Yes, I remember; I was in the game w/the featured the Zepplin of Death. 

I recall that there were a lot of units on the board and that it didn't 
get much past the second or third turn.  One of DSII's strenghts is its 
ability to capture the fluidity of an armored/mechanized enagement.  For

GenCon next year, you might try a game w/fewer units.  Playing in a game

that goes down to the wire can be a great thrill.  (Not that any DSII 
isn't!).

I think a DSII w/a few Mecha units, or maybe an all Mecha game would do 
wonders for attracting folks to DSII.  (I haven't played battletech in a

while, but I seem to recall that once you get past maybe 8-10 mechs a 
side, it gets kind of cumbersome:  DSII would let you fight out larger 
engagements...)
