We've arranged special room rates for Millennium attendees. If you mention LSHM when you make your reservation, you'll get your rooms for $85.00 per night (before November 1, 2010). Be sure to mention you are with LSHM. It gets you a lower rate (normal rate is $99) and reduces the cost of the convention area, which, in turn, helps keep down the registration fees !

You must make reservations by phone (512-341-7000). Internet reservations for the Wingate Inn in Round Rock do not give the special discount.

There is also a complimentary hot breakfast, free internet, and room microwaves and refrigerators.

Millenniumcon 12

Millenniumcon 12 is over. The convention was a great success and we are all looking forward to Millenniumcon 12+1.  This will be the 13th annual Millenniumcon event.

Well our big gaming event is now over and I've had a day or two to recover. A giant thanks go out to everyone who helped to make Millennium 12 a huge success. More than 195 games were put on for the enjoyment of the gaming crowd, including over 275 participants We had a packed flea market event too. For a slide presentation of the vendors and games at Millenniumcon 12, click here.

The LSHM Challenge had a great showing as well with numerous strong submissions. Among all the great Challenge games, six would gather the most votes - Waterloo - The Whole Shebang (Waco), Starmada: Dust Shoals of Samar (Austin), Shockley's Village: Northwestern Spain, 1809 (West Texas), For Crown or the Parliament? 28mm English Civil War! (DFW), Battle on the Chickahominy (DFW), and Showdown at Gazala! (Austin).

Waterloo - The Whole Shebang (Waco) was finally crowned LSHM Challenge winner for Millennium 12. Great job by everyone.

The FOG, DBA, HoTT and Battletech tournaments were a success.

A new figure, thanks to Rob Smith and Great Hall Games, was the FOG Sandal Camp on Friday which introduced novices to the rules of Field of Glory. Next year we paln to also include a Boot Camp for Flames of War.

Again thanks to everyone (especially my crew) for making Millennium 12 a success. I described the scene more than once as buzzing like a beehive; the energy and electricity were quite visible. We are already looking ahead to 12+1 to continue that energy and hope you will join us in that endeavor.

Take care and see you at 12+1
Chip Aaron - Convention Director

What kind of convention is Millennium?

Our convention caters to many different gaming tastes and styles. Unlike other conventions that support multiple genres, we don't have one group trying to be all things to all people. The historical miniatures and board gaming events are hosted by Lone Star Historical Miniatures. Our RPGA events are hosted by volunteers local RPGA volunteers.

Lone Star Historical Miniatures

Lone Star Historical Miniatures serves both the states of Texas and Louisiana. We promote miniatures wargaming in both the historical and fantasy/sci-fi groups.  We are not dedicated to one rule set, we encourage diversity.

The annual Millennium Gaming Convention in Austin is coordinated by the LSHM Millennium Gaming Convention (an owed entity of LSHM). The Millennium Convention offers miniatures, board games, card games and tournaments. We also have a dealer room with both retailers and manufacturers.

Least we forget past Millennium Conventions, you are invited to revisit the conventions by viewing the Millenniumcon 12 photos, Millennium X photo album, Millennium 8 photo album or the Millennium 9 photo album and the list of 2009 games.
