Why would Matrix go to a board gaming conference?

Shrapnel games went that way and their computer wargames are now hopeless! -

Joe,

Hey, we're all boardgamers too at Matrix. Before the computer, there was still wargaming. [;)]

Dave and Daniel went last year to WBC, had a great time, met great people and found that a lot of our fans also attend this convention. You may have noticed our adaptations of Empires in Arms, World in Flames, etc. [:)]

We will if possible setup the webcam for those eager to watch the stout staff in action. At the very least, we'll post some photos when we return.

Regards,

- Erik

WBC is a great convention and almost 100% dedicated to wargames and wargamers. Don Greenwood is the host of this convention and if his name does not ring a bell you should look at some of your old Avalon Hill games. If you are to young for that then you are truly missing something. I have my two sons Andrew and Nicholas here and they are enjoying it more then ever. The other reason we come here is for a little R&R. For the record Matrix will not be making any board games in the near future it is something we are interested in doing.

Hi Guys

We are back!!!!! MAN what a great con and God willing we will be attending next year as well. Everyone that came by to see us we want to thank you for stoping in. We had a blast with everyone. Its truly a great feeling when so many people tell you how great the games we publish are. I also want to thank our great line of developers and our staff for getting us were we are today.

Erik Rutins and myself got to play three tabletop wargames which I think we really needed. A D-Day card game which was pretty cool and two battles of Memoir 44 a really great game. Memoir 44 is a game and I would say to pick it up if you are looking for something fun and with just a enough historical flavor. Let me say this now before Erik gets a chance to post here.... I beat him in all three games..... hahahaha victory was mine.

Ok now its time to unpack the van and get some sleep for tomorrow.
