    Default GenCon

    My son, Chris, just sent me these pics from GenCon

    Haven't had a chance to talk to him about anything yet.

    Please let us know if your son gleaned any scraps of new information from the Ares people, Pete.

    Shouldn't that be red, Rob.
    I think it's the same as we saw at Origins.
    Pete: please ask your son if they are actually selling the sets, or just demoing them.

    I always wondered what a Martian invasion of Australia would look like! Cheers for the pics. Any news gratefully received.

    Actually Rob, the Mekon and the Treens were from northern Venus.

    Good grief Dave! I have been mistaken about this for over 60 years.

    Yeah. What is it with the green Martians?
    I thought it was the 'red' planet. Not a good survival atribute to be green on a red planet.

    Or maybe that's the 'current' condition of the planet, after they messed theirs up, and why they want ours.

    There were no T&T games being sold at GenCon that I saw. The folks at the Ares booth said that we wouldn't see any new planes for about 12 months. I also saw the Albatross fly through a poison gas cloud and take 4 damage! So ouch!

    Not a lot of new info - they indicated that T&T would be released in November at the earliest.
    I think they have a lot of other things on their plate.

    Not a surprise, really.

    Which means no starter sets to give away at M-Con in September (I wasn't gonna hold my breath), but now it seems BottosCon in November is probably out, too.

    I knew i'd seen green Martians somewhere Dave! Thanks for that.
    I must say that I prefer the red variety though. Are they going to be one of the stretch goal prizes?

    I don't think that they have any plans to come outside their war machines, Rob.

    That's a pity Dave, having her outside a war machine would certainly attract more players.
