Connecticon 40k Events

SO the main purpose of this blog is for releasing event information about wargamming at Connecticon (as I am the Head of wargamming at the convention).  For those of you who don't know ConnectiCon is New England's ONLY massively, multi-genre pop culture convention, the convention's focus is on all things pop culture and does every genre of pop culture in as big a way as possible. The event attracts over 10,000 people to the Hartford area annually, and plans to expand to other venues in downtown Hartford. ConnectiCon was the proud recipient of the Bring It Home Award from the Greater Hartford Convention and Visitor's Bureau.

Connecticon runs from July 12-14th 2013

Registration for the Convention is currently $50 (until April 5th), and then $60 after that.  Then there will be a $10 entrance fee for the individual tournaments (used exclusively for prize support, last year we gave out around $1500 in prize support to attendees.)

As for what is happening 40k wise:

On Friday the 12th there will be a 2000 point Doubles tournament.

Saturday (13th) and Sunday (14th) will be a 5 game 40k GT.

IN addition there will be a megabattle running during the weekend.

Keep watching the blog as I will be adding specific event details here over the next few days.
