>> The Strategicon folks used the concept of a "Miniatures Bootcamp" this year,

>> this worked out very well this year - there was much more foot traffic in
>> this area of the convention as people were dropping by often to play and
>> learn some quick miniature games. One of the demos I gave was to a father and
>> his high-school age son who had never played a miniatures game before but
>> were grabbed by the AE-WWII board I had set out. They had a great time and
>> decided to purchase their first miniatures games (albeit it was Space Hulk,
>> not AE-WII, as they had read about it beforehand). I'll take creating some
>> new miniature wargamers as a small win.
>> 
>> I'll definitely be back at Strategicon/Orccon February, and hope the
>> convention sticks with the Miniatures Bootcamp. I plan to spend one day on
>> demos, but hopefully one of the nights I'll schedule a game for people with
>> existing armies...or even a small tournament. If any current players think
>> they would be interested in a game and/or tournament, please let me know!
