Day 2 of Blog-Con actually started where Day 1 finished, me, Fran Sydney, Mike and Mike's pal (sorry can't remember your name!) went for a beer at the pub closet to Foundry. It was a bit rough and ready, but sold John Smith's Smooth and JD!!!Me and Fran then hit the local Chinese, which was for want of a better word CRAP! Then we both had a really crap nights sleep, Fran kept waking me up for some bloody reason, and then the heard of elephants in the room upstairs woke up and decided to do the Hoky Cokey for 2 hours!!
Anyway on with the show.......................
Pete "PK" started to set his A Very British Civil War game up.
While new arrival Reject BigLee, Richard, Loki, James and myself settled down for
another game of Dave's Cowboy rules.
BigLee-The Man with No Name & Sheriff James
Steak anyone???
This time I was the Pinkerton's and I had a plan!!!
The trouble was so did Loki, who led the Ringo Brothers.
His plan was simple.....Get me!
Loki moving the Ringo bros, while Lee makes sure he's not cheating.
A short interval for other pics....
The Man with No Name moves across the road
Being the Devil he is, Loki opened the gate and started a steak Stampede
Very nearly getting run over himself!
There was a titanic tussle in the middle of the road as Sheriff James tried to arrest Billy the Kid!!!
Strangely Billy the Kid didn't live up to his usual reputation and was shot through the heart!!
Now this was clever, I didn't even notice what the colourful stip was behind
the train, but soon realised it was a map of the inside of the train!! How cool is that??
In the pic are my 3 Pinkerton's , the Man with No Name, a tied up Johnny Ringo and Loki Cowboy who I just knocked out!
Somehow Lee managed to kill all 3 Pinkertons and Loki's cowboys to win the day!!

A quick look at another table, unfortunately nobody had a game with them, they just
sat there looking pretty for the 2 days.
James' ECW collection.
The last game of the day and infact the last game of Blog-Con
PK's A Very British Civil War
Blazing Dave Docherty troops and even more cows!!
The village tea Party
My troops, led by Lord Charles "Budgie" Smuggler
Fran was looking for a Minotaur figure and was presented with one from Mr Foundry himself!!
Lord Charles "Budgie" Smuggler
And his favourite hound Badger.
Mr PK, running through the rules, remember don't get into any melee!!!
Warlord Paul & Chums!
There were 8 factions, we each had to collect as many boxes as we could and try to survive.
I collected a box straight away, as my mainly shotgun armed troops moved through the crops.
Over the hedge I spied Mrs PK's Morris Dancers, practising a jig!
At the top of the pic Fran's IRA (he had to have them) move down the hill.
Carrying on from his "Get Ray" plan in the Cowboy game, Loki heads straight for me....the git!
The 8
Just as he said he would Loki, jumped in a van full of knickers and tried to
run my figures over the dirty swine!
Lucky them and the box dived out of the way.
Me and PK traded a few shot on the right hand side. As Loki upset Mrs PK and shot
and killed one of the Morris Dancers!!!!
A view from Fran's end of the table.
BigLee and Blazing Dave were having their own fight out side of the town. Dave
decided to try and smash Lee's Coppers.
Loki then threw a Molotov Cocktail, and to the Get Ray Gang all cheered
as 3 of my men including the poor Lord Charles "Budgie" Smuggler turn orange and crispy!
Loki then charged and we both lost a few figures in hand to hand combat.
Meanwhile while everyone was concentrating on me and Loki beating each other
up, sneaky James,collected his 5th box, then attacked a Police van!!!
PK troops moved down the road toward his pal Richard.
I hopped over the hedge with the last remnants of my men
Foundry had some really nice rolling hill terrain.
The Morris Men saw their chance for revenge they jumped over the hedge and
charged Loki's troops in the rear!!! Much to my merriment!
And there the game was called, James had 5 boxes to Richard's 4.
Me and Loki only had two figures left each!
And that was the end of Blog-Con 2013. Thanks to James, Loki,, Foundry and all the
Guys n Gals who turned up!!!!
Lastly our Canadian pal Curt was a little confused at to what Budgie Smuggler
were, so I asked a pal to demonstrate
