Cold Wars (gaming)
COLD WARS® is a late winter/early spring (MARCH) table-top miniatures gaming convention. It is sponsored by the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society, Inc.® (HMGS), a nonprofit guiding organization.
Typically, COLD WARS® is a three-day convention held in late March each year. It is held in historic Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Thousands of miniature gamers and military history enthusiasts gather to take part in hundreds of tabletop games, tournaments, demonstrations, seminars and miniature hobby classes. The gaming convention is accompanied by a flea market, called WALLY'S BASEMENT (after one of the founders of HMGS, Wally Simon) where people buy and sell used gaming items and accessories, and a large Exhibitor's hall offering new merchandise. The majority of events are military history-related, with the remainder being fantasy, science fiction, steampunk, or horror miniature games.
Each year, COLD WARS® has a different theme and focal point (such as the American Civil War or World War II), and many games and supporting events are geared around the theme. Awards are presented to the Best Theme Event, as well as best games in specific time slots and other honors for particularly popular or impressive games.
COLD WARS® is held in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, at the Lancaster Host Resort, a hotel located on U.S. Route 30 in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch and Amish country for many years.
