The Top 10 Reasons to Attend Historicon
Convention Theme:
“The World on Fire” – The Seven Years and French & Indian Wars, 1754-63
HISTORICON 2008 is now close enough to share with you an advance look at some
of the exciting things planned for our “Flagship” convention. Details will be
posted on this web site when available.
Note: Over the next few weeks our web site is being revised.
The theme for HISTORICON 2008 recognizes
“The World on Fire” – The Seven Years and French & Indian Wars, 1754-63
– a unique period of eighteenth century
warfare. For complete information on the theme, along with some theme games that
will be at the convention, click on the link to the left. While the convention
will feature a number of games related to the theme, there will also be hundreds
of non-theme games to represent nearly all periods of military history, as well
as seminars and tournaments, for your gaming enjoyment!
As it does every year, HISTORICON presents “the world’s largest hobby shop”,
plus the world’s biggest hobby flea market, for four days every July. Both
offer a gigantic selection of military miniatures, rules, books and anything
else needed for the historical miniature gaming hobby.
Many attendees return each year. In fact, they plan well ahead with their
families so that HISTORICON is one of their vacations! For those family members
who may not be interested in miniature gaming, then Lancaster, Pennsylvania has
lots to do and see, including outlet stores and all sorts of specialty shops for
everyone. Great shopping, great restaurants and great entertainment options make
HISTORICON the perfect vacation spot where historical miniature gamers can return
every July, year, after year, after year!
