Canadian Militia form up in response to the sentry's warning shotI did get is a decent amount of gaming while the Forum was down. First, here's a game I ran at the local history museum, "Skirmish at Jumonville Glen." I used my own Song of Drums and Tomahawks rules, and revamped the historical events to have the French awake and ready for the attack of Lt. Col. Washington and the Virginia Militia.

The game at the museum proved ridiculously popular! I had 6 folks RSVP saying they were coming, but had a total of 10 folks playing! We (our local chapter of the the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society) are doing this historical scenarios once a month inside the museum, among the exhibits, to get the word out about fun "History games" you can play.
Fun times, and made me tweak the rules a bit to enable it to work well for such a large game. Everyone said they had a great time and we have had a few players sign up for memberships since the game.
