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
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, w
here 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
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
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.
