Recruits Gaming Convention Pictures

I got to make a trip to Lee's Summit, MO for the Recruits gaming convention at the end of September.  It is held at the local high school so is nice and cheap ($5 for the weekend).  There are a nice variety of games including historical, sci-fi, and fantasy.  There are tournaments and open gaming, but in my opinion the best part is all the game scenarios that people set up and run through-out the weekend.  There are various vendors and a silent auction as well.  I always find a good deal or two.

I have a group of friends that typically attend this event and I have been going to this convention when I can for the past 3 years.  The convention used to be held twice a year; spring and fall, but is now a once a year event in the fall.

I took a few pictures of some of the games at the convention and thought I would share them.  This is not a definitive collection of photos of all the games.

This is a great con to attend if you are close.  I drive a couple of hours to it and it is always worth the trip.

  1. Nice looking con, lots of excitement! The 100YW looks like 7YW or possibly Marlburians to me... Can't see if they've got turn backs or not :D

    Btw, who ran Alpha Strike, I didn't catch that ;)

  2. Sorry, I just copied the comment for all the pictures. And I wanted to be sure everyone knew who ran it. It was me, in case you were wondering.
