Chicago Skirmish Wargames

This weekend many of us here in Chicago will be making the pilgrimage to Games Plus, an excellent suburban game shop that's hosted many of our game nights. Oct. 6 Is their twice-annual miniatures game auction, and it's a fantastic opportunity to gamers to get their hands on miniatures, terrain, hobby supplies, rulebooks and more for very attractive prices.

I'd hazard a guess that most of the projects and games we've run over the years -- from our Song of Blades & Heroes campaigns to our 28mm Mech Attack convention games -- have been catalyzed by cheap pick-ups from the game auction. It's worth the drive if you're anywhere near northern Illinois on Sunday!
