Here is a collection of the games from the first day of Activities Week. I couldn't keep up with the action as there were lots of rules questions. Luckily only one student decided to try ruining it for the others by cheating.

ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't believe how proud it makes me to see Horizon Wars being used as an accessible, low-cost gateway to the hobby for kids in an educational setting. You couldn't have more perfectly captured my highest ambition for the game (other than making me fabulously wealthy beyond measure, obviously).
ReplyDeleteI am glad I can be part of that. The moments where you see in the eyes of a 12 year old boy that he gets it, when he realises he has to send some elements around the flank, when he tucks a heavy infantry element in a hard to shoot spot on the objective were special. Watching their excitement when they walked into the room and saw five battlegrounds set up, the likes of which they have never seen before. When they were chasing their final kills to win the game. It was juSt brilliant.
