February 27th Game Day theme: Winter Wars

Its time to begin planning for our next Game Day, which will be Saturday, February 27th.  Our last Game Day was great, with approximately 10 new attendees, and several young gamers.  We'd like to continue that effort to bring in new people, new wargamers, and new enthusiasm to the group.  What better way to spend a day in February than with friends pushing armies, rolling dice, and talking history?

Our February Game Day theme is brought to us by Jim Hatch this time around, and it offers all sorts of possibiltiies.  As you consider a game to run for the Game Day, please give some thought to the theme.  We'd like to have half the games on theme if we can!

--from Jim Hatch, "Winter Wars: the title brings to mind, Finns fighting Russians or Ney charging into a blizzard. A little more thought might bring up the Russian general winter (Stalingrad,the battle for Moscow) or Valley Forge, the Battle of Trenton... A stretch of the imagination might wonder if it isn't always winter at 30,000 feet over the Reich. If you have Cabin Fever or have gone Shack Happy we might have the cure. So stick out your tongue and give this Maine winter a Bronx cheer, strap on you snowshoes or tire chains and join the Maine Historical Wargamers as we present Our Winter Wars."

Date: Saturday, February 27th
Time: Two sessions, 9-1 and 2-6
Location: Winter Street Center, Bath
