Hotlead is one month away. Celebrating our 25th Anniversary this year with so far 69 open particpation games, a terrain building workshop, a DBA tournament and a Middle Earth SBG tournament.
Hotlead is a miniature gaming convention featuring all scales, gernes and periods of miniature wargaming. We've got 5 air combat games featurng (among other scenarios) classic B-17s over Germany and Suez Crisis jets over the Sinai. For naval battles there are ancient galleys, age of sail Men of War, ACW ironclads, Coastal patrol boats and space fleets. Land games range from a 6mm big Franco Prussian War battles to a 54mm jungle skirmish. There are ancient chariots, two battles featuring elephants, SYW musketeers, Longstreet at Gettysburg, lots of tanks and a modern skirmish.
If you live in the Great Lakes area of North America it is worth the drive to Stratford ON on 29-31 March 2019 for Hotlead!

I'm really looking forward to the vendors! Going to spend some money this year.

If you haven't made it to Hotlead before come on down. It's my favourite hobby weekend of the year.

Did anyone mention that Hotlead opens in about 4 hours?

I was at hotlead for Saturday - another great con from my point of view.

I wrote up quick blog post which has approx. 40 pictures of different tables I looked at as I went around - you can see the pictures here: https://mellis1644.wordpress.com/2019/03/31/hotlead-2019/ I'm sure that I missed other nice ones because of playing games.

For some reason I can't book my stay yet. Only booking up to March 17th. Anyways, not your concern.
What is your concern is I'm planning to GM something next year. Hopefully I can get it done.
