We recently concluded a successful display and demo called "Hands-On History" at a local museum. The exhibit featured ACW wargames and original Civil War artifacts, and ran from June 20th to July 4th. We set up two tables…a Gettysburg scenario and Battery Wagner (from movie "GLORY").
The event attracted several new gamers and also rekindled the interest of old gamers who said they had wandered away from the hobby. Events like this are great for promoting the HMG hobby.

Wow that is a great table layout you have there. What scale was the Battery Wagner done in, do you have any photos of that?

Battery Wagner is part of our 15mm ACW collection.

There's a thread over on our Forum that contains photos and AARs.
Have a look: link
