1.
GAME: India/Pakistan '65 War Air Battle GENRE: Jet Age Air Combat HOST: Gord Colter SCALE: 1/285th RULES: Check Your 6! Jet Age PLAYER SLOTS: 1- 6 SCENARIO: French, British and American aircraft types do not play well together in the unfriendly skies over India/Pakistan. 2. GAME: American Civil War GENRE: Black Powder HOST: Dennis Chin SCALE: 20mm RULES: Brigade Fire and Fury PLAYER SLOTS: 5 - 6 SCENARIO: The Battle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1864. When General Grant took command of all Union armies, he was convinced that he could defeat the Confederates by a fighting a war of attrition. To that end, he moved his Army of the Potomac across the Rapidan River on May 4, 1864. Lee countered by moving Ewell and Hill to meet the Union advance. They met in the deep woods of the Wilderness around 1330 h. on May 5, 1864. In this battle, the Confederates must control the cross-roads to prevent Sedgewick’s 6th Corps. and Hancock’s 2nd Corps. from entering the battlefield. To simulate Fog-of-War, we will be using Blue wooden blocks to represent the Union brigades hidden in the woods, and Greywooden blocks to represent the Confederate brigades. During the battle, the dry woods caught on fire and immobilized wounded soldiers were burnt alive, crying and screaming throughout the two days of battle. This aspect of the battle will NOT be simulated in this table-top war-game. 3. GAME: D&D: Black Fist, Bright Claw GENRE: RPG HOST: Peter Haldenby SCALE: N/A RULES: Dungeons and Dragons, 5th Edition PLAYER SLOTS: 2 - 6 SCENARIO: The Cult of the Dragon have left Castle Vathar after their night attack. What was their aim? Was this group connected with the theft from Mantor's Library or the recent attacks on travellers? Where did the fugitive scribe that the party was following go to? Players are welcome to either bring along a level 3 character or pick a pre-generated one. Please bring a miniature for your character if you have one. This game is picking up on a story we started a few months ago, so if we run low on places priority will be given to existing players. 4. GAME: Dungeons & Dragons - Dark Sun GENRE: RPG HOST: Burgess Dillon SCALE: 28mm RULES: Dungeons & Dragons - 4th Edition PLAYER SLOTS: Up to 6 SCENARIO: ...now that the party has made it to the grand city of Tyr... are the adventurers truly safe... all eyes are watching their next move! 5. GAME: Runewars Miniatures GENRE: Fantasy rank & flank HOST: Luke Fraser & Thomas Paterson SCALE: 28mm RULES: Runewars Miniatures PLAYER SLOTS: Up to 4 (a demo will last between 40-60 minutes). SCENARIO: Mass fantasy battles in the realm of Terrinoth. The game uses a dial-based initiative system (an evolution of x-wing, for those familiar with it) to resolve activations, with each unit locking in its action at the beginning of the round. Play proceeds in initiative order, with different actions taking place early and late. Not only does this create a tense fog of war effect, but it gives concrete mechanics to each unit, bringing their theme to life with gameplay. Can you guess your opponent's plan and stay one step ahead? 6. GAME: 18xx Rail Game GENRE: Board Game HOST: Bill Dixon or Mike Campbell SCALE: N/A RULES: 18xx PLAYER SLOTS: 1 - 5 SCENARIO: 1846 or 18?? Depending on work, Bill may be a bit late. 7.
