Let us know how the city fighting goes! The rules don't seem that difficult as it is mainly about not having to measure and not having to figure out line of sight for shooting.

Thankfully the mini rulebooks that are being included in the box sets like hit the beach are the updated latest versions. This made me happy as I was not keen to buy another hardback rulebook that was 95% the same.

I have read a lot about this type of mission selection, much of it is positive. I would love to try it as I think it can add a layer of strategy that goes with list building.

Love that this is official. I think this makes for decisive games. There is no point in dragging out a game by feeding one team in to keep the objective contested and having the game end in a draw.

Great. Bring some terrain and mark it so we know it's yours we may need to intermingle with store terrain. I think bringing both sides will allow us some flexibility in case one side is more heavily attended. I am hoping to get a sense of who will be playing on each side so please let me know which side is your first choice and I'll add you to th he roster on that side for now.

I am going to try and make this.

I am working up a list of German infantry for a city fight but I don't have flame thrower teams to field the assault pioneers. I would be running Grenadier's with a respectable +3 for assaults (im used to +5 for my mid war Americans). Lets try and coordinate a time to test the city fighting rules. I will bring 6-7 ruined buildings for terrain.

Awesome thanks for the help James and Ben!

For fighting on the 3x4 tables we will be using the city fighting rules out of the mid war east front books, iron cross, and enemy at the gates. There is only about two pages of rules and most of it is pictures. For the standard 6x4 tables we will just use standard rules.

I am working up terrain for one of the 3x4 city fight tables. What kind of east front terrain can anyone help us out with? I dont think we would have trouble filling out the tables but it would be nice to have east front terrain.

Thanks!

I would attend whatever we end up doing. My main collections are US and Germans so I can bring whichever side or both. Last year I bought someone's American collection that had an airborne company in it and I'm eager to try them. I've never played a 101st or 82nd list. In terms of beach mats I can probably come up with some very simple add ons that can overlay a typical mat and turn it into a beach mat.

More updates

I will be there sat then at GG!

James I will not be able to go this Thurs. Are you available Friday or sat?

Updated information on points levels.

Barca coming from Salem my arrival time would be about the same. I would prefer to see how our enfilade lists would match up so lets plan for that!

Who will be planning on going to GG on the 30th? I would like to try my enfilade list with opponents that I did not get to play at the tourney.

I'm working on expanding my Americans already! Thanks James for stepping up to run the event.

I have limited experience with Russian infantry so cant contribute much but I'm hoping to get some experience soon.

Being an infantry company player myself I would agree with you however... These starter sets are meant to bring people into the hobby and I completely understand not starting with an infantry and gun team centric force. Its much easier to start with some tanks get them painted and onto the table. Get those newbies hooked!

I have 3 BA-10s that you can use. I'll bring them to the tourney.

If we end up doing it as a fire storm event we will use smaller points level for the small city fight tables. The battles outside of Stalingrad will be at higher points and will be on 4x6 tables like a typical FoW game. Check back once we iron out more details. I am currently looking for a copy of Firestorm Stalingrad so if anyone has one or knows of a store that has it let me know.

Phyfor88 and I will be playing in the event as well as running it. As such I will be bringing Russian tanks.

Phyfor88 and I will be running a Stalingrad themed event at Geeks and Games in Oregon City. The details are as follows: Event: Stalingrad firestorm event - Mid War Date: Sat. June 29th Location: Geeks and Games, 1656 C Beavercreek Rd, Oregon City, OR 97045 Time: Setup - 10:00am (help is always welcome) Round 1 - 10:30am. 2.5 hour game lunch break - 1:00pm. 1 hour Round 2 - 2:00pm. 2.5 hour game Round 3 - 5:00pm. 2.5 hour game Wrap up / prizes 7:30pm - 8:30pm Allowed Forces / Books: Mid War German and Russian books, Iron Cross, Ghost Panzers, Afrika Corps, Enemy at the Gates, Red Banner, and Avanti (Italians were participating outside Stalingrad). Points: There will be two table sizes, 6x4 tables will be used for the areas outside the city. For fighting in Stalingrad the tables will be 3x4 and will use a reduced force size. 6x4 table : 100 pts 3x4 table : 50 pts Players can bring two lists, 1 of each points level but must be from the same nation. Entry fee: $20 per person (entry fees will go directly to prize support and all participants will receive prize support or gift certificate at the end of the event). Geeks and Games are wrapping up the expansion of their store and hopefully we will be able to play in the new gaming area. We will most likely have 6 6x4 tables but two of those tables will be divided into 4 3x4 tables for city fights. This allows for for a total of 8 tables and 16 players maximum. Russian: 1. James B. 2. Ben (Bpoli7) 3. Ryan (lazarus) 4. Christian B. 5. 6. 7. 8. Germans: 1. Steve Z. 2. Nelson (Phyfor88) 3. George B. (Italians) 4. Dan L. (Danimal) 5. 6. 7. 8. Please post if you are interested in attending this event, what force you could bring and potentially a force you could supply to a fellow player if you are comfortable with that. Cheers!
