I have a large family, so holidays are spent with them. We play lots of games, but the closest to a wargame is Settlers of Catan. |

None I don't run games in November and December. I can't get enough players during the holidays. Also never do games on the 4th of July weekend for the same reason. |

I don't game during the summer holidays but I do battle against the early placed beach towels on the pool loungers. I like to get mine in sharp, on the approved dot. |

None. The kids like to play (a lot) of boardgames at Christmas though. The war games club usually puts on a special games day after Xmas, but there isn't any particular theme. Last year I ran Wavre. |

That sounds like a great lineup, so no disaster there DG! Our area group recently, and in the past has done a Turkey Wars game around Thanksgiving, and a few games on the week between Christmas and New Years. link |

inlgames.com/puebla.htmOxi Day in late October.
inlgames.com/oxiplay.htmAround the 4th of July (this Saturday is game day) we often play Short Hills or Trenton, but not always. We've also done Vicksburg and Hatttin. Lots of other ones on or about the date of a battle, but those are the regulars. |

Several conventions happen around holidays. So a variety of games, none specific. |
