Finally had some time in recent weeks to sort thru my wargaming baggage (ie..photos etc) over the last quarter of 2013. I started the fall season with a trip to the HMGS-PSW convention in Los Angeles (October 2013). Here is a brief link summary of the convention with photos taken at the convention:

Many fine games were staged at this one day event held in the National Guard armory in Manhattan Beach CA just south of LAX. Twice each year the local HMGS-PSW chapter holds these conventions (April and October) with additional mini-themed events during the other months. They held an "ancients wargaming mini-convention" this month for example.
