Taking a Stand

Editorial

by Philip J. Viverito

This Classical Hack News Letter focuses on some new and interesting books, creating terrain and mounting figures on to stands or bases. It is with great pleasure that we announce the formal pulication and release by LMW Works of Homeric Hack Warfare in the Age of Heroes: 1500 B. CC to 1184 B. C.. The Classical Hack Web Site has recenty posted a piece on using 6 and 10 mm figures as well as using Biblical Armies with Homeric Hack. This inclusion of Biblical Armies will have to do until I have the publication rights for Holy Hack: Hacking By The Book in the year 2006; when the copyright will return to me. With the coming of another year on us we are hoping to do more public speaking engagements at educational institutions and Societies. Fred Hubig continues to bring gaming to the general population through The Georgetown Center For Living History by offering speaking opportunities to knowledgable people in our discipline. Education is the broken spoke of gaming and services like this are helping to grow the hobby; a renewed interest in history through gaming. Efforts like this must be pursued to preserve the hobby and to fulfill one of the main tennents of HMGS-education. Well done Fred! This issue will bring us up to date for issues of the Classical Hack News Letter. We hope to maintain a schedule of delivery at the end of each month. So expect your news letters sometime in the last wo weeks of each month. So April will see delivery after April 25. Next month you will have reports on events at Cold Wars. For this month we are concentrating on taking a stand; basing terrain and figures.
