    Default GenCon 2016

    Hard to believe, but Gen Con 2016 is only 78 days away. I plan on attending again this year and this is where I'll post anything I happen to see and/or learn about Sails of Glory at the Con. So far there are no events listed in the online event catalog, but Ares was late last year in posting events?

    Coincidentally, I have signed up for two Wings of Glory events; Battle of Arras (now sold out) and Wings of War Megagame: The St. Mihiel Salient, which is comparable to the Sails of Glory big event run in past years.

    Ares has managed to get a prime location just inside one of the main door entrances (Booth 141 / upper left of map) and close to the Mayfair folks so I expect their booth should get a lot of foot traffic. Cheers!

    Ares has now posted several Sails of Glory events for GenCon 2016. They're all "Free For All" frigate actions and I've signed up for one on Saturday. No indication that they're going to attempt another record breaking event, which is understandable as they may not even have access to the number of ships required?

    Similar events for Wings are also listed although I've not looked at them (WW1 and WW2). I'm already signed up to participate in a couple of NOVAG events, but the WW2 Wings event is tempting.

    If you're going to Gen Con you may want to check these out? Cheers!
