The HMGS Origins TEAM 1998
ORIGINS ™ International Game Expo, July 2 - 5, 1998 Columbus, OH
The 1997 HISTORICAL MINIATURES GAMING SOCIETY (HMGS) Origins Project was a smashing success, AND "...we're baaack!" HMGS is invading ORIGINS again in 1998 with a crack team of Veteran HMGS Game-Masters. These include Pete Panzeri's big (1:1 scale/25mm/25 player) "LITTLE BIG HORN" and related seminar which won the HMGS BEST of SHOW award at HMGS FALL IN 1997. ALSO look for the MASSIVE "ALAMO" game sponsored by Old Glory Miniatures, and Mark Cambell's "CLEAR FOR ACTION" naval battles running throughout the weekend. Veteran Game Designer Jim Getz's innovative "CHEF DE PIQUET NAPOLEONICS," will be featured; over one dozen "NAPOLEON'S BATTLES SCENARIOS" from Bryan Leshinskie's team, a spectacular "Scottish Clans at Culloden" by Mike Demana, Chris VonFahnestock's massive 15mm "EASTERN FRONT OFFENSIVE," Troy Boni's [motion] picture-perfect "LAST OF THE MOHICANS AMBUSH," Bill Acheson's popular "WWI AERIAL ACES," a marathon demonstration of Tim Donovan's and his new "WARBAND And RETINUE " (WAR) Rules System. (Tim's Viking Raid ran an incredible 12 times during Origins 97.) Paul Westermeyer will present his "De Belis Antiqutatis Mini-tournament" and also "AIR ASSAULT on CRETE." Join veteran HMGS game masters Dave Doty and Rich Masse, in their a MONSTER Horse and Musket "Battle of Zorndorf." Their popular fast-play rules system was a *BIG HIT* at HMGS Cold Wars 1998 with fun and thrills for all levels of wargamers. HOT'98 will feature popular HMGS Game Masters from the local HMGS Great Lakes Chapter and across the USA.
HMGS MEMBERS get a special deal to exclusively benefit HMGS members:
1. HMGS members get a 10% discount to pre-register.
2. A badge-ribbon for UNLIMITED HMGS Gaming costs only $5. (Otherwise there is a $1.25 fee to use the computer reservation ticket system to reserve a spot in a game.)
There are 3 weeks between the Origins and HMGS Historicon '98, so hard-core HMGS members would do well to attend both conventions. While many events fill up at Historicon, 90% of the Origins games are always wide open (and open spots in HMGS games are always free). Look for the ANDON PRE-Event Book for Origins 1998 and you'll find dozens more of what is in store for "HOT'98!"
Our HMGS GOALS for HOT'98 are:
#1. Recruit Origins ALTGAMERS to HMGS.
#2 Deliver quality successful HMGS games to Origins and HOT.
#3. Attract HMGS Gamers to Origins and HOT.
