AAR Wargames with Russ Lockwood – Historicon
Back from the the most entertaining and inspirational HMGS Historicon 2026 convention — full recap in this AAR. Granted, I can’t be everywhere, though I try. Plus the AAR contains the usual recaps of miniatures and other games, news, and so on. Alas, in this busy month, something had to give and my book reviews were only half the usual. But August looks to be getting back to normal.
Enjoy!
