WarCon '88 to provide fun, games by Cindy Milton MSC Nova has planned more than its annual weekend of fun and games during WarCon ’88 Febmary 5, 6, and 7 at the Memorial Student Center. The highlight of WarCon '88 is a speech on Naval Tensions in the Persian Gulf by Larry Bond, co-author of the best selling novel Red Storm Rising and designer of Harpoon, a new game of naval combat simulation. Bond, who has served in the armed forces and designed several anti-warfare models and tactical action gaming systems, is the first speaker ever in WarCon history.His talk will be held Saturday at 2 p.m. in 601 Rudder Tower. Admissionfor the talk is free. Nova, the University’s wargaming committee, has been active at A&M since the early 1970s. WarCon ‘88 is the organization’s fourteenth WarCon, which makes it the oldest wargaming convention in the state. Nova presents two wargaming conventions — cons, for short —each year, WarCon and NovaCon. The committee also has open gaming every weekend so gamers can find new opponents and interests. Paul Hart, a senior computer science major and chairman of Nova, said the convention brings together people from around the state who are interested in gaming competition with other serious gamers. “We have games like advanced Dungeons and Dragons, Starfleet Battle ... games that will simulate combat in the past, present, future and in fantasy time periods,” he says. Hart says the games include role-playing games, where participants take on another character, and board games, where the players compete to see who’s the most skillful player. Hart says the games that will be played at WarCon are not typically found in stores. However, he says there is a “dealer’s room” at the convention where these types of games, books and comics will be sold. WarCon ’88 will include a grenade toss, with inactive World War II grenades, and a video room with additional games. Mark Camp, a senior history major and head of the WarCon dealer’s room, says most of the games involve some kind of strategy. “The games teach you how to think ahead,” he says. “They teach you a lot of history.” Camp says games like Harpoon are modem and relevant, with fictitious conflict. “Some of the modem games are very accurate,” he says. “They could be played in other places in the world. You learn to be a technician. “The whole thing is very stimulating. You learn about strategy, history, and you meet people who are interested in the same things you are. ” Tickets for Warcon ’88 are $11 for the weekend. They can be purchased in 206 MSC or through Ticketron at the MSC box office. All movies and times are provided by the theaters, and are subject to change.
