On Saturday May 10 from 11am to 3pm, your $10 discounted admission to the Wright Tavern Museum (2 Lexington Road in Concord. MA) comes with the opportunity to play a historical miniatures game of the British Retreat from Concord on April 19, 1775. We will be using Musket and Tomahawk rules which enable players to command British Regulars or minutemen and militia units. Dice are used to determine the outcomes of your firefights.

Children above the age of 8 with an adult are encouraged to participate.

Prizes will be awarded for best players. Can you do better than Colonel Smith and his Regulars? Or will your wily militia and minutemen send the Regulars scurrying back to Boston along the Battle Road?

The Wright Tavern tea room will be converted to a miniature battlefield for this exciting event. Play a game in the building which hosted both Rebels and Redcoats on that fateful day of April 19, 1775.  See if your shots will also be heard around the world.

This event is sponsored by the Old Colony War Gamers as part of the club’s celebration of 50 years of gaming. It’s also a Concord 250 event. All proceeds benefit the Wright Tavern.
