HMGS, Inc., the Historical Miniatures Gaming Society, is an educational 501(c)3 (non-profit) organization whose purpose is to promote the study of military history through the art of tabletop miniature wargaming.
We are a (mostly) volunteer-run organization, whose Membership is global, with most of our Members in the Atlantic and North-East regions of the U.S., where we annually run three tabletop wargaming conventions: Historicon, Fall In!, and Cold Wars.
The above buttons take you to pages hosted on Your Membership, our current membership system, at hmgs.site-ym.com.
HMGS' TECHNOLOGY MIGRATION
HMGS, Inc. is in the middle of process to upgrade the systems and technology that support our conventions and membership functions.
Phase 1 was the transition of “convention event support” from Your Membership (YM) to Tabletop.Events, providing a solution more closely aligned with how HMGS manages its conventions.
Phase 2 was the migration of the website pages (for hmgs.org, historicon.org, fall-in.org and coldwars.org) to this WordPress platform, providing us with greater flexibility and easier management of the “look and feel” of our websites
Phase 3 (currently underway) is to transition the membership functions from YM to a more modern, more flexible, and easier to manage environment. As part of this transition, we are cleaning up data. IF your account doesn’t have a valid email address it may be suspended by the system administrators; suspended accounts will not be migrated. To reinstate your account you will need to contact us with a valid email address.
For now Membership (and access to Member-restricted information) is still managed in YM. With hmgs.org pointing here, all HMGS’ Membership functions still on YM will show a URL that starts with https://hmgs.site-ym.com/.
HELP KEEP OUR DATA CLEAN
HMGS requires all Members & Guests to have a valid email address (and Zip/Postal Code) on file.
Please LOGIN and verify that your Profile information is up to date; as we are in the process of upgrading our systems. Having your correct information on-file before any data migration takes place will reduce the number of migration issues you may face.
(If your account is “suspended”go here for more information.)
We also recommend that your email address on-file with us is the same as the email address you use with TableTop.Events.
HELP US KEEP THINGS WORKING
As we migrate to our new technology platforms, we attempt to make sure everything works correctly (e.g., links, buttons, etc.).
If you find things that don’t work correctly (e.g. things that display correctly in a browser but not on a phone; links that go to the wrong place; etc.), the button below will take you to a form where you can report an issue, which when submitted will go directly to the IT team.
