and if you didn't make it, you missed your last chance. From now on HAHMGS's fall activity will be supporting the KANSAS CITY GAME FAIR (see above).


HAHMGS Celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2008!

...it was twenty years ago today...
that the Heart of America Historical Miniature Gaming Society held our first convention in 1987. It's been 20 years and 4 (or is it 5?) versions of Command Decision since then, and we're still going strong.

 




THANKS FOR COMING TO BORDERWARS '07!

HAHMGS wishes to thank FRANK CHADWICK for putting on the first ever Command Decision tournament right here in Kansas City.

.

Frank wants to thank everyone who attended for giving him such a warm welcome. This was his first time coming to Kansas City. Frank says the convention and the people were both 'just great', and he can't wait to come back to the Heart of America.

THANKS FOR COMING TO

BORDERWARS XX
October 3-5, 2008

and if you didn't make it, you missed your last chance. From now on HAHMGS's fall activity will be supporting the KANSAS CITY GAME FAIR (see above).


HAHMGS Celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2008!

...it was twenty years ago today...
that the Heart of America Historical Miniature Gaming Society held our first convention in 1987. It's been 20 years and 4 (or is it 5?) versions of Command Decision since then, and we're still going strong.

 




THANKS FOR COMING TO BORDERWARS '07!

HAHMGS wishes to thank FRANK CHADWICK for putting on the first ever Command Decision tournament right here in Kansas City.

.

Frank wants to thank everyone who attended for giving him such a warm welcome. This was his first time coming to Kansas City. Frank says the convention and the people were both 'just great', and he can't wait to come back to the Heart of America.
