Barrage XIV is a one-day mini-convention run by the Harford Area Weekly Kriegspielers. It will be held at Archbishop Curley High School cafeteria, near Baltimore, Maryland. This is a low-key event. In the past we've had a half dozen dealers, as many as 200 attendees, and thirty or more games. Bring your friends. Run a game.
Gaming begins at 9:00 AM and runs until 9:00 PM. Game masters may begin setting up their games at 8:30 AM.
The overall convention organizer is Geoff Graff. Please contact him for more information about the convention. Also contact him if you are interested in renting dealer or flea market space.
Todd Harland-While is the events coordinator. Contact him if you are interested in running games. We are always interested in game masters other than HAWKS running games at Barrage. Game masters get reduced admission rates. As the event gets closer, come here to see a list of scheduled games.
Below is a list of currently scheduled games. More are being added each day. We are seeking game masters for Barrage XIII. Come early and stay all day!
