SoCal Smackdown event.

We were at SoCal Smackdown at the Anaheim Convention Center this past weekend.  In all honesty, it was a bit dead, except for the tournaments that were going on.  This is definitely the convention to go to in order to participate in the biggest tournaments in Southern California.  Malifaux, Flames of War, and Warhammer were in full swing, but the dealer area was pretty quiet.

That all being said, however, I was able to play Brawner's Farm with a really fun player named Doug Thoin, and gave a demonstration to several others.  Plus I got to hang out with the folks from Victory Point Games, whom I highly recommend:

Here's what our booth looked like:

And here was the result of our Brawner's Farm game:

Second Bull Run first print issue

Anyone who got the first printing of the Second Bull Run Battlepack or the 1862 expansion might notice a rather glaring mistake.  AP Hill is shown in the map for setting up the board, but not in the order of battle.  Also, Lawton is named on the map rather than Ewell.

Below is the order of battle for AP Hill.  If you purchased either of these two items, please email me and let me know when you got either of them and I will send you a free new copy of Second Bull Run/Manassas.  My email is: jeff@commandcombat.com

I sincerely apologize for the mistake.  Here is the order of battle for AP Hill's division at Second Bull Run/Manassas:
