Souldier3 Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 I'd love to partake in a spring event. I think any of the format options would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phyfor88 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I like the idea of a FOW mid war desert mega battle. I propose we play on a long board with each zone controlled by different players. I have done this before and is very fun. Player can start leave when they need to while the battle rages.

If someone wants to organize and run this proposed event - FOW mid war desert mega battle - or one of the others I laid out, then we can add this one, or swap out with one of the large events. As it is...I will be maxed out thru end-of-May: running one major event per month plus one mini-campaign per month plus getting 2 armies ready for ENFILADE Please speak up soon, as I am making reservations for tables in FEB and MAR, and setting expectations for FEB thru MAY.

Souldier3 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I will run a mega battle scenario in june since months are already booked up with events. I would appreciate if one one of the weekly game nights beforehand, 3 or 4 people would be willing to show up and help playest a set of game mechanics for it however. End of this month I should have some desert terrain done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great idea. Maybe April would be a good month for this. One of the Saturdays in April at GG or OCGG (2-3 tables joined). On SAT, games stores are open 10AM-11PM. Sundays not as good, since game stores have shorter hours than SAT (GG=12-8, OCGG=12-8). GG gets more foot traffic than OCGG, and has more space. We could do the mega battle instead of this demo event, since I have not made reservations yet: SAT, APR 14* | Demo-Day: "World Wars Battle Mash-up" (FoW, WoG, TY and TANKS!), @ GG (4 tables, 1 per rules system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
