Well, Just spent the weekend at Historicon and had a blast. I was surprised
that Geohex wasn't there. One had to hunt and peck to find FT stuff, the only
thing I saw on sale was the FT book. No MT or FB. A few vendors
had the full FT mini-line up to the KV and SV. There were some painted
ships for sale. I saw no SG or DS stuff though they were selling heavenly
bodies which looked nice. There was a star wars FT game run thursday night.
On Friday and Saturday I played FT with a friend NSL vs Kra'Vak (I'll AAR that
later). We had two GREAT games. It was Kurt's first actual FT games and he's
now hooked and buying up stuff (as is another buddy).
Much interest was generated by this game. Everyone wanted to paw through the
Fleet Book which is still a rarity here in the US and I gave a lot of
explanations about the new changes and rules. My buddy Kurt and I felt as if
we were doing our SF duty as having the only Space battle at the con! There
was much bitching and moaning (by me too) about where the hell was Geohex or
at least the FB for sale at the con. No shit, at least twenty people inquired
about where they could buy it at the con! I was also happy that my NSL fleet
garned a number of compliments.
The highlight was on Saturday night when Nic from Eureka showed up at our
gaming table and handed me two shiny new OUDF cruiser for testing and
evaluation. I will be putting these beasuties together and seconding them and
their crews to the KriegsRaumFlotte for operational testing against the hated
Kra'Vak. (Especially after thelosses we took this weekend.) We had a nice chat
about things GZG. THANKS NIC!!!!
My only regret is that I can't make it to Gencon...
All the hsitorical stuff was cool too and I spent WAY WAY too much money.
BTWour game club (the Connecticut Game Club) will be having our own Con in
January (Crusades '98) in New Haven, Connecticut (Right in between Boston and
New York). Therte's always plenty of FT DS SG and otehr Sci Fi there as well
as many vendors. I run the CGC webpage with
