ReCon, March 3rd

2012-02-07T00:14:00.002-06:00

Hey gang,

Just a correction. Tom says the game he will run at ReCon will be SYW using Koenig Krieg. He would like everyone to bring their troops and he will be putting on a Wars of the Jumbled Alliances scenario. Tom will be bringing his Prussians and Russians for those who do not have troops. It'll be a great time so I hope you can make it.

March 17th Game

2012-01-30T23:22:00.002-06:00

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

2012-01-23T00:09:00.004-06:00

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

2012-01-02T23:51:00.003-06:00

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.

Schedule Changes

2011-12-14T01:23:00.002-06:00

Hey gang,

Due to some things beyond our control there are some changes to the schedule. The Source will be having their huge Customer Appreciation sale on Saturday, Dec. 17th. Because of this we will be cancelling the game at the Source as there will be no room for our game. Right now we are looking at moving the game to Jeff Johnson's place and changing the game from 25mm Napoleonics to 15mm ACW.

In addition, the game on Jan. 21st is now tentative because of the Source's move to their new location. In talking to Bob of the Source one of three things will happen that day. We will either be playing at the old location (if there are tables) or we will be playing at the new location or we will be relocating. I will keep you informed.

New Schedule for 2012

2011-12-07T02:08:00.004-06:00

Hey gang,

A new year is upon us and we have a new schedule of upcoming games.

15mm Samurai - Field of Glory
11am Source Comics and Games

Saturday - Jan 21st
15mm SYW - Koenig Kreig

Later in the month we will be putting on a Seven Years War game featuring Mark's new Russians and Tom's new artillery park. Jack's Austrians will also be putting in an appearance for this game too. It will be another one of our Wars of the Jumbled Alliances game and all are welcome.

Hope to see all of you at these games. If there is something that you want to see played in the upcoming year please drop me a line and let me know.

Fitz

Last game of the year is just announced

2011-10-05T00:20:00.003-05:00

Hey gang,

Jeff and Gunther Johnson have claimed the last game day for 2011, Dec. 17th. They will be putting on a 25mm Napoleonics game of Horse, Musket, and Gun. Figures will be provided and all experience levels are welcome. Horse, Musket, and Gun is a new set of rules that Jeff has been working on for some time. They are easy to learn and quick to play. This promises to be a very entertaining game. Hope to see you there!

Fitz

Rounding out the year

2011-10-02T00:43:00.003-05:00

First Playtest

Hope to see you there!

Con of the North - SYWCON - BAR

2011-09-08T09:47:00.003-05:00

Greetings Everyone,

Just want to touch on a couple of quick subjects.

Con of the North
We are putting together a list of events for the Con of the North (Feb 17-19) and want to make sure everyone is on board with the schedule.

Friday Feb 17 – 2 PM to 8 PM – 25mm Brother against Brother – The Road to First Bull Run

All games will be hosted by the Centurions and sponsored by the Source Comics and Games. We are working with the staff at Con of the North to make sure we have the necessary space to run these games.

The Battle of Warburg is an event several people are planning to put on at the SYW convention and this will be the final full blown play test.

I will be getting a hotel room; those interested in getting a room as well will be well advised to make reservations early as the hotel has a tendency to fill up.

Friday 1400-2000
The Road to First Bull Run
Brother against Brother
Six Players
The American Civil War was in its infancy and popular view was one quick battle and the war would be over still held sway in both the North and the South. In preparation for the Federal Army’s Manassas Campaign Union Forces attempt to take the Potomac Crossing at Seneca Fall held by Roberdea Wheat’s 1st Louisiana Special Battalion on July 14th 1861.
Special – This game should complete around 1700 with cleanup taking about an hour. Setup of the Battle of Warburg will begin shortly after a quick break for Supper.

Friday 2000 - 0200
Battle of Warburg
Koenig Krieg – 2nd Edition
Twelve Players
The Seven Years’ War is beginning to wind down in continental Europe. The French Army under duc de Broglie have gone on the offensive and invaded the British Allies of Hesse. The Grande Armée has connected with the Army of the Lower Rhine and has moved into a favorable position against the Ferdinand’s Hessian Forces. Seeking to push the Hessian duc de Broglie leaves Chevalier de Muy Corps defending Warburg as the Grande Armée pushes further into Hesse. Has Ferdinand found the weak link in the French Position.

