Further Event Information
Lots of stuff going on...
check below for details and links.
Games Plus
Historical Miniatures Night
(Next date : July 10th )
A new monthly meeting forum for
historical miniature gaming at the store.
Games will be run every second Friday on the month.
October, 1941--Kalinin, 100 miles northwest of Moscow
GM Patrick Rollins - 10mm Crossfire
Its
momentum nearly spent, the German Ninth Army throws itself against
Soviet defences around Moscow. Fighting in the outskirts is particularly
brutal, with infantry companies supported by tanks struggling to gain
the upper hand. Come and try out Crossfire, a unique tabletop wargame
focusing on small unit actions and realistic tabletop maneuvers. The
game doesn't use rulers or fixed game turns!
On table 2: Samurai !
GM : Dave Bosse
28mm Warhammer Ancient Battles Eastern and Western
armies fight over a small, but important, village.
And remember, if you show your HMGS Membership card at
the register during the game night, you get a 10% discount. (per Harlow
Stevens, HMGS Midwest secretary)
OPEN MINIATURE GAMING – presented by WUMMS (We
Use Military Miniature Society) -- Held every 4th Saturday
of the month at Games Plus*** Subject to
change. Contact Curt Sabo, 773-774-4558 to confirm dates. --
Rules will be taught. All are welcomed!
As posted at Games Plus,
there will also be a Flames of War game running that (and each) Friday
night.
