Any Dakkanauts planning on attending?

Registration opened today.

And here is the Preliminary Events List.

Cool tshirts this year:

I will be there! I love historicon I wish I had more money and I would leave there with more stuff every year

I went from 2003 - 2007, when it was still at the Lancaster Host.

I used to run Hoplon Demos (when I only had four armies), and play DBA.

If I was braver, I would have entered one of the FoG tournaments when they were still being run.

I wish that I had the money to even go.

I will be there all day Friday and Saturday!

I really want to go to this but not sure I want to make the drive and pony up the cash for the hotel and the inevitable impulse buys.

Would be a shame to miss it though.....

Dang -- that's a seven-hour drive! If you do it, you had better be okay with spending money. I think getting deals would be the only thing to tempt me considering all that time in the car.

Yeah it's a long way. Plus I would probably get my fill in a day.

Maybe my friend will talk me into. Until then I'm just gonna attend vicariously through your pictures.

Used to go all the time when it was in Lancaster.
Maybe I will make the trip this year.

I'm running a DZC game on Thursday night and a BFAS game on Friday night

Oh neat, the Siege of Vienna one? I will try to stop by for sure.

Yup, should be fun!

I'll have Konrad and Tomas from Wargamer (the publishing company) playing as "team captains" for each side, and they might have a few giveaways to hand out too

Wow sounds great -- I have their Ottoman starter, alas, basically new in the box still.

I've always wanted to go to this but have never gotten the chance. It would be nice to go to a con where I'm the optimistic young whippersnapper at least judging from the year round nonstop grognardiest grognard comments I've ever seen on the internet over on TMP about the event.

If you go, take pictures!

TMP ... it's a wonderful source on information but try to take some of the tone with a grain of salt.

Where is it?

Always wanted to play historicals.

Frederickburg, Virginia

July 16 - 19

we should have a Dakka meeting where we can all stare at each other and mumble stuff and then head in different directions

I think osprey is putting Frostgrave out early at Historicon.

Don't think I can wait for it much longer.

I will be there playing games and selling in the flea market. I haven't missed but one since 2007. Great times.

You know which day at the market and what stuff you'll be bringing to sell?

I'm in the flea Thursday, Friday and Saturday am. I will have Warhammer 40k, War Gods, historical rule sets and books. lots of different wargaming odds and in's. Robotech stuff and 28mm samurai. Hope that helps.

Dang I won't be there til Friday! Let me know though if you feel like pre-listing stuff that I can make an offer on (and just pick up from your car, etc)
