PROGRAM EVENTS LIST (more to come)
Saturday 9:00 am "Skirmish Fire" The Crimea 1854/GM Skip Peterson
Russian units have been sent to scout and engage the forward positions the British & French battle lines. Players will command Light Inf. Companies, Cavalry & sections of Artillery. This is a rule set that blends the best features of a Miniature & Board War-game. A detailed level of complexity yet easy to understand set of rules. 28mm Scale.
Saturday 9:00 am Charlie Company/GM Alexander Sewielski
Charlie Company is a infantry skirmish game set during the Vietnam War. Players take command of MACV/ARVN Force and fight the opposition of PAVN/NLF forces controlled by the GM. This is a game that requires teamwork, communication, and tactical prowess, and has strong "role-playing" elements. Communication is Real-Time, and Meta-gaming is discouraged. If you like a balance of roleplay and tactics this game is for you!
Saturday 10:00 am and 4:00 pm March to Moscow/GM John Bobek
6mm Napoleonic game with French pushing on to Moscow in 1812. Rules are La Gloire de Guerre, pages 78-80 in The Games of War. Figures are Grand Manoeuvre's cardstock Napoleonics.

April 1917 sees the "flieger staffeln" achieve their greatest kill to loss ratio of the war, leading the charge, Jastas 11, 5, 2! The Allies, desperate for reconnaissance, choose pushing their inferior BE 2s and FEs into the action in ever greater numbers. Of course this resulted in ever greater losses except when weather intervened. Mission has been ordered..session 1:Coop squadron against 4-5 Albatros DIIIs. Session 2:Top pilots from session 1 advance to fly the German patrol. Prizes awarded.

Saturday 6:00 pm Operation Muharram al-Haram/GM Brendgol Majewski
The third—and arguably the most successful—of the Iranian offensives in 1982 was Operation Muharram al-Haram. Launched on the night of October 31, the objectives of Operation Muharram were limited in scope and had a more economic nature than the previous operations. In addition to removing existing Iraqi salients within Iranian territory, Iranian troops were to seize several Iraqi oil fields,including the large Bayat field and industrial towns in both sectors, including Tib, Zobeidat, and Abu Q
Not all games will be repeated in the evening so there will be some available space for impromptu open gaming – including board games so bring some troops and/or a board game if you desire.
