Is RQ not a combat-intensive game system (by any definition)?

Might not a properly-supported Gloranthan game system (RQ or otherwise) expect a larger following at GenCon, simply by existing at all?

Isn't the best thing we could offer minis wargamers (to get them to go Gloranthan) a Gloranthan minis wargame? Rather than turning our own gaming genre into a skirmish wargame, just to attract extra custom?

Refractively,

Nick
