I didn't plan on going to GenCon this year but due to two major issues I
reconsidered. I had to replace my roof which shot my budget and so I had to
drop Historicon and I need my "CON FIX" or I start to get depressed. I ended
up spending one day at GenCon and only hit the dealer area.

I picked up the Aurora Drop Ship and each attendee was allowed only one (they
punched the GenCon badge). It's a fairly good model and will bring the number
of LST's in the fleet (my friend and I's fleets) up to five. Talking to some
of the people waiting in line, they were purchasing the Aurora as a limited
addition colectors item and didn't even plan on taking it out of the box (this
is a waste of a wargame model in my opinion).

Ran into Dean Gundberg (Starship Combat News) at the Galactic Knights booth.
Lucked out in that I was buying Terran and Entamolian ships and he was buying
Carnivorian and Avian. Didn't have much time to talk but I was impressed by
the number of fleets he had painted (17 by his count). I guess I'll have to
give my Space fleets higher priority in the "to paint" queue.
