We will be having a meeting at 11am on the 28th. This will be open to the membership and public in general. So, if you did not make last week’s meeting, this is your time to see the ideas and plans for this years NashCon.
We will have gaming after the meeting. Large WWII 20mm game, 40K, Warhammer, Mordhiem, FoW, and boardgaming.
4525 Harding Rd
Please email me if you need help getting to the location, or if you would like to run a game.
Be on the look-out for next month’s meeting.
Here is the poster for Nashcon. Please download this and post it at your game store, boy scouts’ meeting, school history department billboard, break room and so forth!
Be sure to select print to fit instead of full size if your printer does not bleed to the edges (most printers don’t). It is 300 DPI so should look great when printed at full resolution on photo paper!
Coming soon to this website will be posters you can print up (8×11) to help advertise Nashcon locally at your club or game store! We also will be running some banner ads. If you have a site and would like to help up those banners are below. If they are not the right size, but you still want to run a banner for us, let me know in the comments what dimensions you prefer and I’ll make a new one. Resizing often leaves bad artifacts. Many thanks to everyone who has put the good word out for Nashcon 2012 already!
Leave comments and questions below. Enjoy!

Please note the NashCon Support Group will have gaming after the BoD meeting starting at 11am. This is to help game masters play test games for this years NashCon, however any person wishing to run a game can, but table space is limited. Please let us know if you will be bring a game so a table can be set up. We will have 40K and Warhammer games, and the Boxer game is still TBD.
Few of us were surprised by the news, but the Cool-Springs Marriot in Franklin, TN was recognized as an outstanding meeting facility.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving there is a regular get together, lately held at Wargames in Nashville, called Turkey Wars. It’s a game day open to all. This year about 15 people showed up for a variety of games. I’m including a few pictures I took with my phone. I ran the first game that pit the players against a mutant hoard trying to take over The Science Building of Middle State Technical University (MSTU!). It was a blood bath. No humans survived. It was a close one at the end. Though badly beaten the humans made a valiant attempt to retake the Tech Room. The most hopeful moment was when Percy Fitzwater, the somewhat nerdy boy genius busted into a room, killed the mutant there, repaired the combat robot and set out to take out more. Alas he was quickly taken down. One robot did manage to take out 4 of the 5 leader mutants but it wasn’t enough. The almost endless numbers of mutants washed through the building like the implacable Pacific tsunami leaving only destruction in their wake.
The second game was a meeting engagement with Union and Confederate infantry companies in a meeting engagement, cut off from one another until close range. The Confederate Left Flank took it in the chin but managed to rally the survivors only to see the Right Flank folding like a napkin. The Union took some damage but had enough squads in good order to run off the survivors.
Both games were great fun! Check out the gallery below!
