Fall Fow Tournament - is it time to start a discussion?


barca

Recommended Posts

Hey guys!  I'd love to attend.  I'll see about penciling in Nov 14th.  Question, though.  What books does this actually cover?  I have obviously been a bit out of the scene, so I don't know what I've missed.

 

I've got Red Bear for soviets, which I think spans into 1945.

 

For US, I believe the last book I have is Nuts!  I don't recall exactly.  I know that I don't have models for most newer US tanks, so I'd be using paras.  Do the US paratroopers have a list in a later book, or will Nuts! be ok?

Checking on available space for 14 NOV.

Once I am assured that a Release/pre-Release event does not squeeze us out, I will start a new thread with all the particulars.

 

In the meantime

-- draft your list

-- paint like crazy

-- brush up on the rules

-- update your playbook to crush your nemesis ("Glory to the Red Army" 'Слава Красной Армии')

 

I will also make some reservations for one or two tables for some warm-up games on 7 and 8 NOV (SAT & SUN).

In case anyone wants to test-drive their list, or shake out the cobwebs from the rules compartment of their brain.

MODERN: Woo-Hoo!

CLASSICAL: "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war".

                     - - William Shakespeare 'Julius Caesar', Act 3, Scene 1, line 273 (1)

 

We have a confirmed reservation for tournament table space at GG on Saturday, NOV 14.

Shortly, we will have the complete Tournament announcement in a new thread.

 

(1) wiki ref https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_dogs_of_war_(phrase)
In Context:
"And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial."
