The Maine Historical Wargamers Association is pleased to announce plans for our full weekend historical wargaming convention, Huzzah! 2011. Building upon the success of our first show, we will return to the same host hotel next year, with dates just a little later, May 13-15th, 2011.

Vallejo Color Wheel game at Huzzah! for first 150! Donates more than $2,000 of paint!

When Ken Eckhardt of Blue Moose Arts contacted Vallejo about obtaining some help with prizes for the Huzzah! painting contest he had no idea what he was getting into. Vallejo quickly offered assurance of their support but it was not until Ken arrived home Wednesday afternoon that he realized just how much support they would be providing to the convention.

On the porch at Ken's house were two large boxes, together weighing 60 pounds. The boxes contained approximately $2,000 worth of paint pots and sets!
