Event Registration will soon be open…but dont let that stop you from registering as a Game Master. I plan on running some All Quiet on the Martian Front games. Just wonder what others plan on running. Or if you know of someone that would be a great GM to have at the convention.

I should be good for a couple of games. Haven't decided what yet, though. What's the theme this year?

jekinder608 Sep 2014 2:09 p.m. PST

I believe it's alternate history.

Little Wars 2015 April 24 – 26 at the DuPage Expo Center, St. Charles, IL.
Theme for 2015: First Contact!

What does that mean, first contact! ?

VonBurge08 Sep 2014 2:37 p.m. PST

My guess is that it means "first battle" in various wars through time. For example maybe Bull Run as the first major battle of the ACW.

Kimber VanRy08 Sep 2014 5:35 p.m. PST

"First contact" also refers to two previously separate societies meting for the first time like aliens and humans or European explorers and native people.

RKE Steve09 Sep 2014 6:24 a.m. PST

First Contact refers to both; the first time two armies meet, first time two generals meet, or the first time humans encounter aliens.

Some excellent interpretations of what First Contact means. It is really up to the Game Master to make the interpretation not the convention directors.

Event submissions can be sent in, I have had the submission forms on the website for some time. I will be emailing all GMs this week.

…Game Master to make the interpretation…

Oh, no, unfettered gamer imagination?

THE HORROR!!!

Little Wars: long on my bucket list, not looking good this time around, though.

Thats to bad Doug…you are missing out on a very nice convention and some great games

I've always heard it was a good regional show, but was never able to go, a few chaps have told me that they preferred LW to cold wars.

Well do hope to see you there…it is a good show and I think getting better all the time.
