Red Shirt Games, Silent Death

2004 was a big year for Red Shirt Games. It was the second year we had booths at Origins and Gen Con, and it was the first time we partnered with another company to sell goods at both cons. We did rather well atboth cons, running more games than ever and making more sales than ever. Running so many games was not without difficulty. As with all things, the more you do, the more complicated things get. More people meant more personalities, more rides to give, more potential difficulties. It also meant more fun and more potential customers served, and a higher headcount for the people running the cons. Below are some of the photos we took at both cons, including tournament photos and only a few booth babe photos - can it be? I guess I'm getting older every year.

What it looked like at Gen Con. We had almost all you can see here - about 4 5 x 10 tables, and one 16 x 16 table.

The far picture is from Origins. Hey, Origins! We liked our space, but Gen Con had a nicer minis hall - can you say carpets and soundproofing?

General Glen's Combat Rules For Toy Soldiers, Second Edition. If you don't have the rule book yet... What Are You Waiting For? Buy it at our store.

Scenes from my Silence The Gun scenario, set on the morning of D-Day. British paras crash their glider miles away from Caen, their target, so decide to take out a gun firing on Canadians landing at Beny-Sur-Mer, a.k.a. Juno Beach.

More Gen Glen. These four shots were taken at the Canadian War Museum in March of 2004. The Silence the Guns scenario was being tested, and I took the opportunity to throw in lots of armor on the second running, just to give our new rules for armor a field test.

Stalin-Grind. A couple of shots from a Christmas playtest of my next Gen Glen scenario - Stalin-Grind. 4 tanks on each side, sprinkle in some foot soldiers, and you've got a cold November day in the Krasny Oktyabr Tractor Factory!

KWYK "Keep What You Kill". A new format to teach the game to new players. Set up across from your opponent. On your team, nine other players, each controlling 5 Gladiators. The goal: bring death to your enemies, and collect them as trophies. We had no problem getting lots of players to sign up for this one!

Some close-up shots of our KWYK game, featuring some Armorcast terrain with some homestyle additions. The hovertank cost $2.00 at a Buck Or Two store locally. I went back the next day to buy more, and someone else had bought them all. And they have never carred it since.
