Thanks for the kind words, Shagnasty. FYI, in addition to the in person HMGS War College lectures at HMGS conventions, you (and others) can get your "War College at Home" by tuning into the following sites: The New York Military Affairs Symposium ("NYMAS") at nymas.org The World War II Discussion Forum at wwiidf.org and The Georgetown University Wargaming Society ("GUWS") at guwargaming.org GUWS has its own YouTube channel with scores of wargaming related videos. Finally, some past HMGS War College lectures are available at the HMGS website under "Programs" and "HMGS Videos". Enjoy the lectures.

I am really looking forward to this convention. I will be signing the last hardbound, 1st editions of "Strong Men of the Regiment Sobbed Like Children," John Reynolds' I Corps at Gettysburg, July 1, 1863.

They all sound great. It's too bad I want be able to attend any as I will be gaming. I hope someone films these and puts them on YouTube.

FYI, that's the HMGS War College lineup from Cold Wars 2025. The schedule of lectures at Historicon 2025 is available at the Historicon 2025 TTE page. An updated list will be posted here soon. Hope to see you there.

When will we have a link to watch on streaming?

Like everything else at HMGS, when somebody qualified steps up and volunteers to do the work, you might get lectures on line or posted to the HMGS web site for future viewing. (There are some there now from past conventions). The HMGS War College only got busy when speakers volunteered to put in their time and effort to make it such a popular part of the convention program. HMGS thanks them for their efforts. Hope to see everyone at Historicon.
