Flames of War at Boldo's

[boldo]

A small group of us have started playing occasional games at Boldo's on one Sunday a month. I was wondering if anyone might be interested in joining us so week?

In May we can play on the 11th and were wondering if anyone is interested. In June we are looking at the 1st and the 15th.

I think Orville and I are interested in showing up to the June one. Let us know a date so we can make plans. I have germans he has russians and we do not know the new rules set.

Okay Tim is available both days. So is there time to get a game in this Sunday? Also what armies do people have. Tim has Brits and Germans and I have Italians. I think Ron has Germans and Orville Russians and perhaps Cory Brits. So lets firm up attendance and armies so we can work out a scenario for both the 1st and the 15th.

Okay so we are going to play on the 15th but I need to know who is coming so we can set up a scenario. So If will be there on the 15th please respond so we can set up details for the game.

Okay the game will be 10am on Sunday June 15. The sides will be Orville and Tim against me and Ron. If other people want in they must contact me. The idea is that the Russians used a lot of British lend lease items which went from Africa to Russia. Thus the Russians will have British lend lease items. The Germans will be handicapped by having the Italians on their side who will historic equipment which was the obsolete stuff which was not useful in Africa. We will be playing in Russia winter 1942/1943 and for the Germans and Russians use Eastern Front lists 1942. In general use no units from 1943 and if there are questions use the following rules. For the Germans that means no tiger, panthers, Brumbars, radio-controlled tanks, Ferdinands, Homisse, or 88 cm Pak 43/41. For the Russians no KV 85, T-34 obr1942 must outnumber T34/57, and no 152mm obr 1943. There are good army builder files and several other army building tools and if you need there we have this at the store. Hope to see you at the store.

The scenario for this weekend will put Tim and Orville on the Russian side while Ron and I will play Axis. We will be playing a Cauldron Scenario. So half the Russian troops will start on the board at random locations with the rest in reserve. Half of ours start on the board clustered in the center, one of our units will start in immediate ambush and the rest in delayed reserved. We will play 1500pts per player. Is this fine for everyone.
