Warparty 2001 was a success! More than 70 people came, and played in 14 excellent miniature events covering various periods. An impressive spirit of camaraderie helped lead nine attendees to join Great Lakes that day. The games began at 9:15 am, and there were prizes and surprises throughout the day. The painted unit raffle was well received, and will be repeated next year.

Lunch, dinner and snacks were served. The convention ended with a showing of the movie "Waterloo." Our thanks to all who helped and attended. We hope to see you next year July 20th for Warparty '02.