Saturday 1000 – 1800
Battle of Borodino
Napoleon’s Battle – 3rd Edition
Twelve Players
Napoleon’s invasion of vast heartland of Russia had seen months of marching and fighting, however the elusive Russian Armies refused to stand and fight a decisive Battle. Less than 100 miles from Moscow Czar Alexander and Field Marshall Prince Kutuzov have decided to make their stand at the sleepy hamlet of Borodino. Napoleon has mustered every soldier in an attempt to shatter the Russian Army.

Saturday 1800 – 0200
Battle of the Jumbled Alliances
Koenig Krieg – 2nd Edition
Twelve Players
Sometime serious wargamers need a break; while the army lists and makeup are historic players will randomly be assigned. Players are encouraged to bring their own forces and priority will be given to players that do and a number of units will also be available.

Sunday 1000 – 1800
Battle of La Suffel
Horse Musket and Gun
Eight Players
Ten days after the Battle of Waterloo the French V Corps under General Rapp comes under attack from Austrian III Corps near Strasbourg. Join us for a Napoleonic Battle in 25mm as we attempt to discover if the French can hold off the superior numbers of the Austrians.

Seven Years' War Convention
If you don’t already have it in your calendar The Seven Years War Convention is March 30th and 31st, 2012 in South Bend Indiana.

Batailles de l'Ancien Régime
After much gnashing of teeth and discussion we have decided to move forward with a Batailles de l'Ancien Régime (aka BAR) project, focusing on the series of wars which occur between 1737 and 1748. This includes a Russo-Austrian-Turkish War, King George’s War, the War of Jenkin’s Ear, the Silesian Wars amongst many other conflicts between the European Powers.
The project will works towards 1:10 figure to men ratios using 25mm Figures.
I have jumped in front of the bus and will be painting more Austrians, there is a rumor that someone is painting Turks; however Russians (and them bloody Cossacks) will be in short supply.

Fall 2011 Schedule or how a good plan goes awry

2011-08-23T06:09:00.003-05:00

Hey gang,

So we have a new plan... I've had a request for a couple of games that have necessitated some changes to our schedule for the fall. The new schedule is as follows:

Sept. 3rd - 10mm TYW game - Field of Glory
11:00 am Source Comics & Games
This is Labor Day weekend and we'll see what happens.

Sept. 17th - 25mm Samurai - Field of Glory*
11:00 am Source Comics and Games
*Rules are still under discussion

Oct. 1st -15mm Ancients - Field of Glory
Romans v. Carthage
11:00 am Source Comics and Games
This is a reschedule of the game from 9/17

Oct. 15th - 10mm Napoleonics game - Napoleonic Command
Bavarians v. Russians (or Austrians)
11:00 am Source Comics & Games

Nov. 5th - 15mm SYW - Koenig Kreig

Hope to see you there!

Fitz

September Schedule

2011-08-07T04:03:00.003-05:00

Hey gang,

Here's the schedule for September.

Sept. 3rd - 10mm TYW game - Field of Glory
11:00 am Source Comics & Games
This is Labor Day weekend and we'll see what happens.

Sept. 17 - 15mm Ancients - Field of Glory
Romans v. Carthage
11:00 am Source Comics and Games

For those that weren't able to make the game this weekend, you missed Show-and-Tell. Turns out that there are plenty of Punic troops laying around, both Doug and Noel stopped by to show off their Cartheginians. In addition, Doug has a sizeable collection of Republican Romans too. And Joe K. couldn't resist showing off his large collection of Seleucid troops. Looks like we are ready for a new period of Ancients.

As for the TYW period we should see some new armies come into play. Expect a larger Swedish presence and look for some actual Imperialists to show up at the next game. Should be interesting. I know that the game is slated for the Labor Day weekend but when we last ran a TYW game, which was on the 4th of July weekend, we had an amazing turnout. I hope that we can repeat that in September.

Hope you can make the games.

Fitz

August Schedule is confirmed

2011-07-26T02:20:00.002-05:00

Folks,

The August schedule has been confirmed. We will be doing a FoG game on the first weekend. Originally I had hoped to do a Punic-themed game but it was not to be, so we will be doing another EIR-themed game.

