It was awesome, huge turnout (38 people?) driving in from all over Texas. Tabletop is a great new store. Was happy that the Hexfleet was able to take Best General!

But I will add just as a gentle nudge that the event was significantly more fun and diverse thanks to being able to take more than 2 detachments, haha.

Hey, we are flexible The local crowd wanted 3 detachments, they are the heart of the event, we are happy to oblige =)

Sounds like a killer event, tell them to please send in the results so we can log all your ITC points! We look forward to seeing you at the big event!

My concerns are more base in nature. Will there be a bar in the convention hall? Are we looking at cheap Shiner?

Tickets bought.

Haha, awesome!

I'm thinking about going, but I also want to visit a friend while down in Austin. Is it free to just be there and spectate or would he need to buy a badge just to get in and hang out?

Reecius, I don't see a list of vendors but be aware of a person who failed to deliver on a kickstarter and is from the Houston area. Robert Mims', "The Mini Box" is more than a year overdue. Robert admits to having the product in his possession and has promised to ship on multiple occasions but has only delivered to backers in the Houston area who met him personally. He also took additional funds from backers via paypal for "expedited" shipping but never mailed anything.

Numerous backers are currently investigating legal recourse in the matter.

I don't anticipate him trying to shop his wares at Wargames Con but thought it wise to cover our bases and make you aware.

I'll be registering for this and ATC this Friday !

@Requizen

We hope to see you there! There is a Con Badge to come in, which gets you access to vendors, $2 Beers, and lots of fun socializing!

@Agnosto

Thank you for the heads up. We will be aware of that.

@Dozer

See you there, buddy!

Reecius dont forget about the arm wrestling contest !

FNP Wargamers (Johnathan, Andrew and T.J.!) will be there!

Can't wait to see everyone there! Going to be a blast.

Reecius, if I buy a con ticket and you have open 40k tables available, will you allow open gaming on sat and sun?

Their were open 40k tables last year, dont know if that means anything for this year tho.
@Reecius... If your going to be attending, and there is some open time, could I challenge you to a game?

Hi Reecius !!! We can still use existing SM codex for GT right ?

Dozer Blades, Reece will have the official answer but it stands to reason that since the SM codex is being released a month before the tournament that the new SM codex will be used. We'll see though, they might do a 3 week release schedule like the Mechanicum and then the codex would be released a week before the tournament, lol.

That's cutting it really close. I spoke with Reecius I am attending so I'd have one last opportunity to play my BikeStar... And it's obviously less than a month.

Something makes me think you'll want to go with the new codex, BBF

We will allow both books to be used, as we always do in this type of scenario.

Just be SURE to notate on your list if you are using the new or old book, please.
