UPCOMING SPECIAL EVENTS/NEWS
NOVAG/Potomac Wargamers
Game Days. I
say Game Days, because on Saturday 26 Jan Brian DeWitt hosted an open
gaming session at the City of Fairfax library. He ran a WWI naval game
and Chris Brand ran an auto racing game. There must have been round 15 folks
there with Fred Haub providing lunch. Sunday saw us at the Centreville
Library. Thanks to all the GMs and gamers who came out to make both days
a success.
