November Club Game Night

  Another club game night has arrived.  There were three games available;  two WW2 and a Pre-dreadnought game.  Each game looked fun and the tables were excellent with magnificent figures and terrain.   I played in the naval game so cannot comment too much about the WW2 games as they were still going on about the time I left.  

What games are a valuable for those interested?  Here is our line up.

Charlie Galemmo - Somewhere in Alsace, September 1944

Rules: Modified Blitzkrieg Commander III  in 15mm.

  "Elements of an American Infantry Regiment has liberated the French town of Hertoule. This town sits at an important junction needed for the further rapid advance of armored divisions. Two American Task Forces are headed to push beyond the crossroads and continue the rapid advance. The significance of this town is not lost on the Germans. Looking to blunt the spearhead, the Germans muster three kampfgruppe to retake the town and serve up a bloody nose to the American advance."

Rob Zwiercan – July 1944, Pas De Calais - Assault on a V1 Launch Site 

Rules: Iron Cross 28mm Skirmish.

  "June 13, 1944 - Germany begins its V-Weapon campaign against England with the first V1 being launched into London. Over the course of the campaign, as many as 200 buzz bombs are launched towards England in a single day. Nearly 10,000 V1 rockets total are launched by the end of the campaign five months later. While only about one third of V1 rockets reach their target, the damage is significant and General Eisenhower orders priority attacks on the launch sites. Allied forces clear out the final French based V1 launch sites by the end of August 1944. In this scenario American armor and infantry will assault a V1 launch site."

Rob's game looked excellent, especially the terrain which he made.  I was very impressed with the roads which looked very realistic.  The factory was outstanding with the V1 rocket hidden inside.  Really very well done Rob!

George Zanni - Big Guns and Fat Bottom Ships

Rules: Gridded Naval Wargames by Bob Cordery, 1:600 Pre-dreadnoughts.

  "The Spanish Navy has decided to slip back to Spain from Cuba. Can they get through the American blockade? This game should play out fast. We may be able to switch sides and try it a second time if we have enough time."

  I will have addition pictures and a write up as this was the game I played in.  George did an outstanding job.  These are very fast play simple rules.  perfect t for a club game night!  We played the action out twice before it was time to go home for the night.

  Lastly Aviv thank you to our friend Warren Smith.  He picked both Dave and myself up and drive to game night and back home.  Neither Dave or myself are able to drive at thus time so its a wonderful thing Warren does.  Thank you very much!
