Got back from Historicon on Sunday. I had a vacation day yestrerday so I did not update the thread.
Wow what a convention. A different crowd but really a lot of fun.
It was well run, organized and everyone seemed to be having alot of fun. It was very easy to get distracted at the flea market, huge vendor's hall and numerous displays.
I was able to walk up and play a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Besides that I spent most of my time in the vendor's hall (it was more like a wharehouse), flea market and walking around checking out several different games.
If you like you history I highly recommend this event. I played mainly 25mm games and was able to catch up with alot of old friends who I used to game with.
Some of the painting diplays were beyond description. I also found a really neat resin casting of a trench system. I was able to purchase for a great price enough flock, static grass for a Mars board (modular) I would like to work on for the next Talamania.
They also had alot of Gale Force Online items buy one get one free. The pictures on the website (Historicon) do not give it proper justice.
Next year it will be held in Baltimore (convention center). I am trying to swing going to Cold Wars early next year.
