Cancon 00

Can someone on the list (Owen!!!) Please let me know what is going on for
CANCON 00 in regards of GZG?

Darryl

We are running a Star Grunt/Full Thrust demo based on a campaign that we
are running in Melbourne. The events will run over the three days with both
games running each session. All models are supplied so all you need to bring
is a warm body, JOLT and $5 a day.

I know there is a Full Thrust Tournament being held (I'm in it) and I
believe that there is a big, 3-day integrated Full Thrust/Stargrunt II
participation demo game being run. Pay $5 per day to play and maybe earn
some GZG-related prizes.  Minis and scenery supplied.

I'm signing off the list now as I have to get home to pack my gear ready for
the drive to Canberra tomorrow. For those of you on this list, I'll see you at
the Con with any luck!

Byeeee.

Hi Darryl,

Well for starters there is a Full Thrust Competition. Details for which I
don't have at hand.

There is also a participation mini-campaign for people who can only
attend one or two days but still wnat a few games.

Here is a repost of what I put to the list earlier this week...

We are really catering for Stargrunt and Full Thrust but the blurb in the
Cancon flyer included Dirtside....fielding the minis is proving diffucult
since we have promised to supply all minis. Don't suppose anyone has 90 Inf
bases and 57 APCs spare???? That's just for the ESU/IC.....OU we have
covered without problems.

Cheers,

Owen

Just another reminder that at CANCON (Canberra Oz, 22 to 24 Jan 2000) next
weekend, we'll be playing out a three day SG and FT participation campaign.
There will be morning and afternoon games and on Sunday evening a big SG game
through the evening.

Those interested can play only one day of the three, two days or the whole
three. We're asking a $5-00 a day fee most of which will go back to
players in prizes (GZG minis actually)for each day.

All miniatures are supplied, any and everyone is welcome and you can register
on the morning of each day if you so desire. This way people who might not be
able to attend the whole weekend can still get some gaming in!

Paul O'Grady has started putting up the background to our mini campaign (from
which the CANCON games will be drawn from) on a web page, whcih can be
found here......

http://www.esperance.homestead.com/home.html

As with most web pages, it is in it's formative stage and will be a work in
progress for most of its life!

We will be putting up battle reports, AAR and images after we get back from
CANCON....

There's also an SG/FT game:

Recalled to Life"

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, It was the age of wisdom,
it was the age of foolishness, It was the epoch of the united nations, it was
the epoch of subordination It was the season of Light Drives, it was the
season of Dark Space,

The Confederates and Unionists again clash in third great solar war as the
peoples of earth stretch out to nearby worlds, seeking freedom, wealth or the
dream of both. Amongst the poor families that have travelled the void, are
many tens of thousands believers from the Independent Commonwealth who have
made land fall on a exploited dirt ball know now as Esperance.

Esperance developed as a source of raw materials for military industries,
consequently soldiers, settlers, and criminals all rub shoulders. A few silent
and near invisible men also haunt this
Out-World. Their dire work for the Commonwealth and its Eurasian
partners is operation of the "People's Re-education Facility". Not even
a rumour exists of this prison which holds political prisoners from every
nation. Its secrets would have been forever hidden had one of it's faithless
curators not found his way back to Islam. The unnamed jailer has set Esperance
on a collision course with chaos, by facilitating a daring escapee.

The Independent hard-line governor has now locked down Esperance system
as a storm of local rebellion builds. He must deal with escapee who no
doubt are tying to contact their kin - who backed by the United nations
are likely unleash a mighty tempest over Esperance. Are they headed for the
only free Star Port left in the system, the Small depot in Kent operated by
the Oceanic Union?

Join the hunt or assist the escapee in a romping stomping campaign across the
Esperance star system using the Full Thrust & Star Grunt rule systems.

There will be up to 7 Stargrunt and 5 Full Thrust games each day over three
days. Figures, vehicles and starship minis will be supplied but feel free to
bring your own. You can register for any or all three days play. Registration
in advance is not mandatory but would be appreciated to help us plan. There is
a nominal charge of $5:00 a day; payable on the day, to cover administrative
costs. There are no prizes but there are 'incentives' for each days play.

Further information is available via email from sneakin@netspace.net.au or
from Eureka Miniatures on (03) 9568 4085.

90 Inf bases? I can manage about that if you'll take GW Epic Space Marines, 5
to a square base. As for APC's, please describe. I can supply that number of
GW Eldar Falcon Grav Tanks. But nothing Treaded that
looks OK, apart from some BMPs, Yz-501s etc.
