NOt sure where the rest of the set went.Once we finished the D&D game, the guys decided to play Battletech, which I had never heard of.  The invited me to play so I hung around.  When they started pulling out the minis, I was hooked cause it was a game version of Robotech to me.  It was just after the Clan stuff had come out and I got to play a Madcat.  Had a blast and I think I picked up the starter set while I was at the con.I don't remember much else about the con, other than my dad picked me up late that night and took me back both Sunday and monday.  When I thought about it later I realized how cool my dad really was, in 3 days he spent almost 12 hours driving me back and forth to that con.I made it to Dallas Con two more summers, and then Origns when it was the the DFW metroplex a few years latter. Have been to at least one con a year since then.  Most of those being DunDraCon in the Bay Area Ca.</blockquote>
