GenghisCon 2015
Stephan:
Greg and I were discussing options for events at Gen his and I thought I'd open it up to the forum to brainstorm.
I was thinking a relaxed, round-robin style tournament with awards for sportsmanship and painting as well as best general. Ideally, I'd like to have a DW tourney and a FSA tourney on separate days, followed by some kind of event for experienced players only.
For the DW tourney, I was thinking we'd stick to Air and Sea. Maybe 1000 pts each. I'd like to use scenarios with specific objectives as well so it isn't just line up and shoot.
Thoughts?
Landlubber:
Agreed on an event for "experienced players only". I think that could go for both systems. And for DW, I would say yes, let's stick to air and sea.
Instead of a round robin-type tournament, I was thinking something more along the lines of simpler games to introduce people to DW or FA. These could certainly be scenarios--harbor defense, convoy escort, etc. Maybe we could reserve awards for the "more experienced" game?
But, the con goes for a few days, so we have plenty of options. We could do familiarization games in the morning, with something more serious in the afternoon/evening.
But whatever we end up doing, I'm all for running both game systems at GenghisCon. I'm also toying with the idea of running a few iterations of the Firefly board game, but I'm not sure yet.

I'm up to help support anything. And I promise to have at least one FA and one DW faction painted up. Don't want to embarrass myself at a con like that.

You heard it here first, folks. Mark is promising to paint up two fleets in the next 5 months. :)
All joking aside, I have some serious painting to do myself between now and then. It helps to "sell" the game to potential new players if the models are painted up. Ideally, I'll have my FSA and French done by then, and possibly my Chinese and the RSN for Firestorm.
Stephan:
I'm nearing completion of the Aquans. Need to finish my frigates and SRS tokens, then paint the Hydra.
For the con event, I'd be open to some simple scenarios, but I wanted to do more than just demos, which is what it will turn into if we don't call it a tourney.
Also, I contacted one of the Spartan Vanguards a while back to inquire about tournament rules. I'll ping him again to let him know we're looking at a con event in Feb.
