I am also intending to play on Saturday. I will send you my list promptly. US Rifles Ben Polikoff

90 points sounds great. Bill Noland and I will figure out our plans for NW Invasion. What ever happened to the trophy?

Bolo, where are you located? If you need a couple shake down games to knock the rust off I'd be happy to play.

Thanks again to Barca for hosting such a fun event. My rookie Americans survived, but were badly bloodied. They'd better learn the ways of this new war quickly!

That is what I needed to know.

Do planes count as infantry or tanks when tallying for Tank, Mech or Infantry? Silly question, I know, but it matters for my battle plans.

I'll be there. Bringing one table of North Africa. American Rifle Company.

Interested in coming down... I might bring a second player as well. Both would be US.

I’d like a Flames of War Mega battle. Maybe North Africa Themed?

Ben here, gotta defend my title. WA, Americans. Are we playing with command cards?

Joseph, I have a snow mat which would work well with your snow terrain...

I'm Ben P. Add me to the list.

Registered. Will be playing Americans. I have a terrain mat (snow), wheat fields and trees. I need buildings, hills and rivers. I also have trees for a desert board.

I vote bring our own lunch.

I have assurances from my crew down in California who have playtested v4 that it is a lot of fun and people will like it. They tend to be on the doom and gloom side of the spectrum, so I feel very reassured.

I have Ardennes on Forces of War. Hit me up and I'll send you the password sometime tomorrow, Josef. That way you can print it out. Still polishing a list out.

I'm thinking mech is what I'll play, in this big game. It'll mesh well with Noland and I can play something a little different.

Noland, Ed and I (and maybe, hopefully Josef) will play Arrows 2 and 6. I'm working out a mega battle that we will play on Jan 2nd. The more the merrier if you Portland guys would like to join. Let me know ahead of time so I can accommodate you!

Also, is it important for the Generals to know which Firestorm units were killed vs. routed? 99th was routed but the Volksgrenadiers in our game were all killed.

Jessop was on the line again. "...We smoked those AT guns, but lost a tank doing it. We're back on track to flank those Stugs!..." "...We're almost in position to support you, I can't see them in this brush! See if you..." The CO's message was abruptly cut off. "Company, this is London, the commander is hit, his tank is brewing up. No survivors..." "...God, dammit!..." That was the 2nd Platoon commander. All tanks rendezvous at 229 to flank those Stugs. The command post is just on the other side of those trees. I'm leaving the infantry to cover the copse...." "...Michaelson, Adams. See if you can get that track back on. We need to get this tank moving again. Richard, stay on the gun and watch for that enemy infantry..." His tank commander was overly optimistic, Richard thought, feeling the cold blast of air as the radioman and loader opened their hatches and went to repair the tank. Richard saw the American doughs looking across the small meadow from the copse to the edge of the far forest to where the Germans had retreated. The hatch opened again. "...We're not moving for a while. We lost a road wheel and a return roller from that arty. We'll need a TRV just to get the track back on...." "....Alright, grab your stuff. Let's get back to 229 and see if we can catch a ride...." Jessop was on the radio, again. "...We put about 7 rounds into each one of those Stugs, but it took London coming up to finish 'em off. They sure are tough sonsofbitches. Recon's out, the Assault guns pulled out with them. Command post is taking there sweet time getting packed up..." Just then, automatic fire erupted across the meadow from the far tree line, tearing through the lines of friendly troops. He saw dozens of casualties fall to the snow. The rest of the troops hit the ground, returning fire as best they could. Several squads of German troops emerged from the trees, firing in precise bursts from the hip. More and more enemy infantry filled the meadow, advancing on the copse. Richard poured fire from his .30 into the nearest group, but there was too many. The doughs were getting cut to pieces. They wouldn't last long under that kind of firepower. London pulled up beside their tank.
