Cold Wars 2017 PEL Has Been Posted!

So, the Cold War's PEL has finally been released and despite this being my favorite of the HMGS conventions I'm a bit underwhelmed.   I know there are plenty of events to sign up for. I also know that there are plenty of odd games at the ends of the historical spectrum.  Frostgrave gets the distinction of being the dominate non-historical game (at least the Gnomes had a historical bent to them most games).  The game I'm most interested in?   Star Wars comes to Schlegel's Ferry.


The PEL can be found here.
