As always, Gen Con Indianapolis is the place to be in August, and Skirmisher will be displaying its latest books and other products in the exhibit hall at Booth 314, at the left end of the exhibit hall. Be sure to come by and look at our latest releases, sign up for some of the events based on our games, and speak with us in person! New products scheduled for release at the con include:

* H.G. Wells’ Little Orc Wars, a versatile, easy-to-learn miniature wargaming system based on rules developed by the great science fiction author.
