For the past several years, the HAWKs have been putting together painted armies, running games for kids at Historicon, and giving the painted armies away to the kids (ten and under). \u00a0The first year we gave away AWI armies. \u00a0In other years we’ve given away Seven Years War, Napoleonic, and Civil War armies. \u00a0This year we will actually run two games and give away two sets of armies. \u00a0The first is 40mm ACW, and we are getting a lot of help on that project from generous volunteers. \u00a0The second is 20mm WWII (US vs. Germans). \u00a0In November the HAWKs are going to have their first painting day, so in preparation, I glued the US forces to popsicle sticks and sprayed them khaki. \u00a0The picture above shows most, but not all, of the US figures.<\/p>\n
