BottosCon 2014 has barely wrapped up, and I haven't yet written all the After-Action Reports, but planning for Wings of Glory's BottosCon 2015 appearance will need some effort.
The past two years have seen prominent models that have attracted lots of attention to the game, if not actually getting new players involved (Thanks, Dave[clipper1801]!):
BottosCon - 2013 (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?15107-BottosCon-2013-November-8-10-Vancouver-Sheraton-Guildford-Hotel-Surrey-BC&p=223535&viewfull=1#post223535)
BottosCon - 2014 (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?20128-BottosCon-2014&p=310860&viewfull=1#post310860)
I haven't played much of Wings of Glory's WWII, but have a small collection of Battle of Britain planes. For BottosCon 2015, going bigger for visual appeal will take some work. SWMBO has suggested an aircraft carrier, and that will definitely make a splash! HMS Glorious in Norway, 1940, would fit with my collection.
However, perhaps some other forum members, who have WWII collections, could assist? Dave [clipper1801] is suggesting a traveling convention kit for Midway!?! Maybe, the members of the Forum could put together a "road show" much like the Aerodrome World Tour?
Lots of ideas, please jump in, if you can help, or wish to contribute.
