Well its a gaming convention devoted to historical gaming. Its held at the Lancaster Host PA, over 4 days in July every year. Each year draws about 3000-4000 people from around the world and around 100 dealers offering everything from figures to terrain. And games that range from ancients to ulta moderns with a little Si-Fi and Fantasy. There are tournaments, seminars and a painting competition. The events go from 9am until the wee hours. If your a gamer, military history buff and within driving distance you should try and make it you will love it!

What makes Historicon special? For me it is the people and friendships formed. I look forward to seeing this band of crazies every convention ...- THIS is the real reason I enjoy the convention. Oh yeah, and I did happen to buy some toys!
