ACWGamer made  a trip to HMGS’s Cold Wars 2014 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.  The event, held from  March 6-9, is one of the biggest historical miniature events in the United States and has enthusiasts flying or driving in from across the country.  Clubs traveled in mass to offer some of the finest games you will find anywhere.

ACW gaming was well represented and in scales from 6mm all the way up to 54mm, plus naval game in multiple scales.  New ACW rules were taught,  some potential rules were play tested and tried and true rules, such as Fire and Fury and Johnny Reb, were put through their paces. Big name game designers  Rich Hasenauer, Frank Chadwick, and John Michael Priest hosted ACW games.

Vendors were present in force and offering new ACW Gaming goodies such as Perry Miniature‘s new plastic artillery sets or Sash and Saber‘s new 28mm Wilder’s ‘Lightening Brigade’ dismounted infantry.

If you have not have been to Cold Wars, you owe it to yourself to plan a trip.  More photos from Cold Wars will be published in the Spring edition of ACW Gamer coming on 15 April 2014.
