Yes they will.

Can't wait it such a great convention, the quality of the games is outstanding.

We are so spoiled having three Historicon terrain winners hosting games regularly.

We have Richard Borg running and play-testing.

Bill Madison play-testing Fleet Admiral second volume now too.

time.

I'd be interested in Space Hulk, as long as it isn't session 2, but why not post it on the game grid, and make it official?

PapaSync21 Mar 2014 5:11 p.m. PST

It definitely would be first ed.

Game grid (PEL) continues to expand and now up to 110. And that doesn't include the board games we will once again be hosting. Something for almost everyone.

Game grid and pre-registration will be closing out on 7 April so still time to submit your game and pre-register for the convention. Save $10 USD off registration at the door.

Marc, I see that Mark Panko is doing a Command and Colors Starship game. Do you know how to contact him about the rules and cards he uses?
Thanks Clif

Bill, the terrain and figs look great, as alway! I'm signed up for that one.
Cheers,
JB

The first time or two you play one of Bill's games it can be a bit jarring. When you first arrive and the table and figures are in their starting positions you feel you are looking at an amazing museum diorama. You get the feeling, like when you were a kid, if you reach over and touch anything someone from the museum will wander over and at the best berate you for touching the exhibit!

Fortunately Bill not only encourages you to move the figures he runs some of the most player friendly games around. One reason his games are always packed and just another fine example of the outstanding GMs at our conventions.

ACWBill27 Mar 2014 4:39 p.m. PST

Thank you gentlemen. Let's be sure and share a recreational beverage at the con.

coolyork27 Mar 2014 7:45 p.m. PST

Games keep coming in. Looks like with next update up around 120. Folks are reminded only a week to go until we close out the game grid and pre-registration. Registration closes on the 7th so 6 April is your last day to submit.

John Sowerby01 Apr 2014 9:37 a.m. PST

Even better,we are now up to 132 games and tournaments on the game grid, with only 6 days left before pre-registration closes.
