March 17th Game

Hey folks,

Doug Martin has graciously volunteered to put on the March 17th game. The game will be a 15mm WWII battle between the Germans and Brits in the ETO. The rules are Battlefront and the figures will all be provided. Should be a great time!

Winter 2012 Schedule

Hey gang,

As we head into February our schedule will be getting really wild. We will be playing our first weekend game in February at the Source and then we will be taking our show on the road.

The third weekend we will be putting on a number of games at the Con of the North in conjunction with the Source. This is a cool con so c'mon by. We'll be playing some SYW, Napoleonics, and a whole lot more.

Next, the first Saturday in March is the next ReCon. The plan is to put on a game or two there too. Tom wants a TYW rematch, so be there. It's close and fun and you get a chance to see what others in the area are up to.

We'll be heading back to the Source on the third Saturday of March. The games for the third weekend in March and the first weekend in April have not been decided yet, so let me know if there is something you want to run or see run on those dates. Doug Martin will be running another game of Regimental Fire & Fury on the third Saturday of April.

February Schedule and Beyond

Hey folks,

Happy New Year! It is already 2012 and we have many exciting things planned for this year. First, it is the 200th anniversary of Napoleon's invasion of Russia. Some of the gang are working on a refight of the Battle of Moskva/Borodino using Napoleon's Battles. We will be previewing the game at Con of the North and looking at a bigger game, allowing for some of the strategic options discussed by historians, for later this summer. Stay tuned for that.

In addition, Chris Combs and I will be putting the final touches on our Battle of Warburg game which will also demo at CotN in February. All of the right troops should be available for this demo and, if all goes well, Chris and I plan to bring it to the SYW Con in March to represent the club. Wish us luck.

And finally, the Source is planning to relocate in February to their new location opposite Har Mar Mall on Snelling. They are going into the space next to Eric's Bike Shop. This location offers more retail space for the store and more parking, but it is playing hobb with our gaming schedule. I am reliably informed that there will be gaming space for us on Jan. 21st, though where is still a question. Also, our game on Feb. 4th will still be going on so come and see LaSalle demonstrated. Bruce Peglow has volunteered to put on the game and provide the figures. Should be a good time! Add the following to your calendar:

Saturday - Feb 4th
15mm Napoleonics - LaSalle
Peninsular Campaign
French v. British & Allies
11am Source Comics and Games

The weekend of Feb 17th - 19th is Con of the North. We have several games scheduled for that convention and hope to see you there. The list of games is as follows:

25mm ACW using Brother Against Brother
15mm SYW using Koenig Krieg, the Battle of Warburg
15mm Napoleonics using Napoleon's Battles, Battle of Moskva/Borodino
15mm SYW using Koenig Krieg, Wars of the Jumbled Alliances
25mm Napoleonics using Horse, Musket, & Gun

We are always looking for new games and people to run them. Please contact me if you are interested in a particular period and/or want to run a game.
