26 - 28 January saw the advent of Cancon Australia's premier wargames convention. More than 700 gamers gathered playing a host of different games as well as many traders. Several thousand people also attended, many to buy, others to play in participation games or just to watch. I ran a participation game of the Alamo for the three days which went very well. We played five Alamo games, the Texians winning one and the Mexicans being victorious in the others. The mix of games being played was vast with historical games, fantasy and Sci-Fi, boardgames and card games all present. It was a really good three days and credit to those who organized it. If you are ever in Canberra over the Australia Day weekend (26 January) make sure you visit Cancon, it is well worth it.

6mm Borodino - very impressive!
what a spectacle! The 6mm game looks like a cracker! The Alamo is such a good looking game. Well done to all those involved in putting it together. A sure sign of a healthy hobby culture here in Australia!
