Subject: Wargaming at Canadian War Museum

The Canadian War Museum hosts a weekend of wargaming each spring known as
Spring Offensive. Over the course of the weekend, historical wargames (board
and miniatures) are played in space provided by the museum. In addition,
there's free sandwiches, pretzels, coffee, muffins and pop. A VCR and
widescreen TV show off war movie classics.

On a related note, the Ottawa Miniature Gamers is a club that plays historical
miniatures wargames in space provided by the museum twice a month (plus more
unofficial games in homes).

On a complementary note, Autumn Assault happens each November and is
strictly miniature based wargames but includes fantasy, sci-fi, and
historicals. It's run by local retailers and miniature manufacturers.
