Starting back in June Ben and I hosted a small, weekly Bolt Action escalation league at Tyton Games in Villa Park (final results are available).

There were several cases filled with painted AVP miniatures and I was disappointed to learn that they were all for a board… Read More Gen Con 2016 – Board games
