Close Action at Upcoming Conventions Twenty-first century support for eighteenth century combat

UPCOMING CONVENTION EVENTS

I generally have copies of The Naval Register software with me at conventions. If you are planning to purchase, however, please contact me in advance so I can make sure to have a CD with me in the configuration that you want.
