If the any of the Rose City Dukes and Duchesses crew ("Flame-of-War regulars") email me before each event, I will sign them up and they will have priority for a slot to play.

Open to casual players,as well.

We have time for 2-3 missions.

If you have your own stuff assembled (in whatever state of painting), then bring it and try it out.

I can probably match with an opposing force:

• I have Soviet Armor with helos and air defense.
• Also have US Armor with helos and air defense.

Hey Barca, thanks for putting these on!  I plan on bringing my son down and checking it out on the 21st.  I'm not certain if we will have time to play, but I'm excited to get to watch and learn.
