Yea. Many no shows, no tourny. 3 from DFW, 1 from St louis. 4 total
attendees. Nice turn out!

Since OKC has no Warrior base yet, I would strongly recommend an event next year
that is Fast Warrior and 15mm. I will no more be able to get new guys down
there for 1600/25mm in 2004 than I was able to in 2003. Once we have a native
Warrior base in OKC, THEN we can begin to ratchet up the types of events.

I would pass along from my now twelve local recruits that 'hey, I'll loan you a
25mm army to get you to play in this event' is a very nice gesture of
friendship, but isn't 'solving the problem'. You can't recruit someone directly
into 25mm unless there is a strong base of players WHERE that guy plays who play
25mm routinely. And guys want to make their own armies, even if ininitially
only FW sized.

As for me, I will skip the other April event next year and so if there is no war
next spring, I should be good for attendance. I will try to recruit other
attendees if the event structure makes sense for new players.

This is partially my fault as I was somehow under the mistaken impression that
there were some OKC native converts scheduled to play. I think the DFW guys are
heroes for trying to get things going in another city some fair distance away
from their own area. But if my newbies are at all representative, no one is
going to be hot to drive four hours to play with someone elses army in their
only 25mm event all year. Just my $.02....

Jon,

Tornado Alley is the regional group that covers the OKC, Tulsa, and Wichita
Falls, and in the past they play 7.6 and DBA (insert multiple cringes here).
The group was about twenty to thirty people strong two-years ago. I have
not hear from them in awhile. I believe they have a website, I will try to
hunt that down for you.

Harlan

I have a bud who is from there but now moved away who has always maintained that
that the ancients there is/was all DBM and 7.6, if played there at one point,
had died out.

No one wanted to support TCon more than I - fresh ground and hard work done last
year by our DFW friends. My personal prob is too many cons/tourneys - 12 a
year, half out of state. April had two this year and I am in charge of the
other one - when it got too hard, TCon was the one that had to go. As I said, I
will not schedule another event in April next year, but I will say again also
that the type of event made it very difficult to recruit newer players - who
remain my focus. One had me as his only means of getting there and the other
veteran planning to attend had work interfere beyond his control. Trust me, it
wasn't for lack of wanting to unleash the Terror of Han... ;)

We'll just keep at it. But any point of contact in OKC would be welcome so
please do hook me up if you can.

Anyone have the results from T-Con?

>There are none per se. We recruited two people and woulda sold rules to them
if we'd have had em (Don's taking care of that vis a vis the 5th Ho program).
The four of us (Patrick, Don, Chris, moi) played a Doubles game Friday night
(2000 pts of Huckleberry & Clark Polybians, yunno, the *loose* order
legionaires, vs EIR complete with every bolt shooter on a cart you could
imagine). The mighty Polybians prevailed. We then hit the only place in
downtown OK City that still served food at 11pm, a pizza joint that was doing
kareoke. We then drank lotsa beer (I had 3 and on what little food I'd eaten
till then, that was lotsa) and got back to the hotel a tad bit after 2am.

>On Saturday, we played 3200 pts of Huckleberry & Clark Polybians vs a combined
EIR/MIR list of 1600 pts apiece on a 16 foot table. Rolled for weather and had
mist which supposedly limited what the EIR/MIR army could do. Heh heh, it
didn't. Both my commands went into retreat. Chris was far more successful
making one of Patrick's commands hit the road. By then it was 4pm and we all
wanted to skeedaddle. So we packed up and skeedaddled.

>Weren't enough bodies for a tourney. I'm disapointed in that but certainly not
disappointed in making the trip down there. Tcon itself was *very* lightly
attended. I counted no more than 65 people or so (including the vendors) who
were there. And of those 65, around 10 were playing some Warhammer sci fi/fan
stuff.

Jon's right, those Han are scary!

Bad kareoke too (except the chick in the black dress, and Patrick!). Oh yea
and the waitress who did not sing, but made us think bad thoughts.

One of Chris' fell too. Too many darts, too powerful auxilla archers!
