Second Bull Run to show at Gamex May 25th

We will be putting on the last day of the Second Battle of Bull Run at Gamex this Saturday, May 25th.  All are invited and encouraged to attend.  It promises to be a big one!  We have a massive table that includes the fields of both the first and second Bull Run battlefields stretching six feet by eight feet!  We should be close to the front when you enter the hotel.  Just look for our big banner.

The game will start at 10 am and will go until approximately 4 pm.  Come for any part of it, or for the whole thing! The convention is at the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel.
