Welcome to the HMGS East Issues Forum--the official listserve of the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society-East Chapter.

The Forum is a members-only, moderated listserve that encourages debate on issues relevant to the Society, its members, affiliated clubs, and the hobby. The forum also is a vehicle to facilitate discussion between Society members and the Board of Directors.

HMGS-East is a non-profit education organization dedicated to promoting the hobby of historical miniatures gaming--and encouraging the study of military history through the medium of miniatures gaming. It is the largest organization of its kind in the nation, with more than 2,500 members.

The Society sponsors many activities to promote the hobby and the study of military history. Over the years, HMGS East has sponsored seminars by distinguished historians, awarded college scholarships, and provided grants to organizations that promote miniatures gaming and the study of military history.

Finally, and most importantly, HMGS East sponsors three historical miniature gaming conventions each year: Cold Wars in March, Historicon in July, and FALL IN! in November.
