Hurricon 2025 and 2026 plans

We had a successful Hurricon, and despite a few surprises we are ready for 2026. I would like to thank our Game masters for a great set of tables. One of the challenges is the number and density of events in September in the southeast. Thanks to everyone attending and congratulations for everyone who was honored with special awards. As all the board members are also volunteers, we are deeply thankful for everyone who joins the club or sits down to play in any of our events, at the shows, or at the many garrisons in the southeastern region. 

Recon

In 2026 in the spring we have HMGS-South Recon 23-26 April 2026. Out theme is Africa. This is an open challenge for the game masters. We can run events from the Punic wars, through the middle ages, the Barbary pirate actions, the colonial scramble, and through the 21st century. 

We will open the tabletop event pages in January. Groups who want to present club tables are welcome to contact me before the new year to talk about reserving a game table for the weekend.

Hurricon

Our event in the fall is HMGS-South Hurricon that has a new date. We will move our event to 20-23 August 2026. We think that getting out of September makes a lot of sense, and does not force everyone to make tough choices. 

In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence we have chosen Fife and Drum. This leaves Game masters not only the US revolutionary war and war of 1812 periods but everything earlier and later. We could include everything from the War of Austrian Succession to the Napoleonic period. 

Start planning now for the new date!