On the third weekend we will be playing SYW using Koenig Krieg. Tom Zwirn and Jeff Johnson are throwing this game together and questions about it are best addressed to them. This will be a central theater game but, as always, all forces are welcome.

Hope to see you at the games.

Fitz

Game on Saturday, July 30th

2011-07-26T02:09:00.002-05:00

Hey gang,

Elliott James has decided to add another Napoleonic Command game to the schedule this month. As you probably know by now he has had to roll his Misfits of Gaming group in with another, the Geek Partnership Society. This has brought him a number of advantages, including the use of their clubhouse. Included below are the specifics of Elliott's game:
"I'm going to be putting on another NC game on 7/30, sorry for the short notice.

Venue will be Geek Partnership Society,1121 Jackson Street NE Ste 105 & 135Mpls, MN 554413
Jackson is one street west of Central at Broadway. Jeff, this is the site I'm suggesting if we need a public/private venue away from the Source. If you can support I would be greatful.

Elliott"

Hope you can make it.

Fitz

Tentative August Schedule

2011-06-05T01:28:00.003-05:00

Hey gang,

Here's what we are looking at for August:

Aug 6th - 15mm Ancients - Field of Glory
Early Imperial Romans v. the World
11:00 am Source Comics and Games

Aug 20th - 15mm SYW - Koenig Kreig
War of Jumbled Alliances
11:00 am Source Comics and Games

These games are tentative right now, depending on whether someone has to run their favorite game. We are always open for new games and are looking for driven people who would like to try their hand at refereeing games (either the existing games we are playing or some new period.) Please feel free to contact me and let me know if you'd like to try running a particular scenario.

Fitz

June and July 2011 Schedule

2011-05-23T01:26:00.004-05:00

Hey gang,

Here is the schedule for June and July.

June

4th - 15mm Ancients game - Field of Glory
Early Imperial Rome v. Sassanids
11:00 am Source Comics & Games

18th - 15mm Napoleonics game - Napoleon's Battles
Hundred Days Campaign
11:00 am Source Comics & Games

July

2nd - 10mm TYW game - Field of Glory
11:00 am Source Comics & Games

(Change)16th - 10mm Napoleonics game - Napoleonic Command
11:00 am Source Comics & Games

As always all experience levels are welcome and figures will be provided, though players are encouraged to provide their own commands.

May Schedule

2011-04-24T00:47:00.002-05:00

First, our normal game on the 7th will not be happening at the Source due to their Free Comic Book Day event. Free Comic Book Day happens on the first Saturday in May every year and I forget about it every year. Jeff Johnson wanted to put on a game that day and I have not heard if there will be a different venue for it yet. I will keep you informed.

Second, we will be playing 10mm TYW on the 21st. Due to the amount of troops that are in the works for the game it is impractical to try and run another game using Forlorn Hope at this time. So, given the success of the Field of Glory game on Apr. 18th, I am going to try using the FoG Renaissance rules for the game on the 21st. We had a lot of success with people picking up the rules very quickly for the Roman Civil War game and I am hoping that we will have the same success with the TYW period. Tom and I will be exploring options for the game as the TYW project has an odd basing system that will affect how the game is played.

Fitz

Apr. 16th Game

2011-03-06T00:56:00.003-06:00

This game will be our attempt at restarting Ancients for the group.

Tom Zwirn is putting the finishing touches on his 69 AD Roman Civil War plan and wants to put a game on the table this spring. This is the Year of the Four Emperors when civil war tears the Roman world apart and Vespasian would restore order. Tom has been working on several Principate period armies and will be using them to put on the game.

As always all experience levels are welcome and all figures will be provided. If you want to provide your own figures for the game Tom asks that you keep them to the period around 69 AD and the Roman Empire.

Fitz

Spring 2011 Schedule

2011-02-26T01:02:00.005-06:00

Upcoming Outing - February 18th & 19th

2011-02-12T00:34:00.002-06:00

The next Centurions outing will occur on the normal weekend but we will be changing the venue at the request of the people at the Source. We were asked if we would mind putting on a couple of games at Con of the North and I told the Source people that I'd put on a couple of games that weekend. I realize that there will be a cost to these games, the entrance fee, but I hope that you will show up for one or both games.

