There are still some very nice command slots still available for our September 30 - Oct 2nd mega miniatures battle, Antietam.
The battle will be fought on three beautiful terrain tables (panels prepared by Doug Kline, Battlefield Concepts).
Terry Sirk, renowned figure painter and historian (he walked A.P. Hill's route from Harper's Ferry to the battlefield when he was only 15 years old!) and Col. (Ret.) Bill Gray (who wrote his doctorate thesis on the battle) will be our guides for the most interesting Battlefield Walk you ever had. Meet at the Visitors Center at 9:00am on Friday.
