Hello to the entire WHIM_ME Community

We now all have something new to anticipate as Winter recedes from New England - Historical wargamers can truly look forward to the First HUZZAH! Wargaming Convention.  As the dealer manager working with Dean and Chris, I am delighted to be involved.  While having attended more than 100 wargame conventions over the last 25 years as first an attendee, then a military book dealer - but always a gamer - I have a personal stake in this one and I will use all of my dealer contacts to attract qualtiy folks and merchandise to our show - How exciting!   Already getting dealer inquiries and $$ - unheard of 9 months in advance for any show - so great things are acomen on 30 April 2010!!

So En Avant to Portland and HUZZAH!

Belisarius,

The gaming/shopping weekend seems to be a popular plan!  Did you make it to the old MaineCons back in the 1980's and 1990's?  They were in Portland, Maine. 

It will be great to have you join us for the convention.  Let us know when you have something going on in New Brunswick.  Perhaps a group of us could make the trek North.

I never did make it down. When you have every thing set close to the date of the convention email me the flyer and I will but it up in the local comic and game store here. You might get a few more of us coming down.

I will do that- thanks for the help!

Hello.
Well, that's not too far away. My group meets the second Saturday of each month for a game, if you have an interest. Bangor is often visited by New Brunswickers bringing shopping wives. Ahem.
