Some dates to keep in mind and an update on HURRICON 2014 (more information on hmgs-south.com). Tomorrow, 1 Sept, will be the last day for submitting a game for inclusion in the program. Except for session 1 Friday morning there are no large tables left. 5 September will be the last day to pre-register for the convention, pre-register for games (3 selections if you have pre-registered for the con)or reserve your flea market table. Currently there are 130 games on the grid and that does not include tournaments, a new record for HURRICON. We also have a record number of vendor tables sold. We have filled our room block at the hotel (International Palms Resort and Convention Center) but the hotel has agreed to honor the convention rate and waive the resort fee as long as they have rooms available. So make your reservations now and don't get shut out! As previously stated this will be a Cat 5 HURRICON, don't miss it! |

Wow, I just checked the game grid, Awesome. It looks like its going to be a record Hurricon!!!! Tons of great games, lots of good vendors, a special The Sword And The Flame weekend game line up, a killer WWI big table game with custom terrain from Bill Moreno and Paul Robinson commemorating the 100 yr anniversary of WWI, etc…. looks great to me. Cheers JB |

Thanks for the heads up ,will register today . Hope to get a Fleamarket spot as well . Was going to run a TSAF game based on the El Caney battle in 1898 but need a big table . Besides Im a bit behind on knocking out the last couple Blockhouses anyway so maybe I'll just aim for Recon 2015 .Should be a blast as always . Mark |

Which is now Drill weekend, thank you NGB… I hate when my higher command decides to screw the Average Joe and cause issues like this. Thanks to a 100 Million dollar "oops", they moved ALL drill weekends, nationwide to this date. So much for my plan to take a trip to FLA for Herself and I… Eric |

Really looking forward to another great weekend of gaming with my good friends. Jeff Baumal and Nick Zizo are running a Sword and the Flame Wind and the Lion game on Saturday night. This always proves to be the social event of the con. Bob Moon is running his huge Gettysburg game as well as a Chaplin Hills (Perryvile) game. I will be there with my full line of miniatures including Plank Road and Cracker Line and my B Company Magnetic bases. My lovely spouse will be present to help me run my vendor tables while Paul Robinson and I run "Through the Mud and the Blood", our 28mm WWI Cambrai game. It promises to be another great Hurricon!

For those of you trying to register for a room through the direct link and were getting a message that the deadline for the special rate had passed we have worked with the hotel and that is now lifted. You can still enjoy the convention special rate of $78 USD and NO resort fee! This is good only as long as the hotel still has rooms available though as our reserved block has been filled. For those who will miss this one our upcoming dates: Recon 2015 23-26 April Hurricon 2015 24-27 September Recon 2016 28 Apr-1 May Hurricon 2016 22-25 September All scheduled at the International Palms Resort and Conference Center in Orlando. |
