The HAWKs held their one day BARRAGE XVI miniatures gaming convention this past Saturday, September 15th. By all accounts it was huge success with a record attendance
and record number of dealers present in a new spacious and well lit venue.
There was a large selection of great looking games
as well as a whole table dedicated to just kids games. There was also a Flames of War tournament at the convention this year.
The club is already making plans for next year.

| Whoever is worried about the graying of the hobby, fear not; the HAWKs were pleased to see a large number of kids come along with their folks for a day of gaming, and not just at the kids table. |

 |
| I ran a series of four well received, hour long, "Look, Sarge, No Charts:WWII" demo games. |
 |
| A last minute addition to the game line-up was this War of the Worlds game using GASLIGHT rules. The hosts did a great job in what was apparently the first convention game they ever ran. |
 |
| Kurt Schlegel's Attack on Santa's Village game, using GASLIGHT rules, was a big hit with the kids. |
 |
| P. Heffner's Aerodrome games are always a big hit at Barrage with kids and adults alike. |
