Sergeants Miniatures Game - What is it??

-

Sergeants Miniatures Game (SMG) is a bit different than a lot of typical miniatures game in existence.  Sergeants is not just a set of rules, but a full system that allows you to buy a base, starter set, a few extra figures, and you can play the game.   I remember seeing at some of the conventions in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where people would walk out of the dealer hall with a new game, sit down at an empty table, open things up, and start playing the game.   SMG, and its sister game Sergeants D-Day, are manufactured by Lost Battalion Games  ( Lost Battalion Games Site ).  Both offer a similar experience of play.  SMG is available with both base sets for the American Airborne, Day of Days, and the British Airborne, Red Devils.  There are also several expansion sets available for both nationality paths.  Expansions include scenario packs, with scenario books, and new terrain maps, soldier packs, and even 3D terrain buildings, "hasty positions", and trenches.  The system uses t

Pulp Alley Superhero Cards for Mayhem Convention Game

The question of whether or not a person should drive, by themselves, about six hours one way, for a game convention, is not really a subject that comes up in discussion too often.  Maybe it is something some people discuss more than others, but I would guess in the usual lives of most people, it never happens.   That being said, the last couple of years, that discussion arose in my mind, due to the origin of a new gaming convention in Lebanon, New Hampshire, called Mayhem.  Mayhem has been held in April, though thinking about it, May would better fit the name (Aprilhem anyone?).    When I heard about this convention last year, I decided to go, due to the fact that I had not been to an in person convention since Historicon 2019 in July of that year.  I had been prepared to attend Cold Wars 2020, the weekend of March 13th, but I did not know if the convention would cancel or not and did not want to get stuck with a hotel bill, and no reason to be in the hotel, so I canceled my game.  Col
