In Roma Wargame 2017 I found this arena for gladiators made by Renato Pacotti. It was built appositely for Ferrum et Gloria. Here some photos about its realisation.

The first of a new series of Roman wargame conventions, we hope. A new location before used for railway modelling fairs. And the new proposal for a convention that could call people even from outside Rome. This was exactly a year ago, in these days of 2018 the second edition instead.

A large game of Khartoum hosted by ARSM club. It lasted for the two days of the convention. I conducted some Mahdist forces to glory. I stole most of the photos by a photographic report by Giuseppe D’Aprile. I was too busy to take photos.

A walk around other tables at the convention.

We were in a corridor. The gym hall was for a fair about military stuff, stamps, medals, postcards. In the next edition the wargames will be in this hall together with some miniature vendors.

Hellana is one of the most important wargame convention in Italy. I go there almost every year since 2004. And as Ganesha Games we have one or more tables where to present new games and to distribute our stuff. What to say more? Look at tables, games and miniatures. At the end new Mirlinton production.

Damon went to visit his Ganesha Games colleagues here in Rome for two times from Malaysia, at the end of 2016 and at the start of 2017. Here in the photo a cocky Roman seagull saw during his tourist visit.

Here we are in ARSM club headquarters for some playing. Together with us Damon’s wife and Luca with his two hooligans. Rogue Stars and Run from the Dead on the menu.

Some time after, and some degrees up, at my home for more playing. And to test Star Eagles with 3D printed ships.

Every year we can have our Roman wargame convention in spite of logistic problems. In the 2016 we were guest in locals under a large technical school. We had a lot of tables with Gothic Wars, zombies, WWII, Star Wars, Gundam and other delicacies. As Ganesha Games we propose Rogue Stars and Faustus Furius.

As addendum some reenactors showed us Viking and Medieval times.

After a walk around of Miniature Island in Games pavilion is the time to show some miniatures among all those around.

In the first stance how not to show this marvellous scenario by Torriani.

An harbour and a goth WH40k dungeon by those crazy people that demo games with an high alcohol rate in their blood.

Mounting of one of Genovese’s miniature dioramas.

Masters of Universe painted by Sfiligoi.

WWII.

Medieval heady times by Sartori.

Kallamity stuff at his stand.

X-Wings miniatures pimped by Nano Nefasto.

Some miniatures painted and built for contests.

We are inside a large area called Miniature Island, a place for playing with miniatures and learn how to paint them. It is a large area but only a little portion of what Games pavilion is and nothing compared to the entire Lucca Comics & Games.

Here a picture with the best of Italian wargame rules writers: (left to right) Torriani, Sartori, Cavatore, Sfiligoi.

Not to forgot other pillars of Miniature Island as our painter crew, Clan Conan chaps, and all other people involved in the area. We are all beautiful and dedicated people.

Time travel again. Here we are at Lucca Comics & Games 2016. I have got a pile of photos took in those days and it is good to show them to you because there are a lot of interesting things to watch.

As I said before, this is the biggest convention for Comics, Games, Cosplay and related items here in Italy, and the third in the World. I’m part of this great mess every year, together with Andrea. We show Ganesha Games publications and run some demos for people. I brought Faustus Furius with me.

Andrea problem is what to bring because every year he has always new games. This time was the turn for Rogue Stars, Run From the Dead, and Advanced Song And Blades mastered with Masters miniatures.

He was not happy with only 3 games, so in an “after Lucca” night moment he mastered a session of his High Stakes for the best of Italian role player writers. We never sleep.

Here the last supper of Lucca together with Nano Nefasto. But this is only the begin. In the following 11 posts I will show you ordered by theme other aspects of Lucca. Enjoy.