Game #1. I will be putting on a 15mm Napoleonics game using Napoleon's Battles. I'm still working on the sides but the game will begin setup around 3:00 pm and I don't expect it to last more than four hours. All experience levels will be welcome and all figures will be provided.

Game #2. Tom Zwirn and I will be putting on a 15mm Seven Years War game using Koenig Krieg. This will be an Austrian v. Prussian game though you are welcome to show up with whatever troops you have, we'll find room for you. This game will begin setup around 10:00 am will last until we are done.

Hope to see you there. For more information about the con, see their website: http://www.conofthenorth.org

Projects for 2011

2010-11-22T09:56:00.004-06:00

A little heads up on the projects that people are discussing, painting figures for, and planning on for 2011.

10mm Forlorn Hope/Other Thirty Years War
Tom Zwirn is the driving force behind this project, and the painting machine is well at work.

25mm Drums of War along the Mohawk [AKA Drums] for the French and Indian War
Over the years I have collected and painted a few figures for this project and finally I have enough figures to get a game started. In conjunction with Brent Olson we will be running a game in January to see what everyone’s level of interest is.

25mm Rank and File American Civil War
As we quickly approach the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War this is another project that I am pushing. Our goal is to start fairly small with players pushing a Brigade of Infantry and associated Artillery and working our ways up into players commanding Multiple Brigades.
We plan on doing a minor game in either February or March and maybe a larger game in July to commemorate the First Battle of Bull Run.

A couple of projects that it wouldn't take a whole lot of effort to get off the ground, but someone needs to take charge and make it happen.

15mm Fields of Glory - Punic Wars.
Fitz has a Carthaginian Army, Joe Knight has a Seleucid Army, I have most of Macedonian Successor Army (actually make up to be determined). The real push would be made if some painted up and pushed a Mid-Republican Roman Army.

Continuing projects and Games
15mm Koenig Krieg 2nd Edition War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Years War
10mm Napoleonic Command Napoleonic Wars
15mm Napoleon’s Battles Napoleonic Wars
25mm Horse Musket and Gun 1813 Campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars
15mm Spearhead World War II

Projects on the periphery that may make a special appearance
25mm Might of Arms First Crusade
25mm Wilderness WarsAmerican War of Independence
15mm Rally Round the Flag / Rifle Wars American Civil War
Mirco Rules to be Determined World War II Pacific Naval
15mm Broadsword World War II Pacific Theater
Micro Modern Spearhead Modern Micro Armor

Of course there are a number of other projects that players have either started painting figures for or talked about that aren’t in playable condition at the moment, so if you are interested in something come on down to one of our game days and talk with us.

Some Planned or tentatively planned events:
The Centurions are looking to partner with SPI [St. Paul Irregulars] at doing a large 15mm KK game day using some sort of Campaign / Multi-Table Battle sometime late winter/spring time frame. If you have any ideas or “the what not” please let me know (The other other Jeff).

As usual a number of Centurions will be attending the Seven Year's War Convention in South Bend Indiana over March 25th and 26th. http://www.sywconvention.com/ If you are interested in attending please talk with Claudius, I mean Fitz. Currently we are discussing running the Battle of Grocka between the Austrian Empire and Ottoman Empire in 1739 using 2nd Edition KK.
I am pretty sure there will be a Game of BAR also occurring at the Con.

In May I will running a 25mm Napoleonic Game on some what a large scale, using Horse Musket and Gun. This of course is my Birthday Game.

In July I will be running a 25mm ACW game to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas).

TURKENKRIEG!

Due to scheduling conflicts with several members I had to scale back the scope of the game I wanted to run on Saturday. I decided that it would be easiest to throw on a small game of KK instead of trying to run a game of the largest battle in the Peninsular period of the Napoleonic Wars.

And then I was assailed by the Grand Turk's least favorite son-in-law who declared that the Turks were on the move north to invade the Hereditary Lands yet again...

So the game this Saturday is going to be a Turkish grudge match with the Austrians in 15mm using Koenig Krieg. All the specifics for the game are the same, noon start @ the Source. Bring figures if you have them, yada, yada, yada...

Sorry for the late notice and I hope to see you there.

