Pandemonium runs the full gamut of GZG events, but that is in
January. There will be a big SGII-fest at Sci-Fi World in
Toronto/Thornhill sometime in August/September.

Some Heavy Gear and Gear Krieg is run at MIGS, but there is also
to or three FT games every year. Rich usually runs his Star Trek/Full
Thrust game at every con.
The SGII/WWII game is GREAT. It is a damn-near Company level
game
involving the Germans and US in the Ardennes. It may be different this
year, but the guy puts on great (and LARGE) 20mm games.
