So besides Navcon and Little Wars, what conventions are around the southeastern Milwaukee area (say from Green Bay down to the border and out to Madison in the west)? I thought there was one or 2 little ones in Milwaukee itself? Any coming to the area?

There two that I can think of in the Fall, one is RockCon and the other is NavCon I believe.

Off the top of my head (I have a better list with urls at home; I'll post these later)

Air Con – March-ish; Oak Creek, WI; just around the corner from NavCon; brand new this year
Frozen something or other – Feb; Manitowoc, WI; I think this is more RPG-oriented
RockCon – Nov; Rockford, IL (I know you said SE Wisconsin, but you included Little Wars which is in IL!!)

There's also 1 or 2 mainly boardgame/RPG in the Lake Geneva/Janesville areas.

There is a Fight in the Skies / Dawn Patrol con in the area as well.

Adepticon was earlier this month, in Manitowoc I believe. I didn't go but it sounded pretty good with tournaments of such.

You may want to check out "The Game Store" on S. 92 St. in Milwaukee. It is fantasy, but the owner may know what is happening in the area, even if you are a historical gamer.
