Huzzah! 2011 will bring together historical wargamers from throughout New England for a full weekend of wargaming in Portland, Maine.

GMT returning to sponsor Huzzah! 2011

Tony Curtis of GMT Games has confirmed that GMT will be returning to sponsor Huzzah! 2011 with a variety of their games for board game tournaments and prizes! As you may recall, GMT Games provided games for Command and Colors Ancients, and Combat Commander Pacific tournaments, as well as door prizes at Huzzah! this year. We have not yet selected the tournament games for Huzzah! 2011 so check back as we get closer to the convention.

Huzzah! 2011 Dates Announced- mark your calendars!

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. This will avoid Mothers Day and drill weekend, as well as put a little more time between Huzzah! and Havoc, the great convention put on by our friends from BattleGroup Boston.

Tim Barry of Wargames Factory to demo digital sculpting

Tim Barry, Art Director and lead sculptor at Wargames Factory, will be attending Huzzah! and has offered to demonstrate the digital sculpting process. Tim will have a table set up in the ballroom with his computer workstation. Be sure to stop by the table to check out how the figures are sculpted, ask questions, and just hang out to talk shop with the gang from Wargames Factory.

Huzzah! Helm Club Participation Prize

The Maine Historical Wargamers Association is pleased to announce the Huzzah! Helm. This is a participation prize to be awarded to the New England wargaming club that does the most to support the Huzzah! convention. The winning club will have their name engraved on a plate of the helmet, and will take possession of the helmet for one year, until the next Huzzah! convention winner takes the helmet.

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!

Huzzah! Convention Totes have arrived!

The Huzzah! convention totes have arrived and here is a photo so you can check them out. These linen totes were paid for by ADC Books, Aerodrome Aerial Combat Games, Blue Moose Arts, and Crossroad Games- all of whom will be vendors at Huzzah!

All registered attendees of the convention will receive a tote! Not registered yet? Dont wait. Only two weeks of pre-registration remain.
