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.

August Schedule is confirmed

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.

Game on Saturday, July 30th

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.

Tentative August Schedule

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.

June and July 2011 Schedule

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

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.

Apr. 16th Game

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.
