 You must have, there are several non-demo games going on.  Here is a
full 
 list of GZG games at GenCon (August 6th-9th, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) for
you 
 and everyone else to see:
 
 Dirtside II
   Grey Wind Regiment, (DEMO) each session different. Thursday 9pm,
Friday 
 5pm, Saturday 12 noon
 
 Stargrunt II 
   Strike Force Tuffley (DEMO) Thursday 12 noon and 5pm, Friday 12 noon
and 
 5pm, Saturday 5pm and 9pm, Sunday 12 noon
   Assault on Ventron series - Part 1, 2, and 3, (uses some advanced
rules) 
 Friday noon, 5pm, 9pm and again same times on Saturday
   Ork Hill! - Allan G's demo game using 40K figures, Sunday noon
 
 Full Thrust
   Full Thrust Demo - Thursday noon, 5pm, Friday noon, 9pm, Saturday
5pm, 9pm, 
 Sunday noon.
   Shoot Out at the OK Corral - Upgraded Sa'Vasku vs the Kra'Vak. 
Though 
 billed at demo level, with both of the aliens I would expect it to be a

 little more difficult.  Thursday 9pm.
   Sci-Fi Crossover Anomaly - Star Wars Star Destroyers vs Classic Star
Trek 
 and Babylon 5 (and maybe a special guest from another canceled series).
 This 
 is my game and I am currently converting everything to Fleet Book 
 construction and rules. Not a demo level game but should get people's 
 attention as they see all of the familiar ships on the table Friday 5pm
   Dark Star - Mike Miserendino's game based off of the movie of the
same 
 name.	Friday 9pm
   Hell's Crossfire - NAC vs the Kra'Vak intro level, Friday 9pm
   Alliance Attacks - Rebels vs Imperials, intro level, Saturday 5pm
   To the Victors Go the Spoils - ESU convoy vs Kra'Vak, intro level,
Saturday 
 9pm

 There will be a Full Thrust Tournament. Starting Saturday morning at
8am, 16 
 Admirals will start off in a single elimination tourney.  1500 pt
Fleets (FT 
 2nd edition) will be provided (to prevent Mark Siefert's group from
bringing 
 cheese fleets) with several to choose from.  The fleets are being
finalized 
 now and I hope to post them on this list soon for a final review that
they 
 are relatively equal.	8 hours later we should have a winner.	Allan
Goodall, 
 Mike Miserendino, and I will be judging the tourney so you won't have
to 
 battle any of us.
 
 The above games are all sponsored by GeoHex (thanks KR)  There are a
couple 
 of other Full Thrust games being run by others:
   Space Is For the Inexperienced - a learn to play demo, Saturday 8am
GM 
 Brian Walter.
   Experience is Relative - A Davion force vs the Bloody Clanner Fleet 
 (Battletech?), rated average difficulty and experience needed. Saturday
12 
 noon GM Michael McDonald
 
 For  more advanced non-demo games I would suggest for FT: Dark Star
(but we 
 both played that last year didn't we?), Sci-Fi Crossover Anomaly, the
FT 
 Tournament, Shoot Out at the OK Corral, and Experience is Relative. 
For 
 SGII, the Assault on Ventron series.

 Rick, your not that old.  You must have started pretty young.
