Held every April, the event is a day long opportunity to play a variety of historical miniatures games with cadets
of the Wargames Club and other gamers from the local area and throughout the northeast.
The Wargames Club does
not receive any funding from West Point and supports itself with the proceeds from POINTCON each year. The admission
price for the day is $15 with all
proceeds going to the club. The club uses the money raised to buy games,
minatures, terrain and to help with expenses when we take cadets to FALL-IN, the HMGS convention in
Lancaster,
PA each fall. We thank everyone for supporting the club and hope to have your continued support in the future.
Please
let everyone know that for a fun day of gaming at West Point they should give POINTCON a try.
Thank You
