CGC Meeting Location Has New Name
Historicon 2012 in Fredericksburg, Virginia
Northeast Ancient Miniatures
CGC monthly meetings remaing at their current location. However the Ramada Inn is now called the Stratford Hotel and Convention Center. With new name I am sure comes new management. So changes are likely to happen. Hopefully with renovations, better lighting, and not much of a price change for our monthly meetings.

HMGS is pleased to announce that Historicon 2012 will be held July 19 -22, in Fredericksburg, Virginia, at the

The facility is located just off I-95,north of the city of Fredericksburg. It is a new facility, having opened in 2006. It contains more than 100,00 square feet of exhibit space and 1200 free, on-site parking spaces. The space includes one large (80,000 sq ft) and also several smaller, adjustable rooms; allowing considerable flexibility in managing our space requirements. There are three loading docks and two truck drive-in entrances. It includes a state-of-the- art heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, that demonstrated the ability to keep the place cool during several trips in the middle of the summer.
The facility is located in the middle of a retail shopping park that includes more than 50 restaurants and is five minutes from downtown Fredericksburg. There will also be concessions offering food and a full variety of beverages within the facility itself.
HMGS has made arrangements with a number of local hotels. More information can be found at: HISTORICON 2012 Lodging,
Ancient miniatures is alive a well thanks to recent outburst of rule systems and more lead to choose them than ever before. Lead by Osprey's Field of Glory Rules, ancients miniatures and tournaments are popping all over the US and Europe.
In addition to the HMGS convention events, here in the northeast we are hosting two more Field of Glory open tournaments. The US Open to be held April 27-29, 2012 in Bedford, MA and the New England Regional to be held September (tbd), 2012 at Mohicon in Westpoint, NY.
Our Friends in Boston with their annual convention HAVOC 2012 will be hosting a Fealty of War themed event!
So for bragging rights or like me, just for a good time, come on out and experience the fun of ancients miniatures.
By the way, for those interested I am willing to host Field of Glory learning games at the Connecticut Game Club meetings or other venues. Contact quillup@aol.com. And if not in CT, I may also find other players in your area that are interest to teach you too. Armies will be provided.
And not to be out done, our own boyz are working on 2nd Edition A to Z Ancients. So expect the CGC meetings to host more miniatures for 2011 and 2012.
