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.

Time travel. There were two more Romics editions after this one. Always the same story about backlog of posts. However we had fun at time. It is the excuse to buy comics, gadgets. And to taste strange foods and drinks from Asia. And to watch beautiful female cosplayers. We visit Romics during an entire day from the open to the closure, always in the less overcrowded day.

Due to Romics links with Japan we had the visit of Yoshiyuki Tomino, the man behind Gundam.

At the end an image of my friend Paolo together with his nephew, a eclectic cosplayer.

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.

Why to play with something high only 15, 20 or 28 millimetres? You can have real uniforms and gears of war at bargain prices. The only thing to do is to frequent one of the fairs on the theme. This one is in Aprilia.

After we went to Piana delle Orme to visit their military shop. So we could spice up our wardrobe.

As every year the last post of Lucca Comics & Games is dedicated to cosplay. Here only a small idea of what you can find, with photos took by me and others stolen from the web because I am involved in Miniature Island and cannot walk around too much, especially to watch beautiful girls.

At the moment I’m waiting Lucca C&G 2018 but I have to still show you what I did in Lucca C&G 2017. Yeah, due to virus in my websites I had to stop my blog activity in 2017. So we still time travel for a long period of time but at the end of the year we will reconstitute a synchrony. But this is only important if we want to have updated informations. There is Twitter for this, so enjoy this blog for its contents without any matter for when they were.

I showed close-ups at the most on particular subjects. Now is the turn to watch some views of Lucca and his habitants in the 50th year of the convention. Always a partial view, but it is something at least. The eye of the camera is so small that cannot reproduce hundred of thousand people that walk around Lucca and that are involved in this world.

At the end the new fashion of 2016: barriers against death by car terrorism.
