The Historical Miniatures Gaming Society – Midwest of the Chicago area will be running a history gaming weekend at the Kenosha Civil War Museum. We will feature an “open house” format where the public may check out the tables featuring hundreds of miniatures depicting battles from history. Of course we will have battles from the American Civil War but also will pay tribute to the 250th Anniversary of the Founding by offering a few battles from the American Revolutionary War. Dr. Steve Fratt, past president of HMGS-MW will bring “Shot Heard Round the World” depicting the Battles of Lexington and Concord and also present “The Whites of Their Eyes”…the Battle of Bunker Hill.

This event is designed to introduce the public to historical gaming as a wonderful pastime that helps the players understand the how and why decisions were made in important battles and campaigns. Game Masters will explain how their games work, how to create the battlefields and where to buy historical figures. So come by, see what it is all about and take some time to play a few turns commanding your troops in the field.
