A fun day to go shopping indeed!


We also now have 64 paid leaving the next 6 players to pay are in. The rest are on a waiting list.


We have received 47 lists ( well more, but not counting those that changed theirs). Reminder June 30 is the last day to get 5 bonus points.


Rules page was updated here . Nothing really changed, just made some clarifications on issues I was getting asked about.


Thanks to all those that have paid and submitted lists early. Its going to make this smoother going into the last few weeks. I cant express how much I appreciate it.


We are still working on the cook out. It should be a GO. There is a park a couple blocks away that has 24 picnic tables. We just need to find charcoal grills so you guys can eat at the same time. At this time we plan on providing 80 hot dogs and 40 burgers. I might just get all the food and ask for donations to make it simpler.


A big thanks to GW, HobbytownUSA(Hamilton Rd), and The Guardtower for prize support.

Tables and Terrain

Every year I talk about our tables and terrain we use for Buckeye Battles, and this year is no different.

 

Tables

We don't use rolled out fabric or mats for table tops, we use 4x8 wooden, textured and flocked tables. This is to give the players the best gaming experience possible.

 

Take a look at a great example of our game tables below.

Terrain

We have bins of hills, woods, and difficult terrain, enough for every table. This year we are adding a few more buildings and low walls to the mix.

 

These pesky skinks are running roughshod over my workbench and taking cover behind a fieldstone wall. More building pics here.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again this year and don't forget to register.
