Folks,
I will be running a multi-player Federation Commander game at this years Texicon. The scenario is Combat Rally and features the Starline miniatures on a 8' x 8' playing surface.

No experience necessary; will teach! Very Happy

Texicon 2011 (http://www.texicon.net) runs from May 20 - 22, in Ft Worth, Texas. See the website for registration and hotel information.

Note that the Federation Commander event is listed under miniature games.

Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.

Yeah, I can remember two or three months ago spending one whole staff meeting arguing that "We can squeeze a trip to texicon into the pre-Origins schedule" and being laughed at. Turns out, they were right and i was a wishful thinker.

Post Convention Report

The setup of TexiCon 2011 was well done; the game rooms were all close together and the table density was good - you could move around but still have lots of playable space.

For the two Federation Commander games, I had a good sized table (10' x 6') which accommodated both 4' x 8' star-field game mats with enough room to display the ships. For the two sessions, I had only 1 player pre-register and he was a no-show. The first (morning) session didn't have any participants but overall attendance was light. The second (evening) session had 3 players, 2 old SFB'ers (pre-Commander's Edition players) and 1 current FedCom player. They enjoyed the scenario (Combat Rally) and spent a good 45 minutes after the session discussing the changes between FC and the old zip-lock game.

Turn out for the entire convention was moderate for Dallas, but would be considered low for anywhere else. I wonder why Dallas cons are so under-attended (is that even a word?). That being said, it was up from last year.

Thanks for the report and for running the demo. Please remember to do the Ranger "paperwork"!

I really planned to make it to one of the games, but unfortunately I was not able to be there. Sorry I missed it.
