What points level are you working with?  And Other than French and Ottomans, who's fleets are expected?

[Last Rites]

Haven't brought the full FSA force out in a while. Also got some new wares for them to try out...Not sure what time the Game Vault closes but would really like to get in a 1000 - 1200 point game in if folks have the time. Confirming availability of the Ottoman and French players.

If proper permissions are received from the Spousal Unit, I can field 1250 in Covenant, Blazing Sun, and Prussians.

I will be finishing up GENCON in Indianapolis. Ahh well.
Nothing super, DW-wise, going on. A fair amount of Firestorm Armada though. The Warstore is here, lots of DW but few of the new box sets, and almost all of them the armors BGs.

Let's get a report when all is said and done!

Shooting to be at the GV round noon.

I may or may not be there myself.  If I do come, I'll probably come w/ Antarctica.  Any point values welcome; I've been away for too long.

[Long Nine]

I don't think playing a smaller point game will be a problem.

[Cave Johnson]

Okay, so it looks like I won't be coming after all.  But one day..... I will return!

So, how did this go?
GENCON was more work than it was worth. But very interesting. The WarStore was there with lots of DW box sets, but nothing I needed. I did two demo games that went well enough. Players were supposed to have played before- some did. Spent a good while going over the rules. Shoulda known better. Saw/did some Firestorm Armada- seems easy compared to DW and Uncharted Seas. Kinda like Uncharted Seas. FA was OK, probably better than what I saw.
Played something called Starmada, that can use any mini set- (including FA) just make up stats for them. Kinda Like Full Thrust from what I hear.
Some cool accessories, lots of COSPLAY and some decent historicalesque miniatures (Orc's Drift, to modified Chainmail rules- played really well.) The other DW demos were the RC against the Invaders- RC rolled poorly and was slaughtered. And another pitting the RoF against a bevy a old school movie monsters- Godzilla, etc. I didn't get to see that one. That is what appeals to a GENCON audience.
