1)  Tables & Terrain:
Bob Likins, as the NOVA Lead for this task, faces the daunting job of providing enough inventory to make the NOVA Open self-sufficient in 2012. 

From Chaos to Pink City ~ Painting is Next! 
 
Follow the story HERE & plan to join us at our May builds!

2)  Narrative & Monuments:   
James Watkins and Mike Brandt are introducing Narrative gaming to the NOVA this year. 
 The game will center around a Battle for D.C. and will feature lighted Washington Monuments & Memorials as center terrain on the game boards.  
 Talented staff members, under the Lead of Samantha Watkins, are hard at work 
creating some exceptional replicas!
