This year with the tournament coinciding with D-Day rememberances we decided to try something different. Rather than the usual selection of scenarios, we focused on Normandy landings and the push inland and break out. Because the Hit the Beach and Para scenarios are so different for the attacker and defender, we decided that there would [...]

Ken is leaving the state next week and wanted to get one last big game in, so he organized and ran a Spanish Civil War game. He has joined the Army Reserve and is going off to boot camp followed by specialist training. If I got all this correct, he will return as a civil [...]

From Scott McK:
We had the Glory! Napoleonics mini-tournament on Sunday and it was a

chance to face off with all the players [...]
