The HAWKs started Barrage in 1996 as a one day event hosted at the Recreational Center of Aberdeen Proving Ground. The goal was to add an event to the regional gaming calendar, attract new members and have fun. After the first year success Barrage continued, with several venue changes, and has steadily grown in attendance. In it's current home at the Havre de Grace Community Center Barrage is now a two day event (Friday and Saturday) and is continuing to grow.
