Gathering of the Clans:
Historical Miniatures Gameday

Courier Dispatch

by Dick Bryant

Inspite of late advertising and a distant venue, The Gameday, sponsored by HMGS, The Courier, and Falcon Miniatures in November every year was a success. Over 100 Historical Miniature gamers enjoyed 30 scheduled games and many pickup games. Over $1000 in gift certificates were given out including Best Painted Army to Mike Brooslin's Chinese used in a Sword and the Flame game and Best Terrain to Gerard Casanova for an 1812 scenario.

Winners are chosen (one per side) by their opponents and several people were multiple winners. One family, the Lows, took home some 4 or 5! All in all everyone had a good time and the Flea Markets did a brisk business. Thanks to all those who helped out. Below is the listing of those companies that helped with donations. I hope that you will show your appreciation of their support of Historical Miniature gaming by supporting them.
