We are a society of social tabletop gamers that get together with friends. The Pacific Southwest chapter has been active for decades. For example, here is a link to a Waterloo Napoleonic wargame we hosted in Anaheim 12 years ago at the Muzeo. Not surprisingly, this last year has been a challenge for us. Mini-Wars 2021 on October 9th and 10th at California State University Fullerton was a qualified success. At that event we will announce the winner of our election was announced and Luis Medrano joined the Board of Directors. and the winners of our History Essay Contest.
One of the ways we promote the study of history is rewarding scholarship via this essay contest.

We have worked for years to bring more Tournament Events to the Pacific Southwest. Anyone who has run one of these before understands they take a lot of manpower, time and energy. The PSW is a large Region, encompassing Arizona, Southern Nevada and Southern California. Our Bolt Action Tournament will be played out at many game stores cross the PSW throughout the Spring and Summer, and will finalize in October with Mini-Wars 2021. For information on the Bolt Action Tournament at Mini-Wars 2021 please download the Program at the link above.
