From my post in another board.

I was disappointed to see that there were no SYW or WSS games available for sign-up at H-Con. Would HMGS consider ways to support or encourage more SYW participation in future events? Perhaps SYW could even be featured as a future conference theme. Another possibility might be reaching out to the organizers of the SYW convention to see if they'd be interested in sponsoring a game which could help promote their convention.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. grin

The SYW seems to be a pretty niche period for historical wargamers.

Great ideas and suggestions. We were taught, "Never point out a deficiency without a remedy"

It also sounds like you have written your own job description. Remember you do not have to be on the Board to contribute and help out. Be a part of the solution.

All due respect- some people could not navigate TTE very well. If you go to the bottom in the Columns to Show. Select Period and I got 4 games for that Niche period. I provided the Events numbers for easier searches.

Event #46 and #47-Battle of Kolin Friday 4 and Saturday 7 PM
Event #646 Vauban's Wars- Saturday 1 PM
Event #585 Can the Princess stay Silent- Sunday 8 AM

Enjoy Historicon!

Old Contemtible great idea about promoting the SYW convention. Let's do it at Fall In. BTW I playtested event #46 and it was great. Fantastic GM and beautifully painted minis.

That is my Vauban's Wars siege game. I am running a Rome vs Nervii game too, but I'll try to bring SYW next year. I have a lot of those figures.
