This month the HAWKs have kicked off their 2013 Armies for Kids project. This year, the club is painting up several hundred 54mm Plastic ACW figures that were donated to the project by gamer Randy Seybert. The club plans to organize these figures into skirmish armies that will be distributed to kids who take part in a specially designated four player game at Historicon 2013 wargame convention in Frderickburg, VA. The plan now is for each of the four kids who participates in the game to get two 20-man units, a cannon, and a mounted officer for both the Union and Confederates.

I'm going to take all the credit for this project. I originally donated lots of figures to HAWKS because I was told that they were great with kids. Then THEY came up with the idea of painting the armies for kids and giving away the armies. HAWKS also did all the work. However if I hadn't sought them out to give them figures, they would have never thought up this idea, so I get the credit, right? You guys do a great job. Thank you for doing this. |
