New location for HMGS-MS Activities

From Wargames New Home

Wargames LLC, the Nashville based historical miniatures store from which HMGS-MS conducts many activities has moved to a much nicer location. While the last location was great - this one really is wonderful. There is a large enough area for 2-3 games out back and a parlor for 4 DBA games out front. The location has a great parking lot and is more convenient to gas, food and the highway (without the surprise of getting caught at the Rail Road crossing for 20 minutes!)

I was there a couple of week ago when they first had it opened up with nothing there and returned again to day to find about 20 people there! There were 5 games going on at the time. I got in a round of DBA with a Marion Rome army. I was proof that it is better to be lucky than good. At the very end my opponent ran into command friction as I managed to pull my General out of the jaws of defeat and into a massive line of Cavalry and heavy troops that punched in and did their job. My opponent lost 3 points up front when his BUA was lost quickly. There was no hope of regaining it and that set him back greatly. He did have me exposed and ready for the kill but what can you do when the dice come up '1's for you and '6's for the other guy?

For fans of science fiction and fantasy there is plenty to do, see and buy at the shop which is a Games Workshop retailer. I got to see some painted up GW terrain that looked fabulous. Some of the gamers were there playing Warhammer 40K. It was quite a big battle and everyone seemed to be having fun. I am told that next weekend (July 4th) there will be a big shindig at the shop, open to everyone so please grab a friend or two and come on down.

LOCATION:
4825 Trousdale Suite 217 Nashville, Tennessee 37220

The big sign isn't out yet but the shop is down in the back near the model hobby shop.

Ninja Revenge AAR posted

I wrote up the Ninja Revenge AAR with lots of photos here. It was a fun game! It wasn't very historical but it did have elements of history and myth captured quite nicely.

There was an Arab-Israeli game at the shop as well. Someone who was in that should write that one up. I don't know if anyone took photos of it but the figures were very attractive 15mm and it sounded like everyone had a lot of fun!

Give my AAR a look and let me know what you think!

Ninja Revenge, Next weekend at Wargames

Hey all, I am hoping to run my Ninja Revenge game at Wargames next weekend. Anyone is free to join. I have room for 10 players. It is a nice balance between historical and realistic play with Shinobi Myth and fun rolling a lot of dice. All the players are on the same team trying to beat the system (which pretty much describes the life of a Ninja!)

Game start time will be 1PM so grab lunch. When you are there I'll tell you all the story of how a bottle of asian flesh paint exploded last week covering me and Ray and how Ray didn't Ninja Kill me on the spot!

Tennessee Game Days this weekend

Hi all, I just found out about a boardgame convention that is in Nashville this weekend. It is called Tennessee Game Days and is up on Lebanon Pike (near Briley Parkway). You can get more information here: http://www.tngamedays.com/index.html.

I think I will attend. It is close to where I live. I think it would be fun. If anyone wants to join me just drop me a line.

They are also having a food drive so if you decide to go pick up something canned to help the needy.

Location: Donelson Christian Church, 2319 Lebanon Road, Nashville, TN 37214
Date: Friday, June 5 through Sunday, June 7
Times: Friday & Saturday: 9 a.m. until 1 a.m.; Sunday 12:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.
Cost for the Weekend: $25 at the door

At Tennessee Game Days, we like to try and give back to the community during our event. The location we are holding our event also serves as a food pantry for needy families in the area. With this in mind, we are, once again, holding a food drive in connection with our gaming event. We ask that, as part of your admission fee for the weekend, to please bring some non-perishible food items to donate to Second Harvest. Second Harvest is one of the largest food banks in the country and is pivotal to supplying many area families with much needed food. Please be generous and give back while you're having fun!
