likes the look of the Soviet KV-1 tank, and plunges into a project to paint three of them - plus a spare KV-2 turret!
...among many other games.
In other areas of the convention were scheduled games of all sorts, with Munchkin being among the most popular. There was also a very active computer gaming room filled with a variety of gaming consoles and computers loaned by convention staff or volunteers. There were several tournaments with the winners being awarded dealer dollars for use in the dealer room.
Sadly, I will be missing the next convention - Gateway, in September - because I will be on a cruise, but I plan on attending Orccon in February. Strategicon's events aren't nearly as big as the southern California Gen Con event, but they are not eclipsed by that event either.
