Delbert A. Starr the Society Secretary tells me that the Society will be hosting and sponsoring a Central European Wargaming Convention on November 20th/21st 1976, basically an expanded continuation of the open house programme initiated by John Mansfield. It will be held in the Mannheim-Heidelburg area of West Germany (exact location to be notified). Delbert also enclosed the latest issue of their magazine THE RHINE CONFEDERATE which contains articles on Napoleonic Wurttemburg artillery; American Revolution wargaming; The Weapons of the Dark Ages; National Characteristics - Prussia in the Napoleonic period; a Wild West Individual Skirmish; The Dervishes; The Square plus up-to-date news of their latest campaigns. also included was a BOOK OF STATUES which is "a complete outline of those Orders, Decorations and Medals that may be conferred by the Royal Saxon Army in conjunction with the conduct of Napoleonic 25mm miniature wargaming and the battles and/or campaigns thereunt'o belonging." It really is a fascinating booklet with illustrations of all the medals and certificates that these wargamers can win in the course of their tabletop campaigns. Such enthusiasm is infectious but it requires a lot of work!
