 Actually no (BattleStar minis are tough to find).  It is a more recent
show 
 that was not named after a ship (and I can get a mini of the main
ship).

 Great! (now I just have to make sure all these different types of
fleets are 
 balanced.)

 Yup, expect the unexpected in this game.

 Sure, bring your minis.  It will be tough for us to provide enough
minis for 
 the 16 fleets in the first round.

 Please do, I need a copy of this chart.

 Thats the one with the midevail theme and suits of armor everywhere. 
It 
 would be nice to get there this year.	If you could look into basic 
 arraingments (tie required?, reservations) so we can maybe all decide
if and 
 when that first day.

 Yup, its time to start planning the FTGZG list member invasion of
Milwaukee.  
 Will there be a list member game like last year?  Who else is planning
to 
 attend GenCon?
