AHHHH! MY EYES!!!
Most of the pictures I take at a con are in a hurry, and I really don't know who's in them most of the time. I'm just wandering around shooting. If I were at an historic site or some such that would be different.
It's part of the Struggle for Europe Series. This one, I believe is War Without Mercy. My friend Joe & I played the Kursk Scenario while we were down there.
I picked up Pax Romana while I was down there. I just finished clipping the counters! Now I just need some time to play it...
In his defense, he didn't want to do it, but was pushed into it by CBS:

- These are the 2006 photos that are on my laptop. Not sure I have much of any 2007 photos, but if I do they're probably at home. I do have one or two video thigh, any way to post those?

No they're not, not Super Bowl winners. Some members of the defense need a major attitude adjustment too, especially about standards and excuses.
