WEST POINT 2009 a successful trip! Twenty-one club members attended Point-Con XXXII in April and had a blast. Thanks to Justin & Zac, the Simulation Club's bulletin borard has been updated with a poster, map and photos of the event. We are looking for help to put together comments and photos for an electronic report to be posted on the school's website.
POINTCON XXXII a great time! The Simulation Club had a one-hour private tour of Fort Putnam with a presentation my Major Rider of the Academy's History Department. There were many miniature games set up and club members participted in most every one of them. Vic Gregoire was a first-time chaperone and he GM'd a game of Russians vs. Japanese in 1939 that was well-received.
The club wishes to thank our chaperones: Mr. Gregoire, Sergeant Rahill, Ms. Audette, "Cookie" Omerod and Mr. van den Berg.
