@Slip-Capone We played two games of Guadalcanal. Which is super fun and underrated. Introduced Axis & Allies 1941 to a group of first timers. And started a game of Battle of the Bulge but had to pack it up before it was finished.

The Field Marshal Gaming Convention, now in its 7th year, is an annual celebration of tabletop gaming held in Oshawa, Ontario every September hosted by I Will Never Grow Up Games and the FMGCon Organizing Committee.
This weekend long event is host to tabletop games of all kinds, from your traditional (and not-so-traditional, modern) board games, card and dice games to miniatures gaming.
This is a family friendly event that is meant to create a weekend of fun and gaming with friends, old and new held in a historic and atmospheric building.
Come for a day, or come for the entire weekend - in either case, come for the fun of tabletop gaming!
