Historicon 2011: Day 1, Part 1 - The Haul

   Well, the dealer's room has closed for the evening, and I have a couple of hours until my next game. Thought I would take a moment to share the wonders of Historicon buying goodness. The games are great, but the real draw for me is the flea market (aka Wally's Basement) and the dealer area. The dealers should be happy with my family and friends. Today's purchases include:

• 20x WFB Empire State Troops
• 10x WFB Empire Handgunners
• 10x WFB Empire Pistoliers
• 16x Eureka Terrapins with Spears
• 8x Eureka Turtles with Bows
• 8x Eureka Samurai Rabbits (helmeted, katana, sashimoto)
• 1x Eureka Turtle Tank (+9 crew)
• 5x Parroom Station Masked Minion Diabolical Weaponeers
• 3x Parroom Station Prussian Junior Officers
• 6x Blue Moon Twanax Horde
• 16x Peter Pig Sheep
• 8x Peter Pig, um... Pigs, actually
• 8x Peter Pig British Heliographs (two teams)
• 1x Brigade Games 1924 Model Rolls Royce Armored Car
• 8x Woodbine Designs Armed Schoolboys

• 1x A Very British Civil War 1938 Sourcebook
• 1x Go Forward Together (Disposable Heroes British Commonwealth)
• 1x Primera Batalla (Disposable Heroes Spanish Civil War)

   I think that's it. Total number of figures purchased, both 28mm and 15mm, about 200, plus three vehicles and some bits. And four rulebooks. Not bad for a day's work. About $6-700, I'd say. I gotta reconsider my hobbies. Booze and women of low moral fiber have got to be cheaper...
