The Hobby Bunker is in nearby Maldon.

The Store has a large selection of Toy Soldiers and other wargaming figures, terrain and rules.

You missed HAVOC by a week!
But there is also a toy soldier show on Sunday the 14th, it is at the Crowne Plaza Boston-Woburn.
I have found wargaming figures and terrain at this show, and I know that Hobby Bunker will be there as well because Matt from Hobby Bunker organizes the show.
I will also be running an AWI game there.
Fom route 95 take exit 35, route 38 and follow the rotary towards Woburn (38 south) turn right at the first set of lights onto Middlesex Canal Park Rd. The hotel is on the right.
From 93 take 1-95 South to exit 35
The show is from 9am-3pm

Rich, Cavcazy, lasalle012, tkdguy, and Tom – thank you for your concern. Barbara and I are home in Illinois and Kate is back in Richmond with her husband. Such a tragedy as all these events are. Kindest regards – Hal

Uff Da. I remember when she stuck labels on MWAN…
