There were some interesting games.
David S discovered why Caeser conquered Gaul in a relatively short time (he must have been using the same dice as Daniel). The fact that Daniel had two steep hills perfectly positioned on each flank of his battle line when David was using HF also helped.

Gaelcon has a new home just outside Dublin city center. This year we will be in the conference center of the D4hotels Ballsbridge Inn on Pembroke Road.
This is an excellent choice as we will have the conference center to ourselves for the weekend including over night for the running late, late night games and events and for those who will be staying up the on site pizza palour will be open until 2am.
So how do you get there and back again?

By bus:

Gaelcon 2009 may be some months away, but the members of the Cabinet of Destruction (a group of dedicated wargamers) are already working on making sure the Miniatures games are the best they've ever been. And we need you! Gaelcon 2009's miniatures games events will present a never-seen-before degree of public interaction with the launch of our games questionnaire, giving you the chance to have your voice heard as to what games will be played in what format.

This is an invitational event for the winners of the pool stages
to determine the overall DBMM league winner.

It will consist of 2 rounds of 400AP using the league armies
used for the pool stages.

Date to be confirmed.

No details yet and date not confirmed but it will probably be this weekend or the next one.
1-day 400AP FOG is the most likely format.
