The games were held on November 20, 1974 in Plainfield, IN.

I have only partial notes on players from the gameday. I do have several photos and from those I know these people attended: Jeff Martin, Glenn Kidd, Tom Meir, Larry Connor, Roger Rhodes, Jeff Bundy, Jeff Tucker, and Chuck Crain. Local gamers Greg Lind and Phil Cagle (who played in Falmurth before the Game Day) visited the event. Approximately 16 people attended.

One table was a game set in Falmurth, a second was set in mythological Earth and the third was set in Middle Earth.

Evil (played mostly by Cincinnati players) took the victory.

Some Falmurth units that appeared in that very first Falmurth game day included:

Vraltorian King’s Guard,

Vykan Imperial Guard,

Vykan Rangers,

Imperial Rhadan Marines,

Rue Lancers,

Rue Scouts,

Xindurbil King’s Ft,

Malkoshan Spearmen,

Malkoshan Chariots,

the orc Red Guard,

the Black Halbardiers,

Jyllaran Missile Corp,

Orcs of the Black Well (notable for the reference rather than the unit),

Syrtax Royal Ft,

Khand Slingers,

and the Goblin Polearms.

Many of these went on to become famous Falmurth units and are still on various Troopsheets.

.

I am probably missing some of the Good units as I am missing the Good OB sheets for 2 of the tables. Though the players were not listed in it, a report on the games was included in my Palantir newsletter of December, 1974.