CORRECTION/CHANGE - Upcoming Game - Oct 16th

2010-09-26T02:12:00.005-05:00

CORRECTION/CHANGE -

Due to a run of incredible bad luck we will have to reschedule this game for sometime in the winter. Right now it is looking like January. I'll keep you informed. My sincere apologies to everyone that had planned to make this game, however, we will still be meeting on Saturday to play.

On October 16th we will take another stab at the Battle of Vittoria using Napoleon's Battles...

Hastings Game - May 8th

2010-05-07T11:15:00.002-05:00

Due to a lack of interest in 25mm AWI or F&IW we have had to change the game line up at the Levee Cafe this weekend. There will be no game on Friday night and we will be playing Napoleon's Battles in 15mm on Saturday. The scenario is set in 1809 and all figures will be provided. Hope to see you there.

Upcoming Game - June 19th

2010-05-07T11:10:00.002-05:00

I will be putting on a 25mm ECW game. We will be trying a BAR variant for the ECW. I've had several requests to try this and we'll give it a shot on the 19th. As always, the game will be at the Source and will begin around 11:00 am. All figures will be provided and the game should be a hoot. Hope you can make it.

Report from South Bend

POSTED on behalf of Jeff Knudsen.

I just got back from the annual convention of the Seven Years War Association, where I ran a naval scenario set on Lake Champlain in 1776. Between the quality of the events at this gathering, the good company of the scholars and gentlemen in attendance, the engaging and thought-provoking lecture by the eminent Dr. Dennis Showalter, and the fine food and impressive array of single-malts next door at the Fiddler's Hearth, it was indeed a weekend to remember. Many thanks to Randy Frye, convention director, for his hard work and dedication, and congratulations to Tod Kershner and Dale Wood on the Best Event award, which earns them a well-deserved place on the Pour le Merite trophy.

There are three sets of pictures on my Flickr page here:

For those who are interested in naval warfare on the Great Lakes, or indeed naval warfare during the Age of Sail in general, you can download the set of rules used in my game ("Away, Boarders!") and a free sample of the cardstock model ships at my new website:

It's a little bare-bones so far, but there's a few interesting items there and I'll be adding more regularly.

Regards,

Jeff

Thanks to the St. Paul Irregulars for a Great Game

2010-01-24T12:54:00.002-06:00

I would like to thank the St. Paul Irregulars for putting on Saturday's Carnage and Glory 15mm Napoleonic Game at the Levee Cafe. It was a beautifully presented game that was well designed and run.

I wish I personally could have stayed until the end to relish the massive Prussian Victory that was coming; however with a new puppy in the house I had to leave at 5PM just as the Prussian Hammer started forward. So I will need to allow my Prussian allies provide a great AAR so that I may Marvel at its brilliance.

Thanks once again.

January 23rd - Levee Cafe' Game - Carnage and Glory

2010-01-18T12:49:00.000-06:00

1813 Game

A Prusso – Russian Army is advancing from the South towards Saxony. Elements of the Army of Germany will attempt to stop them.

This is a game from our 1813 Russia Rising campaign game where there was no invasion of Russia – The Prussians, showing their normal political savvy, have joined them. Austria is still not sure what to do – their normal plan :_)

We will play Carnage and Glory, a computer Moderated game which allows the player to concentrate on the actions of their troops, not the rules system. It is a tactical system where unit formation is important.

The computer tracks fatigue and ammunition status, casualties and formations. The players issue orders by brigade. ADC’s are used to move orders and to get status reports on units.

Anyone who has played Empire or any other will be very comfortable.

Game starts at 11 AM or so…– A rule demo will be run at 10 AM.

Napoleon’s Battles in 15mm
Wagram (Light!)

In a desperate attempt to avenge his first defeat Napoleon has called up every military asset he could muster and is now ready to throw everything, including the KITCHEN SINK, a few BATHTUBS and if he had them a couple of Hot Water-Heaters at the defending dogs. Those mangy mutts won't know what hit them.

The Archduke Charles knowing that Napoleon and the entirety of the Military Might of France is crossing the river is counting on the Imperial Army, two dozen drunken collegee students on summer break from University of Vienna who think they are going to Key West, a couple of pickle farmers from down the street, and 12 boys from Siiberwald to hold them smelly froggies off. We'll see who lets the dogs out! Where oh Where has that little Archduke John gone?

