Gardiner Library presents Historical Miniature Wargaming Event on Saturday February 4, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Ages 10+ gamers will play strategy-based, miniatures games on three dimensional boards with painted figures, terrain, and features reminiscent of some famous conflicts in history.

This month play WWI air combat with biplanes and triplanes using the Wings of Glory rule system; a High Seas adventure with plundering pirate sloops and British frigates trying to stop them using the Limey’s and Slimey’s Pirate rule system; and The Argonne Forest in 1918, a German and American fight in the trenches during the last months of WWI using modified Trench Wars rules.

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 terrained boards, with playing pieces as small as 6mm and as large as 54mm.

Games will be facilitated by experts from HMGS Next Gen, Inc. who understand the best ways to create scenarios that will be both challenging and rewarding for the players.

Registration is required on the library’s online calendar at www.gardinerlibrary.org. The library is located at 133 Farmer’s Turnpike in Gardiner.
