Battle Hymn 2010 gaming convention in Richmond, VA!

[Hubcommish]

It’s time once again for Battle Hymn, a friendly local gaming convention taking place on Saturday May 8, 2010 here near Richmond, Virginia! This year, the Richmond Leisure Society has combined forces with the Virginia Aviation Museum to put on quite a show. We’re especially excited about this partnership. Only at the Virginia Aviation Museum can you get up close and personal with an actual Great War fighter, an SR-71 Blackbird, a Huey Slick, and William Randolph Hearst’s personal air-limo!

The central hall of the museum has been given over to gaming, and several secondary areas have been made available for our use.

The Richmond Leisure Society has several games planned for the event, but we need more folks willing to present some games. Any type of miniatures game is welcome, whether historical, science fiction or fantasy. Board gamers are also encouraged to join us! It must be remembered that the general public and museum members will be attending, so introductory games would be appreciated.

Based on the Virginia Aviation Museum’s operating schedule, the time available for the gaming tables has been divided into two 2.5 hour slots, with an hour break in between, as follows:

1000 - 1230 slot one 1330 - 1600 slot two

The Museum opens at 0930 and closes at 1700, so we have uninterrupted time in between. If anyone would like to use two slots for a longer game, it can be arranged.

Besides our miniatures and board gaming, attractions include a mini movie theatre continuously showing the Soviet classic “Liberation” and other films, a full-motion flight simulator, and all of the outstanding exhibits that are part of the museum! A guided tour of the exhibits will be given during the break in gaming as well.

Admission is $6 per adult, $5 per child under 18. Seniors and active military enjoy reduced rates.

Folks interested in running a game, please contact me at: Battlehymn (at) inbox (dot) com and I can reserve a table and slot for your game.

If any games publisher would care to send a representative to demo a game, we'd be more than happy to accommodate you!