I must be honest, it won't be completely Wagram, as we would need nearly 250 square feet of table space and we only have 100 square feet, but gosh darn it we will make do. Besides I have a freshily painted Bavarian Corp that needs to see the tabletop for the FIRST TIME, not to mention like 30 Regiments of Austrians that have never been on the tabletop.

Thanks for a Successful Event at the Levee Café

2009-11-23T16:01:00.001-06:00

Everyone I would like to thank everyone for another exciting and successful game that occurred last weekend at the Levee Café in Hastings. At the height of the game we had 20 players pushing more than 3200 figures on just over 150 square feet of table top. We are already planning our next big game.

I need to thank Brian Johnson and the Staff of the Levee Café; as always the food was excellent the staff helpful and the regulars curious about our games. What many people may not realize the Saturday morning breakfast was a "special" for us, as they don't normally serve Saturday morning breakfast.

Joel Gregory, who provided the lion share of the figures and many of the buildings on table, Jim Fitzgerald who provided the Russians and some French, and Keith Dalluhn, who provided his own troops, are just as responsible for making this game happen as I am.

I'm glad to say that from the positive comments we are looking forward to running additional games at the Levee Café and games of Horse Musket and Gun.

See you all next time.

Jeff Johnson.

Aug 1st Game Review

2009-08-04T14:00:00.002-05:00

Hey gang, you should've been there. Nine players showed up for the game of which seven brought their own figures. We picked up a new player, Doug, and look forward to seeing him again at the next game. Now if we can just get Jeff J. to finish up those pesky Bavarians for Noel...

The game was an Austrian v Prussian smash with each side having some allies. The Austrians had some infantry from northern Germany (read Hanoverians and Hessians,) while the Prussians had some help from the Neapolitans and, later on, Turks. Due to the enhanced qualities of Prussian infantry, the Prussians had the onus of attacking even though their army was slightly smaller.

Each player had two brigades under their command, either all infantry or all cavalry. At the start of the game there was one less Prussian player so I gave the Prussians one extra infantry brigade and the Neapolitans decided that they wanted a mixed command of one infantry and one cavalry brigade. When the Turks arrived they also got a mixed command. The Austrian side kept with the homogenous starting brigades (either all infantry or all cavalry.) Both sides were given two regiments of hussars and two battalions of light infantry.

The Prussians deployed all of their infantry on their right and all of their cavalry on the left, with the Neapolitans in the middle. The Prussians anchored their lines between two towns which would both protect their flanks and inhibit their mobility. The Prussians also decided early to use their hussars as a battlefield cavalry and not as a string. They also initially forgot that they had a couple of battalions of Freikorps which they eventually threw into the town on their right.

The Austrians deployed a little more traditionally with two brigades of cavalry on each wing and their infantry in the center. Both flanks were screened by hussars and the light infantry was posted in woods on either extreme end of their line.

The Prussian plan was simple, their victory condition was to clear a path through the Austrian army so that they could exit the board and they decided to weight their right with excellent infantry to punch through the Austrian center. The problem was that the Prussians had lined their infantry up facing the Austrian left flank cavalry which had been posted in front of a woods. Unfortunately, this is where the battle started to unravel for the Prussians.

The Prussian infantry and artillery on the right punished the covering hussar regiment in front of them and the Austrians took 60% casualties in the first turn of fire. The hussars made their morale and stood an extra turn. It took an extra round of fire the next turn to remove the hussars and, of course, this delayed the Prussian advance. The heavier Austrian cavalry behind the hussars got two turns without being fired on, which would prove critical a couple of turns later when they finally were unleashed on the Prussian infantry. The Prussians advanced two more turns at the cavalry before the Austrians turned on their tormentors and, in a haze of slashing swords and charging horses, got their two lead brigades cut to pieces, with four of the eight battalions destroyed and another routed at a cost of two and a half regiments of cavalry for the Austrians.

