Program Description

Event Details

On Saturday, November 19th from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm, HMGS Next Gen, Inc will run a miniature gaming event at the Simsbury Public Library. 

This session is for grades 7-12 and will feature The Battle of Agincourt. 8 players will split into 2 teams (the English vs the French) to play out this historic event. Student gamers will have the opportunity to play strategy based, miniatures games on three dimensional boards complete with painted figures, terrain, and features from this historic battle.  Games will be facilitated by experts in their craft, who understand the best ways to create scenarios that will be both challenging and rewarding for the players.

If you’ve never seen a miniatures game before, they 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 some ways, they are familiar to anyone that’s played Risk, Stratego, Axis and Allies, and other popular board games.  In the case of miniatures, games are played on fully terrain-ed boards, with playing pieces as small as 6mm and as large as 54mm.  They are enormous fun!
