Nominated for Origins Awards

Our game, Battleground: Fantasy Warfare, was nominated for an Origins Award in the "Vanguard" category for unique games. As a consequence we're also nominated for the "Gamer's Choice Award" in the miniatures category. It'll be an interesting fight; Battleground is the most innovative game there (for the simple reason that it takes the minis out of minis!) and has gotten tremendous player and critical acclaim (e.g. BoardGameGeek, Tom Vasel calling it one of his top 20 of all time, etc.) but it's also unconventional...and Confrontation looks like tough competition.

If anyone here has played Battleground enough to feel like they can vote, I'd definitely appreciate the support! Awards are absolutely critical for small publishers. (Of course, if you've played but still think something else deserves the vote, that's OK too although it may cause angels to cry.)

Congrats. I've always been really impressed with the ideas behind the game and am currently working on a game that I secretly think of as a cross between Battlegrounds, Shadows Over Camelot, and Settlers of Catan. In short, you're in good company. ;o)

Congratulations and best of luck with the awards (and resulting sales bump). You guys deserve it.

Cheers,
Rob
