I'm running a game on Friday at 0900.

Who else (aside the usual suspects) is going?

kcabai13 Apr 2025 8:13 a.m. PST

Sounds like a plan, I will be there.

hindsTMP Supporting Member of TMP13 Apr 2025 8:39 a.m. PST

I am probably going on Saturday.

Unfortunately, the ESR game I was planning to play in still only has me signed up for it. If the presenter ("sq_rigger"???) reads this, I'd appreciate a heads-up on what happens if nobody else signs up. If it is cancelled, I can come in later in the day, and get a decent night's sleep…

EDIT: I also hoped to speak with the HMGSMW officers about whether the organization can accept gifted wargaming stuff from my estate (am at the age where I am planning for the worst, and want to save it from the dumpster).

Looking forward to seeing you at the show. Also thank you for your offer of your gaming items. Lets hope it is a long way off.

I will connect with with our Coordinator: Jon Michal. (He is also managing our Painting Contest)

We doe have a program for this:

HMGS Midwest is a 501(c)3 charitable organization and donations to HMGS Midwest are tax deductible.

Many of us also have miniatures, terrain, books and other items that we will never paint, model, or use as we may have moved on to other gaming eras and interests. We accept donations of these gaming items and will redeploy your troops in a way that will help provide them a new home as well as continue to help us promote our mission of spreading the joy and knowledge we gain from miniature wargaming.


If you are interested, please drop Jon Michal, our legal counsel, a note at tnk321@ameritech.net.

Thanks to all of those members and friends of HMGS Midwest in the past who have made past donations to help bring our club to where we are today!

My son and I plan to be there the whole weekend. I plan to run games Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Der Alte Fritz Punic War??

Ran The Cid14 Apr 2025 9:17 a.m. PST

I'm running a Samnite Wars battle on Saturday 9:30 and 1:30. Testing To The Strongest this year – Hail Caesar ran me ragged last year.

I'll be wearing my usual Confederate Gray Forage Cap, Thurs, Fri, and Sunday.
Saturday I'll be in my "finest pirate attire" as I run two pirate raid games.

Joe 1870. I do believe I am signed up for one of your Raiders games.

And for those of you still straddling the fence on this one, Little Wars has easily become my favorite "go to" convention. Plenty of places to eat, time to relax, time to see friends, Little Wars After Dark, and lots of fun.
HMGS MW does an amazing job.
