Here at the OMM shoppe, we're ramping up for one of our favorite shows: HMGS' Cold Wars. We're set up demos of Combat Action Command by author Lee Sowers throughout the show. We are running a special on CAC: If you attend Cold Wars 2012 and purchase both the CAC rules ($39 USD) and the CAC Data Card Supplement ($19 USD), you get the Anzio supplement for free!
Also, we will be running demos of the new Field of Glory: Napoleonics rules right at the booth.
And finally, if you want to save a couple bucks on shipping, order from OMM and we'll bring your order to the show. We can't bring the entire store to Cold Wars, so if there is something you want, order it now and pick it up at the show – no disappointments!
