A CALL TO ARMS!

HMGS Midwest Little Wars Judge Registration is Open

Little Wars 2018 will be held April 26 – April 29, 2018.

Little Wars is looking for a few good persons to rally round the tables and once again put on the premier games for which this convention is known.

What’s New for 2018?

This year’s theme is the Dawn of a New Age. If you feel your event or game qualifies, please indicate it when registering. Please note that only historical games are eligible for the theme prize. We’re also changing how the winner is selected this year – stay tuned for more information.

There will also be a Gamer’s Choice award this year. All games are eligible and your events will automatically be included. We’re asking attendees to select the game and judge that was the most enjoyable at the convention. More details will follow as we solidify the voting process.

Thursday night is now available for gaming! That’s right – another evening slot is open for your event.

WGN returns on Friday morning. WGN-TV will broadcast from Little Wars starting at 8 AM on Friday. There’s a potential need for games for the 9:00 AM slot, so consider that when stating your preferred times.
