This month play the Battle of Towton, which occurred during the War of the Roses, a Viking battle set during the Dark Ages, and the Battle of Belleau Wood from the First World War. Each player will get the chance to play 2 out of the 3 offered games, with a break in the middle for lunch.  Rules will be taught, and there will be many familiar Next Gen facilitators running each game.

Gamers will play strategy based, miniatures games on three dimensional boards with painted figures, terrain, and features reminiscent of some famous conflicts in history. Games will be facilitated by experts from HMGS Next Gen, Inc https://www.nextgengaming.org who understand the best ways to create scenarios that will be both challenging and rewarding for the players.

Miniatures games are played using dice, tape measures, cards, and other implements, in which teams of players will battle it out to meet the conditions of the scenario. In the case of miniatures, games are played on fully terrain-ed boards, with playing pieces as small as 6mm and as large as 54mm.
