Miniature Gaming Convention
Center Place
Mirabeau Point Park
2426 N. Discovery Place
Spokane Valley, WA 99216
October 9, 10, and 11 2009
Tactical Solutions is a new miniatures gaming convention in the Spokane Valley. It is run under the egis of the Northwest Historical Miniature Gaming Society (NHMGS) and focuses on historical and science fiction miniatures gaming.
2007 was the first year and a wide spread of historical and science fiction gaming was displayed including Flames of War, Age of Sail, DBA, Fire and Fury, Watch your Six!, Hordes of Things, Space 1889, and many others. Response was so good that the convention has changed hotels to a much larger venue for 2008.
Added for 2008 was a Flames of War and a War Hammer 40K tournaments, painting competitions, and more vendors. The commitment is to keep the standards for gaming and figure quality high and the costs low.
We are currently soliciting for GM's and Vendors for 2009 as we are in a brand new 3,400 square foot venue. Please help us fill this up!
