So why should you join?
Education:
By becoming a member, you help keep history alive. There are several events held that allow members to teach history, through our hobby. In 2023 events were held on the US Lane Victory: “Spirit of 45”, celebration. There is also the Veterans Day celebration at the Patton Museum at Chiriaco Summit in CA. There are so many opportunities for the members to help.
Meeting new players:
Gamers tend to hang out within groups. Although this is fine. These groups tend to start defining you. In general people tend to get into the same games, play the same rules, and the same time periods. By joining HMGS-PSW, you gain access to other players. Who may have other miniatures and games to offer. They also bring diversity into your knowledge base. Maybe you have had that feeling that you would like to try a different time, period? If your group of friends do not have the miniatures, how likely are you to give it a try? So, diversity is truly a treasure.
There are several ways to gain access to other members’ knowledge. There is an Email group, Discord server, Facebook, and Instagram group. Sharing ideas on rules, painting, best miniatures, etc.
