SquadronROE Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Whenever I go to Guardian Games I see the massive amounts of FoW stuff they have, and I've been slowly collecting rulebooks for the game. It seems like a pretty interesting system, is there a good group in Portland that plays it? I'd love to get in a demo game at some point to just see how it plays (I've played other historical mini's games in the past and they can be hit or miss), and just figure out what has a bunch of players and what doesn't.

Brother Glacius Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 There are guys that play at GG on Thursdays typically. Other than that, I don't think there is a regular meetup or time. FoW has been around for a while, and there are a good many of us who own it...but sadly just a few that seem to play it regularly. p.s. you might want to change your avatar, that ice cream cone looks a little too flesh colored ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 For FoW in the Portland/Vancouver area, there are public and advertised players (e.g., at GG - Guardian Games), public Un-advertised players (get together at a game store, but how they coordinate their activities is unknown to me) and private players (somebody's house or garage). For these, I have no visibility, so far. For Weekly public and advertised events, go to http://www.ggportland.com/calendar/go to Thursdays, and scroll done for this event: "Flames of War Minis League at GG"Our informal group goes by the name "Rose City Dukes and Duchesses (Ranger Group)"http://www.ordofanaticus.com/index.php?/gallery/album/72-rose-city-dukes-and-duchesses/If there are special events at GG, they will appear on that calendar and in this section of the forum.For upcoming tournaments/game days, look here: http://www.ordofanaticus.com/index.php?/topic/27114-fow-upcoming-events-map/For the next big Tournament event, see: http://www.ordofanaticus.com/index.php?/topic/26364-ofcc-2016-fow-team-event-official-thread/ More question?

ZeroMoon17 Posted June 9, 2016 Report Share Posted June 9, 2016 Squadron, I'm usually at GG on Thursdays (I'm out of town this week) but if you show up on a Thursday night around 6pm I'd be more than happy to lend you an army and play a demo game or two with you. Is there an army in particular you are interested in collecting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquadronROE Posted June 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Squadron, I'm usually at GG on Thursdays (I'm out of town this week) but if you show up on a Thursday night around 6pm I'd be more than happy to lend you an army and play a demo game or two with you. Is there an army in particular you are interested in collecting? Honestly I'd love to do some sort of interesting army, like French. French military (historically) was fairly decent tactically, just their logistics and strategy was utter balls. So it'd be neat to see a large number of Char's or whatever, see how they could do against other early-war stuff. If that's seriously awful and I would hate myself for playing it, the secondary choice would be Russian. I'll stop by some Thursday night in the near future and take you up on that offer. Sounds fun.
