He had a GREAT time - when he was winning. In the other games... he burst into tears and conceded the game as soon as he took his first casualty - which I thought was really unfair for the other players - because it was more of a tournament format and they gained Victory Points based on the casualties they caused. I know it also made a few of the players uncomfortable to have a 10 year old boy crying his eyes out across from them... Others were totally patient and just rolled with it. One game I actually MADE him continue when he wanted to concede (after suffering a single serious wound) - mostly because he was WINNING that game - and sure enough two turns later his opponent packed it in... <br /><br />I'll play a tonne of SDD games with him and The Girl over the next month or so and see if I can't get him to chill and not get so attached to those little men! timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-74783421054719034472014-12-22T14:00:10.557-08:002014-12-22T14:00:10.557-08:00This is enough to make me want to get posted back ...This is enough to make me want to get posted back to the prairies in 2015 (Shiloh maybe?) to close enough to crash some of these events. With you and the Fawcett gang and Curt C's mob, there's quite a gaming scene on the prairies.

This could perhaps be a watershed moment...oh bad pun, but it would allow him to play against people you know. I am sure we have all shed some tears when things have gone horribly wrong, at least until we could have a beer or 2.<br /><br />Looking forward to the weekend!

The Boy is a sensitive lad (not unlike his dad was) (er... IS...) and tends to get a little overwhelmed in large crowds and/or noisy places. Also he has at times been prone to tears when things haven't gone well for him - and excessive mirth and gloating when things are going well... He has, I must say, gotten a LOT better over this last year - especially with the boardgames. But there have been two episodes in recent memory (one with a role-playing game, the other as I set up a game of Song of Blades and Heroes) - in both cases he burst into tears at the sight of what he percieved to be insurmountable odds and wailed and complained viciously that I "was going to KILL THEM ALL!"?<br /><br />ToonCon's a long way off though... so we shall see... <br /><br />My more immediate concern is whether to let them play in the Song of Shadows and Dust campaign at my Wargaming Birthday Bash.timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-5225146534299360182014-12-22T06:34:55.538-08:002014-12-22T06:34:55.538-08:00Always take the Boy.
