Author: Mini-Wars Winter Campaign is Jan. 27th, 28th and 29th
The HMGS/PSW is gearing up for our first ever “Winter Campaign”. This convention will find us back at the “tried and true” Boy Scout hall in Glendale for the 27th, 28th, and 29th of January 2012. Please come celebrate the New Year with some great gaming and cool thing to see at our first con of the year! We also will have elections and much to discuss at the general membership meeting. Info on the convention as well as downloadable flyers and event registration forms are to be found by “clicking” the convention tab on the top menu bar of the HMGS/PSW home page (your on it). The Preliminary Events List is being worked on and will be up shortly. Please get your events in as soon as possible as a full PEL will attract more attendees! You can call me before you do the actual submission to Dave and I will list it to speed up the online PEL.
Speaking of elections those of you who are interested in serving the chapter please step up and let us know! You can post here yourself or write up a campaign and we will put it up for you.
Positions are (current incumbents listed for them as well)
President…Bill Witthans
Vice President….Harmon Ward
Secretary/Treasurer….Matt Denny
Convention Manager….Dave Dandridge
As far as I know all the incumbents are interested in serving at least one more term but please don’t let that stop you from running and voicing your opinions!
Would you trust people like this to run the chapter? Come and cast your vote!
Yours in Gaming,
Bill Witthans
President HMGS/PSW

Hello fellow gamers. Here is a link to the Battlebook Facebook page that has been set up to show the many battles being fought using the Fire & Maneuver game mechanic.

On this site, you’ll see the pics of the great Khartoum siege put on in front of hundreds of people at the Anaheim Muzeo during their recent Victorian Era exhibit.
Also, you’ll see some of the pics from the battle of Tarawa that was done to commemorate the Pacific war.
Most recently, you’ll see the pics of a battle “somewhere in Poland in 1944″ where the Russians attempted to take a critical rail junction from the Germans before their reinforcements arrive.
If you appreciate the pics and love to follow more of St, Crispin’s and Battlebook’s activities, feel free to like the page so you can see further content as it becomes available.
That’s right, with these five newest models, I have increased my small scale armor collection to 579 completed models.
Here they are for your perusal:
This first one is Dragon’s 1/72 scale US Marine AAV7R recovery vehicle. I did it in 3-tone camo, and used some extra decals from another AAV kit to give it something extra. That makes this inaccurate, but hey; it’s mine and it looks good!
This next one is another 1/72 scale Dragon AAV. I made this one in Italian markings for my Italian Army:
Now on to some more trucks I built. I’ve been building all these trucks because I found a whole mess of them in my stash; at least 25 or so of various makes, models and countries. I decided it was time to get them built. So, here is the first one I got completed in this last week. This is my 1/72 scale IBG Bedford QLT Troop Transport:
These next two are from Revell of Germany. These are two 1/72 scale modern German General Purpose transport trucks. This first one is the MAN 7-ton GP truck:
This last one is the MAN 10-ton GP truck:
As you can see from the two pics, the crane does rise and lower. I also added the black thread to simulate cable too.
So, those are my latest models finished so far. I think now I’m going to go back and see what I started at the beginning of the year and haven’t finished yet and get them all done. It’s time to start clearing the bench for the coming New Year….
Meanwhile, thanks all for looking in, comments are always welcome.
