Kriegspiel mit bier!

[HarmonWard]

On Saturday, November 12th 2011 the Historical Miniature Gaming Society is setting up a Sword and Flame 25mm
Victorian Era colonial wargame at the Muzeo in Anaheim. That is the date The Olde Ship Pub is having a British Beer Tasting event that is sure to bring in large crowds. Admission to the Beer Tasting is $49. You can contact
the Muzeo online for tickets if you wish.

The wargame will be a re-fight of the The Battle of Zariba that was featured in the 1939 film, "The Four Feathers" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031334/. Larry ran this at our last Mini-Wars so if you missed it then now is your chance to sit down in a museum, with the black and white film on the projection screen, and play a wargame as they were meant to be played. As a bonus you can talk to the museum guests about table top miniatures and help us recruit more members! There is no charge to just show up and wargame. Contact HMGS/PSW VP Harmon Ward 3 days before the event and he will add your name to the list.

Battle of Zariba Setup 10:00am until 11:00am
Olde Ship British Beer Tasting, music, food and fun starts at 2:00pm and
continues until 9:00pm
Battle of Zariba concludes and table is packed up.

For a full day, stop by at Hobby Day in the morning and say high to all of the guys, then move over to the Muzeo, one mile away and play Zariba, then join the Beer Festival. As I said, wargaming as it was meant to be! The Queen's Gallery, by the way, includes hundreds of paintings, silverware, walking sticks, firearms and furniture from the Vicotrian Age. The Steampunk:Beyond the Imagination exhibit is a fantastic re-imagining of the Victorian era with steam powered advanced technology.

British beer tasting...
isn't that a contradiction in terminis ? 

[HarmonWard]

Quite right!
Actually, the brews served up by The Olde Ship are rather good and the food and atmosphere are wonderful too. Between Oktoberfest at the Anaheim Phoenix Club and the Olde Ship English pub in Fullerton, The White House Italian Restaurant and a few dozen others, we don't ever get tired of dining out!

This event should be one of the our best yet. The Carnegie Building is a great location and Larry always puts on an eye catching game. We are hoping that the average museum visitor has a keener interest in history than the average bloke and will be easier to recruit into our ranks.
