Euro GenCon 96 - Good News

A few days ago I sent a message to the list regarding European
Gencon(TM) 96.

At that time I had not received the pre-registration programme, and I
guessed that the best way to get a Full Thrust game would be to run it
yourself. Today the programme arrived, and I quote...

"Ground Zero Games
Jon Tuffley and his gang are back. They will be running participation
games
of their starships miniatures combat system "Full Thrust" and the new
supplement for the game called "More Thrust"! Ground Zero will also be
running demonstration and participation of the new Dirtside II 1/300
Sci-Fi
Miniatures combat rules."

No times are given for these games.

Other events likely to be of direct interest to readers of this list:
(out
of many, many events listed!)

Labyrinthe - They will be demonstrating and running interactive live
events
and games all weekend, mainly based on L", their new sci-fi adventure
game.

Please note that al these events are planned to run, but I take no
responsibility if they don't. I don't expect that TSR would accept any
responsibility either. I have probably quoted and used various trade
marks,
and breached copywrite several times in this report. If I have, please
accept my apologies, and please note that no challenge was intended to
the
status of any such marks and names. <g> Have fun. The computer is your
friend.
