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.
