"Ohio Frontier Aflame" -- LAF Member Mike Demana's sprawling F&I War game to be run 3 times at the show

I would like to welcome everyone to one of the friendliest mid-size conventions in the midwestern United States -- Advance the Colors 2014. It will be held again at the Heritage Center of Clark County (Springfield, Ohio) on Sept. 19-21. The Heritage Center is a historical museum with a nice militaria wing and cool displays to peruse in between your games. We will also have our largest dealer area yet with 9 vendors (see list below) bringing 28 tables of a wide variety of merchandise. ATC is the flagship convention of the Great Lakes chapter of the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society.

The website for the convention is here: http://www.hmgsgl.org/conventions/advance-the-colors/
