HMGS, Inc., the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society, is an educational 501(c)3 (non-profit) organization whose purpose is to promote the study of military history through the art of tabletop miniature wargaming.
We are a (mostly) volunteer-run organization, whose Membership is global, with most of our Members in the Atlantic and North-East regions of the U.S., where we annually run three tabletop historical wargaming conventions: Historicon, Fall In!, and Cold Wars.
OUR TECHNOLOGY MIGRATION
HMGS, Inc. has completed the migration of our basic membership and convention processes to new platforms; next we start …
Phase 4 – Implementing New Capabilities.
Phase 3 – a new Membership system: (Feb. 2026) MemberSuite is a more modern, more flexible, and easier to administer environment.
Phase 2 – a new website platform: (Jun. 25) using WordPress for our website pages (hmgs.org, historicon.org, fall-in.org and coldwars.org) provides us with greater flexibility and easier management of the “look and feel” of our websites.
Phase 1 – a new Convention Management system: (Sep. 2024) Tabletop.Events provides a solution more closely aligned with how HMGS manages its conventions.

HELP US KEEP THINGS WORKING FOR YOU
We have recently completed our migration to new technology platforms. During that process we attempted to make sure everything works correctly (e.g., links, buttons, etc.).  If you find things that don’t work correctly (e.g., things that display correctly in a browser but not on a phone; links that go to the wrong place; etc.), the button below will take you to a form where you can report an issue, which when submitted will go directly to the IT team.
HMGS requires all online account holders to have a valid email address (and Zip/Postal Code) on file. Therefore, in our recent migration, only accounts with a valid email address were migrated.  If you had an account, on the old membership system, which was not migrated, please use the button above to contact us.  We also recommend that your email address on-file with us is the same as the email address you use with TableTop.Events.
