Ocala Garrison gathering July 19th!

Chris and I took a road trip up to Ocala (about 1.5 hours) to bring some Bolt Action gaming to the group. First I took my friend by my office where I worked and down the road to an Army Surplus store (not open when we arrived at 7am) and we walked around outside....

Dalmier Scout car, in pretty bad shape, rust was eating it up and could use some paint to make it look nice at least while it sits out front. 

Not sure of the Artillery but cool. My friend took shots of me making like I was shooting it or yelling ease as it was firing!


After being lost, as I forgot the directions and neither of us have a smart phone (yea we are old farts that don't  update to new technology) we find the library where they were to meet and we got inside. We setup the table in record time and was ready to roll!

Dead!

All in all, everyone had a good outing and seemed to have a good time. A few of the guys about half through the game wanted to play on the Slaughterloo game. It looked like a nice game and they seemed to have a good game there as well. We had X-wing later and also some boat game, Dystriopen wars or something like that with steampunk boats blowing up one another.

  1. Nice report. Table all looked great and sounds like you all had a hoot.

  2. Great report, looks as though you may have some new recruits. The gun at the surplus store looks to be the dreaded German 88mm anti-tank gun.
