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.

Schedule Changes
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.

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.
Just want to touch on a couple of quick subjects.