On the Prussian left terrain and deployment cooperated to deny the Prussian cavalry from deploying more than two cavalry regiments out in a line at a time. The same was not true of the Austrians, who managed to get their lead brigade of cavalry deployed in line with the hussars forming on the right of the brigade. The first Prussian line was made up of their hussars. The Prussian heavy cavalry brigades deployed side-by-side each other behind the hussars, each with one regiment behind the other. Both sides charged furiously forward, the Prussians to gain room to deploy out and the Austrians to keep them from doing so. The melees lined up so that the Austrians were able to focus two regiments (a dragoon and a hussar) on one of the hussars and one (cuirassiers) on the other. The first Prussian line (hussars) did not fair well against the Austrians, both regiments routed. The second line (a dragoon and a cuirassier regiment) didn't fair any better during the Austrian breakthrough. A charge by the third line saw a similar result to the first two, but the Austrians--due to exhaustion and a destructive fire from a paniced Neapolitan infantry brigade-- were finally brought to a halt. As the smoke cleared the badly mixed up Prussian cavalry discovered that there was one more brigade of Imperial cavalry which was fresh and champing at the bit to get at the Prussians waiting for them.

In the center the Neapolitans had been ordered to advance towards the hill that marked the center of the Austrian position. On top the hill was a brigade of Hanoverian brigade with a Hessian brigade to its left and two Austrian brigades to its right. The Neapolitans came forward with their infantry forward and their cavalry to the right rear (just in case...) Bravely they advanced up the hill though, with the momentary collapse of their left flank, the advance stopped well short of musket range and the Neapolitans with their four battalion guns got the worst of the Hanoverians and Hessian with their eight battalion guns and four 12 lbr.s.

At turn 5 we called the game. When we called it the Prussians had lost 1/3 of their infantry, 1/3 of their cavalry, and four guns. All of the Neapolitan infantry was in rout, though their cavalry was still fresh. On the Austrian side the losses were 60% of their cavalry and a battalion of Hanoverian infantry routed. It was hard to see how the Prussians were going to be able to push against all of that Imperial infantry and we called the game in favor of the Austrians.

And what of the Turks you ask... There were three roads that they could have come in on and we diced for their entry. They ended up coming in on the town that was covering the Prussian left flank and, though they had cavalry, they marched on with their infantry first for the town. By the end of the game the town was full of Sekhans who were watching the battle from the safety of the town and saying to themselves, "No way am I coming out for this one..." Why they turned right for the town rather than left for the open fields beyond and behind the Austrian right flank is anyone's guess, however, the redoubtable Pasha Bey-bey was overhead commenting, "Look, what a lovely church. Hehehehehe....."

Posted for Elliot

Some of you may know that I have been appointed as one of the gaming coordinator of MISFITs (the local SF club) - that means subversion of SF/Steampunk/Warhammer/RPG's to historical gaming or an extra date for the Centurions depending on how you look at things.

This will become a regular fixture on the gaming calendar.

My first meeting will be on Sunday August 9th at the Source. I will be there at 12 noon to set up with the game starting at 1pm.

Rules: Napoleonic Command
Scale 10mm
Scenario driven game - either 1809 or maybe 1813 if I can finish my Russians ('m 1 reg and 3 batteries short of a division).

If you can support it would be great

Let me know if you can make this one.

June 6th Follow-up

2009-06-07T12:35:00.002-05:00

I would like to thank everyone (Fitz, Bj, Joe, Joe, Jack, The Other Jeff, and Chris) who attended yesterday's Koenig Krieg game set during the "Seven Years War" yesterday at the Levee Cafe'. I left with a feeling that everyone who attended had a good time and is looking forward to next oversized game.

I would like to thank Elliot who allowed us to use his Figures even though he was unable to attend due to another commitment.

There were a number of ideas and possibilites presented through out the day about what we should do for our next game. I am interested in hearing in what everyone is interested in playing, what you can provide for the game you are intersted in, and what weekends in either September or October would work for you. I will be following up in the next few days.

PS For those in attendance King Charles XII of Sweden was killed by a projectile, either a musket ball or grapeshot, from a Norweigian postion during the Siege of Fredriksten, 11 December 1718.

Saturday - June 6th

2009-05-31T19:38:00.001-05:00

This upcoming Saturday the Centurions will be hosting a 15mm Seven Years War gaming using Koenig Krieg at the Levee Café in Hastings Minnesota. We will not be using the new edition of the rules as they aren't readily available yet.

We will be setting up Friday Evening and Saturday Morning, with the games to start at 11 AM Saturday Morning.

Our current intention is to have players command two infantry Brigades, one Cavalry Brigade and a two units of Light Troops. However we will be making some adjustments once the exact number of players is determined Saturday Morning.

