A Successful Muster

The Holiday Inn Patriot had great accomodations although there was not much food available outside of normal meal times. Bring your favorite drinks and snacks and keep them in your room. There were interesting games run by the likes of Dave Waxtel, Sam Mustafa, Old Dominion Games, Southern Maryland Partisans etc. Vendors like Age of Glory, Chesapeake Miniatures, Colonial Connection (selling off the Hinchliffe figures) Flag Dude, Cotton Jim and Toby Barrett. It felt like a smaller, friendlier HMGS convention, not soon to be forgotten. So plan to be there next year. Also a raffle with great prizes also made it interesting. Now on by order of the Shogun to the next American town, Lancaster PA.

Off to a an American colonial muster

The Shogun has commanded me and several retainers to observe the Williamsburg Muster and perhaps glean some ideas about war and gamesmanship. We are cautioned not to give away the sacred ways of Bushido to the barbarians, but they will surely learn from us about the heart of a warrior and dedication to our Shogun. The American calendar places the dates as beginning February 6, 7, 8 in the year of the Ox, 2009. Upon our return after two long journeys, we can inform the Shogun of our progress.
