Author: One of the great things about social media is getting back in touch with old friends — including wargaming friends. The Bengal Club recently created a page on Facebook to report our games, invite members to events, and basically keep in touch. We’ve also created a FB page for HMGS/PSW, and hopefully we’ll soon be able to automatically update it from this site.
If your club has a Facebook page, share it with the rest of HMGS either by posting it to the Yahoo list or commenting on this post — let’s expand our internet community!

Hi all,
Well our great venture into the unknown is over! We took our “Fall Campaign” to the Strategicon venue and it was as far as I and all those I spoke to another in a string of successful conventions. I even had some folks come up and say it was the best con they can remember. The Strategicon people Tim, Eric, and many others all had great praise for HMGS/PSW’s powerful showing on both days and told me they had broken all attendance records! (They did not even count our members!) Good for them! Great for us!
We had lots of new faces come through and stop to check things out and quite a few who did not normally play miniatures games got into it and played! That’s what we need! At one point around mid day Saturday there were so many flashes from the picture taking that it looked like a celebrity press conference. This is the kind of convention we need if we want to grow.
The associated problems normally found at these conventions were pretty much absent do to the hard work of your officers and the willingness of Strategicon to help rectify them. The carts worked out and Strategicon always had some volunteers to help. Food was slightly better and more available and parking seemed to flow smoothly.
I want to thank you all again for coming out, supporting HMGS/PSW, enjoying some great games, and lets get busy and start working towards our “Spring Campaign” that will be held April 15, 16, and 17th.
Yours in Gaming,
Bill Witthans
HMGS/PSW President
