1
GAME:  Russo-Japanese War 1904-1905
GENERA:  Pre-Dreadnought Naval Warfare
HOST:   Dennis Chin
SCALE:  1:1200th
PLAYERS:  Up to 8
RULES:  Age of the Dreadnought: Armored Ships Come of Age
SCENARIO:  The Battle of Tsushima Straits - May 27, 1905. In Russia's determination to gain a warm water port on her eastern coast  (Vladivostok is not a warm water port), she goes to war with Japan, beginning with her occupation of Port Arthur in Manchuria. After the first defeat of the Russian Pacific fleet by the Japanese in the water outside Port Arthur, Tsar Nicholas II foolishly orders the entire Russian Baltic fleet to sail 18,000 miles from St. Petersburg to engage the Japanese navy. But the exhausted and poorly trained Russians were caught in the fog in the Tsushima Straits in Japan waters. In the battle, the Russia lost 90% of their capital ships with eight battleships (six sunk and two captured) and three armored cruisers sunk. Of the five protected cruisers, two  were sunk and three interned. The Japanese only lost 3 torpedo boats. None of their capital ships were sunk. The Russian had 4,830 dead and 5,917 captured. The Japanese only had a mere 117 dead. 
NOTES:  In my presentation of this battle, as described above, there will be changes made (Variant 4) to make the battle more even.
​
1. Perhaps, Britain has not formed a naval pact with Japan before 1905, thereby the Russian Baltic navy will be allowed to sail thru the Suez Canal, giving the Russian crews more time to engage in ARTILLERY PRACTICE.
2. Perhaps, the neutral countries in South Africa would allow the fleet to dock and receive coal and supplies for the ships.  The crew would not be so fatigue and poorly fed. 
3. Perhaps, two days before battle, there was a hidden cache discovered in the Flag-ship lockers. The Admiral allows the crew to have supple amounts of vodka, champagne and Russian Caviar.  Russian morale is now increased.
Let's now see if the Russians can engage the Japanese Imperial Fleet and give them a surprise.

GAME:  Evolution: Climate
HOST:  Lisa Smedman
SCALE: Board Game
PLAYERS: 2 - 6
RULES: Evolution: Climate by NorthStar Games
SCENARIO: In this strategy card game, you create species and assign up to four characteristics to each species. As the climate shifts (getting either hotter or colder) you see which of your species can survive. Will your species be herbivores, competing for forage at the communal watering hole -- or will they be predators that consume other players' species? This is a surprisingly deep (yet simple) game with lots to consider and the occasional sudden reversal, should a catastrophic event card come up. Fear the meteorite!!!

GAME:  Xenos Rampant
GENERA:  Sci-Fi Skirmish Combat
HOST:  Ryan Fryr
SCALE: 28mm
PLAYERS: 4 - 6
RULES: Xenos Rampant
SCENARIO:  TBA
NOTES:  Xenos Rampant is a setting agnostic, large skirmish, miniature wargame for fighting science fiction battles using 28mm / 15mm figures. Developed from the popular Lion Rampant ruleset, the core mechanics featured within will be instantly recognisable to those familiar with the other Rampant systems, while still being accessible to new players. Xenos Rampant contains all the rules, army lists, and scenarios required to fight science fiction battles as well as a whole host of sub-genres including: post-apocalyptic, weird war, near future. So, whatever your science fiction preference, the rules can cover it – just let your imagination run rampant. 
The factions I have are:
GZG Outrim Coalition, Alternative Armies Ikwan Uprising, Khurasan miniatures, UFO landing fleet, Alternative Armies Cold Climes, and Mission
