed and extremely meticulous and it took a phenomenol showing from Reg and us to even get their attention. However, we did capture the audience. I mean we put on a show and for these guys to show interest in what we were doing it had to be special. Its almost like asking a guy who plays chess to come play checkers. They are not usually interested. However, we showed them a new wave of electric football that captured their hearts. I mean it was truly a tremendous event.

I'm so use to playing in stadiums that I take it for granted but ff.net stadium was a show stopper. We captured 5 recruits in just one 4 hour session. Reg was at his best this weekend.
