I have not put up a schedule of games for Con of the North yet as I am still trying to determine what we will be doing at this time.  I've got a commitment for Falkirk '46, a further Koenig Kreig game later in the weekend, a Samurai game, and probably a TYW game.  I am waiting for the Monday Nighters to determine what they will be running at the con.  Also, at this time I expect there to be 2 games on Friday, three on Saturday, and we'll see what the interest is in a game on Sunday.  I'll keep you informed.

Last games of the year

Hey gang,

It's been a heck of a year.  A lot of great games have been played a hot new period has started.  We've determined the last two games of the year for our calendar:

Saturday - Dec 7th

Spaceship Combat - X-wing Miniatures Game

Joe Knight wants to take us on a spin thru the Star Wars universe.

11am Source Comics and Games

Saturday - Dec 21st

10mm TYW - Field of Glory Renaissance

What could be more Christmassy than a romp thru Germany in the 17th Century.

11am Source Comics and Games

We have a spaceship game for the first time.  Joe has been asking for some time to show us his new obsession and it sounds like a lot of fun.  And, really, who doesn't like Star Wars anyways....

Our last game will involve a lot of spikey bits.  It'll be TYW again.  Bring your troops for a glorious time.  Hope to see you there!

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.

September Schedule

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.
