Chris Palmer Last Saturday some of us from the HAWKS went up to Warhorse Farm in PA to help fellow HAWK, Sam Fuson, celebrate a milestone birthday in style; with a day of gaming hosted by his wife, Kathy, and himself. Fifteen of Sam’s friends gathered for the event. In the morning we ran three games, A Mexican-American War game using modified “Muskets and Tomahawks” rules, a Civil War game using “A Union So Tested” rules, and a Victorian Science Fiction ACW game using GASLIGHT rules (Which I ran).

The Rebels use their infernal mole-machines as well as other contraptions to crash the party. |

Caldwell Clears the Wheatfield was the other game on the morning roster. |
Around midday, when the morning games ended, we took a break to feast on fried chicken coleslaw, and potato salad. Then we all enjoyed some of Sam’s two birthday cakes. 🙂 With full bellies, we began the afternoon’s gaming session. There were two games, a WWII Eastern Front battle using “Look, Sarge, No Charts:WWII” rules, and a Western Front battle, using “GAMER” rules.

We all had a blast with good friends, good games, and good food. Popular opinion was that this should become and annual event. 🙂