The game will be divided into three (or more) table tops representing the left wing, center and right wing of a typical Seven Years War battle. Each table top will be a separate game interconnected by the use of reserves.

We will be making a couple of minor rules adjustments for our game. The most notable will be brigades in line (three units or more in a fairly straight line) will be considered in command even though the end unit(s) will be out of command range. This is being done to represent the multiple lines of battle used in the period of brigades rather than the stacking of units two or more deep (too Napoleonic).

As usual we are paying for the space be eating off the menu. We as a group have committed to $300, so if you can please stop down and have a meal and a few drinks during the day.

In addition to the game we will be discussing the upcoming Centurions Gaming Schedule for the summer and into the fall.

June 6th Game at the Levee Cafe

2009-05-31T07:47:00.002-05:00

Hey gang, come on down to the Levee Cafe in Hastings for our next outing. Jeff Johnson has cooked up a monster Koenig Krieg game that'll be fun for all.

The forces of the Sarcastic Alliance, supported by the troops of Freddie the Adequate, will be taking the field to defend the rights and dignities of the potentates of the Reich from the depredations of the Empire. The forces of the Self-Elector and von Knight will be taking the field against the dread Feldmarshal Erzherzog Johann and General Johnson of the Swedish Crown.

It is rumored that Don Giuseppe, il Duce di Vermiccelli, will be marching north from Neapolis and that the French forces are even now marshalling under the Marechal le Comte du Lac d'Ours Blanc. And of course all eyes turn south to see if the mighty Pasha Beybey will be on the march.

Come on by the Levee Cafe on Saturday and join us in the festivities. There will be plenty of commands for everyone who wants to play and you can always bring your own forces, we'll make them fit into the scenario. Setup will start at 10:00 and we will go until we drop.

See you there!

May 16th Follow Up

2009-05-31T07:36:00.003-05:00

I realize that this is a little late, but I have been suffering through computer issues and have not had a chance to post anything about the game on May 16th.

First, I would like to sincerely thank Elliott for taking the time and effort to set up such an interesting scenario. He put a lot of effort into the figures and terrain and, as a result, put on a beautiful scenario for which my pictures do no justice. To be sure it was a challenging scenario and I, for one, look forward to another replay so that I can try it from the Austrian side.

Second, I want to thank all of the players who attended. We had a good turnout of six players for the scenario and could have handled a couple more. I'd also like to mention that the Source employees were helpful and attentative to our needs.

Elliott has offered to run another scenario on June 20th. Stop by and play, it'll be a good time!

Saturday - July 18th

2009-05-27T11:18:00.003-05:00

Everyone,

Fitz has volunteered to run a 25mm English Civil War game using Forlorn Hope on Saturday July 18th.

Saturday - June 20th

2009-05-19T08:57:00.002-05:00

Hi gang,

I've volunteered to run the game on June 20th.

Rules - Napoleonic Command
Scale 10mm

I'm not sure if it will be 1809, or 1813. If I'm really evil, or there is demand for the option, it will be Austrians versus Neapolitans in 1815.

Posted on Behalf of Elliott.

An Introduction

2009-05-01T19:31:00.005-05:00

The Centurions are a loosely confederated group of miniature war gamers in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area who run a variety of miniature games throughout the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

While we are organization has no official organization we selected Jim Fitzgerald as Claudius for life or our dedicated point of contact for many of our events.

Members of the Centurions volunteer to put on and run miniature games. Typically the games put on by the Centurions are historical in nature occasionally a Sci Fi or Fantasy games also make the rotation. The only requirements to put on a game is to provide enough figures for six to ten players and for the you to know the rules fairly well. If you are interested in running a game please contact our Claudius, Jim Fitzgerald for more information.

On the First and Third Saturday of each month the Centurions generally run an open game at the Source Comics and Games in Falcon Heights. These games are open to all players and no experience or figures are required to play. Stop on by and see what we are up to.
Recently the Centurions have run a series of larger games at the Levee Café’ in Hastings, MN approximately two or three times a year. Those of us that make up the Centurions attempt to run a game or two at the MMGA ReCon which occurs about once a quarter in Coon Rapids, MN, and at Con of the North an annual Gaming Convention in St. Paul generally held in Late February or Early March.
