Past Messengers!

Mini-Wars was held at the Glendale Boy Scout Hall in 2009 and the new Vice – President, Harmon Ward heard a lot of talk about the old Messenger newsletter that the organization once published. After contacting the membership via email Michael Verity confirmed that he had a box of pristine copies that he could use. It took almost a year to get the time blocked out but after Mini-Wars at Gateway he started scanning and posting the newsletters on this website. The plan is to post a new issue every week until there is a complete archive of Historical Miniatures Gaming Society/Pacific Southwest available to the members. Thanks to both Harmon and Michael for getting this this project up and running.
We still have gaps in the “Messenger” archive so if you have old messengers that will help us fill the gap please contact one of us so we can get it scanned and up. These old messenger are a great history of our chapter as well as valuable articles on gaming through out the ages.
