The official web sit of the Moeller Historical Miniatures Wargaming Club.

What is Wargaming? 

     It is our attempt to recreate or simulate historical military actions and engagements.  We will "refight" both actual battles or hypothetical situations based on historical situations.  This is done using highly detailed, hand painted, scaled miniature figurines as well as scale simulations of terrain to recreate the tactical environment of a military engagement.  In other words we play with toy soldiers. 

How do we do this?

    Play is controlled by specific rules unique to each military time period.  Movement is predetermined and a ruler or tape measure is used to physically move the figures.  Dice represent luck or random factors.  Firepower and unit morale are critical issues covered by the specific rule system used for that particular game.  Success is usually a combination of how well you can recreate the proven tactics of the time period and luck.

Time periods/conflicts which we game include:

-	Ancients
-	The Alamo
-	American Civil War
-	American Civil War Ironclad Naval
-	British Colonials
-	French Foreign Legion
-	World War I
-	World War II
-	World War II Naval
-	Vietnam Conflict

We are constantly expanding to cover new time periods and conflicts.

Members of the club are not required to buy or paint miniatures but are encouraged to do both .

Alums are always welcome to come back and game with us.
