Man, this was fun, too bad I did not see the regular crowd from the BFG days there. The games are super fun and who know you might expand your gaming minds some. Plan for next year, you wont be disappointed.

MillCon is deffinately more of beer-n-pretzels type of convention. Not too many tournies, but a lot of smaller demo type games. You don't have to bring anything in order to play as EVERYTHING is provided - rules, minis, dice, ect. I typically go in order to play games I am interested in or would never actually play on a regular basis. Reaper usually host a game or a free paint-n-take. Very friendly for teenaged wargamers, too.

I am playing some Gearkrieg on Friday night, followed by realistic/post-modern era SciFi hosted by Mike Wikan, some Napoleanics on Saturday, and runnin' and gunnin' in 1970's Rhodesia with Marty Wolverton's game. Sunday is going to be a hoot if I game instead of shop as I'll be hunting the white whale himself - Moby Dick.

There is a good mixture of modern, SciFi, fantasy, horror and historical games available. I think it is like $30 for the weekend, $20 for Saturday - and there are a couple of 40k demo games - a 250pt infantry only battle and a tank demolition derby.

If you've ever wanted to play something like a Zombie game or Napoleanic sale or modern stuff, this is a good time and place to do it. One year I got to do a "Charlie's Point" game based on the helicopter assault from the movie Apocolypse Now. Darby, the host, had a replica game board made from real arial photos of the movie set - was pretty cool.
