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.

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.

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.
