The National WWI museum and memorial in Kansas City Missouri has partnered with the Recruits gaming convention. There will be a game day held this coming March 24th (the weekend prior to Recruits) at the museum. There will be WWI games being played throughout the day to promote history through gaming as well as promoting the Recruits gaming convention.
Feel free to attend the game day at the museum or come to recruits and see the WWI display and sign up for a private tour of the museuem. We look forward to seeing you all there. |

What a great idea. Our group has discussed this quite a few times. Who is the point of contact to volunteer to run a game and to get table space? Brad |

The museum itself, is awesome! If you are interested in WW1, that is one place you should go. |

The museum really is fantastic. We had a chance to go there when I was at the Military History Instructor's Course at FT Leavenworth, KS. Just amazing. Good to hear they are partnering with Recruits. Eric |

The Primary guy to contact is Nick (kuski_14@hotmail.com) who is the Historical Game Coordinator for Recruits. I've volunteered to run games already.
The idea is to get people, gamers and the general public to realize that the study of history can be interactive, challenging and fun. Not that gamers aren't aware. We're Running a couple of trench battle boards and Wings of War at the moment. We really could use some naval battles. Actually just making a showing would be great. Wingnut link |

I've been to the museum several times. Magnificent facility. If you haven't been, and you live close enough to Kansas City, it's worth a trip. |
