Since we started The Demo Gamers back in 2013 we have been helping many new players experience the enjoyment and fulfilment of wargaming. The main system we have used to show newbies how to war-game has been Warlord's Bolt Action rules. They provide a fast, interesting, cinematic World War II war-game where both players are involved in all parts of each turn.
Once we began the demonstration games at Cancon, MOAB and other conventions, the clever fellows from War and Peace Games saw the impact we had with gathering receipts and were able to assist us with supplies to further our efforts. After all, new blood in the gaming community benefits everyone:
- More people to play with
- More clever and fresh ideas brought in to the hobby
- Increased support for hobby stores and suppliers, giving everyone greater choice
- The opportunity to see the bright eyes in players enjoying a fun and challenging game.
This is a win for everyone involved.
Following the success of our recent Boot Camp where we had 16 players of which the majority had never played any wargame previously, the War and Peace team have provided us with more gear with which to get these new recruits started!
Tomorrow we are running our July Boot Camp - where we start with making scenery followed by a game! This time we are in Wingello - home of The Best Hamburger in Australia - with 9 players joining us for a fun day. They'll each get a sprue of 6 figures as well as some scenery to take home.
