In late September, 2011, we successfully organized and ran our first wargaming convention, Texas BROADSIDE! 2011. Fifty plus wargamers from around the world attended and enjoyed a weekend of wargaming and camaraderie aboard the USS TEXAS (BB-35).
Each year since we've organized and run this event, a wargame convention that we hope to run around the same time every year. At Texas BROADSIDE! you can expect to witness and/or play in wargames that depict military actions on land, in the air, and above and below the surface of the sea. Several of these games may even feature the USS TEXAS herself. Our goals for this event are four-fold:
We would appreciate your help in advertising our forthcoming wargame convention, by word of mouth or by forwarding our web site address to fellow gamers and hobbyists. On our Documents page you will find a number of convention flyers, ads, and our most recent program. You can also help us spread the word about Texas BROADSIDE! by downloading one or more of these documents, printing a few, and asking your local game store or hobby store to place them on display for their customers. We are also looking for game masters (GM), volunteers, and corporate sponsors who can support our endeavor with running games, advertising, and prize support. A wargame convention cannot succeed without the assistance of these hard working generous folks. Each year we try and arrange some gift to give to our volunteers as a guesture of thanks for their help in making our event successful, and as a corporate sponsor we will include your company logo in our program and on our web site. Please contact us using the email below if you would like to help. All of our after-expense convention profit will go directly to the Battleship Texas Foundation and the Houston Maritime Center and Museum, both non-profit organizations. If you are unable to attend the convention, but would still like to help us help the TEXAS, please consider a $5 or $10 donation, made using our Donation page. Your contribution will enable us to provide a better experience for all involved and help us succeed in our overall mission. Those that support us with a donation will be recognized in our convention program and in the space on this page below. If you have any questions or would like to help, please email us at: [email protected]. |
