In an effort to increase participation in De Bellis Multitudinis wargame (DBM) rules in the Kentucky/Indiana area, several gamers have joined together to form this confederacy. Currently, there are no by-laws or membership fees, and while affiliated with neither NASAMW nor HMGS, players will be encouraged to join both. In the future, we hope to participate with other local clubs in team challenges and draw more from the Michigan and Northern Indiana areas. So far, the following events have been held or are planned:

• January: Viking Fury, to be held in Princeton, IN
• February: Name TBD, to be held in Indianapolis IN
• May: Indy Ambush, to be held in Indianapolis In
• November: Gamefest Indy, to be held in Indianapolis IN

Scoring will be 32-0 and results will be submitted to the North American & Regional Scoring website. Each tournaments format is left up to the host, but most will be single day events, one list and 400-point games with rounds lasting 3.5 hours. There is enough room during the course of the year for additional events, and more will be planned. Gamefest Indy is large enough for a two-day affair and will serve as the M.A.C.S Championship.

To determine the overall "Grand Poobah" of the M.A.C.S., each event with six or more players will receive points for the first through fourth place finishers (20 points for 1st, 15 points for 2nd, 10 points for 3rd, 5 points for 4th). The winner of Gamefest Indy will receive 10 bonus points to be added to the final score. The winner will have their name engraved on the traveling trophy and other prizes to be determined later.
