RECON 2014 24-27 APRIL International Palms Resort
6515 International Drive
Orlando, FL 32819
American Revolution Rebels and Redcoats Square Off at RECON 2014
This year’s RECON saw a resurgence of the Historical Miniatures Gaming
genre, with Board and RPG activity following. Thursday included a number of
gamers and games in the main ballroom even though the convention normally
did not start until Friday. But between a slight downturn in board and RPG
and a moderate increase in miniatures the convention broke 300 for the first
time since 2007.
It was unusual in several ways. Bill Moreno, the first recipient of the Legion
of Honor, an honor from the parent chapter of HMGS to be selected from
HMGS SOUTH, stood down from his epic presentations like last years
Yorktown Campaign to run only Champion’s Hill.
