Hi all,
We have been working on establishing a club at Brooklyn Tech High School since late last year. The faculty is all for it, and when pitched to the students, over 50 signed up as being interested. The problem is the location. Brooklyn is over a 2 hour ride from our regular crew in Connecticut, and not much better for the NJ crew. So Dave and Andy Waxtel made the trip for Next Gen from NJ.
This game was a 15mm Napoleonic scenario. I’m pretty sure I painted that church with the red roof for Dave about 20 years ago. That’s scary.
According to Dave, these 8 kids had never played anything like this before. Brooklyn Tech is known for its quality students, and these kids picked up the rules and tactics with no problems at all.
While I think the desire for the school is to have weekly meetings, it looks like Dave and Andy will at least go monthly, until I can figure out some reinforcements.
There’s a lot going on this week, so more reports coming.
