HOT Help

Interested in helping out with HOT project at Origins?

Once again, Great Lakes will be beating the drums and signing up new recruits this summer at Origins in Columbus, OH. Last year was a banner year, exposing the visual spectacle of our hobby to thousands, swelling our membership roll, and even helping the chapter's finances. If you would like to assist Great Lakes in this worthwhile project, contact Jodie Panzeri jodie@jodiecon.org.

Some Origins' Event Highlights

Once again, the HOT program has lined up more than 200 historical miniatures events at Origins. Some of 2003's highlights will be:

Extravaganza Events - These are the show-stoppers, and include: Brian O'Leary's `Vacationing in Panape' of ATC fame; Both Phil Viverito's `Siege of Tyre' and 'Pharos of Alexandria' games; Scott Mingus' ACW `South Mountain.'

Tons o' WW II - A blitzkrieg of events using many rules, including James Morrison's `Utah Beach' and Tom Dziegielewski's `East meets West.'

Enough naval to sink ya - From Terry Hollern's Ancient galleys, through Mark Campbell's Close Action Age of Sail and various GMs Ironclads games, up to Bob Wicks and Tom Bryant's World War 11, get ready "glug, glug, glug."

Ancients Tournaments - DBM in both 15mm & 25mm, two DBA tournies and even a 15mm Big Battle DBA Arena.
