Reminder that Friday, June 6th is the monthly gaming night. Heres the activities registered so far: 1) GAME : Warhammer 40K HOST : Linton Harrison SCALE : 28mm RULES : 6th Edition PLAYERS : : unlimited, 1 vs. 1 SCENARIO : 1500 pt games may be played for practice. But several people have expressed a desire for 1750 pt and 2000 pt games as well, for a change, so bring multiple lists if you are interested in changing things up a bit. 2) GAME: World War II Land HOST: David O’Meara, Terry Sawchenko SCALE: 15mm RULES: Easy 8 PLAYERS: 2-3 SCENARIO: D Day, the opening moves Before dawn on June 6th British paratroopers were dropped inland from the beaches. Their mission: to prevent bridges from being blown before the allies could reach them and to disrupt German movements towards the landings. The first of these were directed towards Benouville and the bridge over the Orne river. A second landing was directed around a smaller bridge leading to Benouville, almost as important in that although smaller the river was too deep for vehicles to ford. Players will control the paratroopers and the host the Germans. This way total surprise may be played out in the battlefield. Seize and hold is the name of the game. 3) GAME: D-Day Special: 82nd Airborne at Ste.-Mere-Eglise HOST: Kevin Aldridge SCALE: glorious 6mm (plays like 15mm; 1” = 50yds) RULES: Command Decision (GDW), modified for fast play PLAYERS: 2-5 SCENARIO: JUNE 5th 1944, SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND: [CLICK-CLICK; CLICK-CLICK; CLICK-CLICK; etc., etc.] ADJUTANT: “Ten-hut!” [silence] DUKE WAYNE: “At ease. Well, you’re as ready as we can make you. This five-cent toy? It wasnt issued to you for laughs. It might save your life! You’re going to be landing in the dark. And on the other side of that hedgerow a fellow might not be wearing the same uniform as you are. So, one click [CLICK], is to be answered by two clicks [CLICK-CLICK]. And if you don’t get that answering ‘click’, hit the dirt, and open fire! I repeat: one click [CLICK], is to be answered by two clicks [CLICK-CLICK]. Now, hang on to this gimmick. It’s as important as your weapon. Do you read me?” RED BUTTONS: [presuming to speak for the entire battalion] “Loud and clear, sir! ”DUKE WAYNE: “Alright. One more thing. Your assignment tonight is strategic. You can’t give the enemy a break. Send him to Hell. That is all.”~~~ If youve never gamed the role of a Jumpmaster, here’s your chance. The 505th Regiment, 82nd Airborne is about to airdrop into Normandy. The objective? To seize the vital bridges over the Merderet River, securing Utah Beach for the landings. The first part of this scenario involves planning the drops -- into the pitch black -- with terrain features only becoming visible when encountered. Then it’s a matter of assembling your scattered forces to find and take the objectives. Oh, and don’t worry about panzers: “Ike would never drop us on top a one a doze ‘tings. Nah!” 4) GAME: WW2 Naval HOST Ian McCandlish SCALE 1/2400 RULES Supremacy at Sea PLAYERS up to 9 SCENARIO Battle of the River Plate X 3.........can one or more of the multiple Graf Spees escape ? 5) GAME : Student Board Game (original game prototype) HOST : Lisa Smedman SCALE : n/a RULES : homebrew for Stonehenge board game PLAYERS : 3-5 SCENARIO : Once again, Lisas students will be playtesting an original rules set, using the Stonehenge board game components.
