Call for February 27th Game Day GMs! Looking for game descriptions now...
Interested in being a Game Master at the February 27th Game Day? Great! Please email your game description to Dave Shuster ( shooey_d@hotmail.com ) or post it here on the forum. We are looking for approximately twelve games in all, six in the morning session and six in the afternoon session. The theme for the event can be found below. Your game does not have to reflect the theme but if you have a scenario that takes place in the snow and ice, so much the better! Games should accommodate six players or more, and table sizes are generally 5x6 or 5x8.
Here is the information we need from you.

Other: Anything more we should know about your game? Do you need electricity? A bigger table?
--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."
We'll be taking submissions between now and December 13th. Thanks for the help!

FEB 27 2010 GAME DAY NEED 6X10 TABLE
MORNING:
GAME MASTER: ANDY NIVEN andrewc_niven@yahoo.com
PERIOD: AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
SCALE: 25MM
RULES SYSTEM: HOUSE FOR 12 PLAYERS
THE WHEATFIELD, GETTYSBURG PA. JULY 2, 1863
The Wheatfield changed hands a few times that fateful afternoon. Caldwell’s Division (Cross, Zook, and Kelly’s Irish Brigade) assaults through the routing Third and Fifth Corps. Will Robertson and Benning have time to reorganize? Will Anderson and Kershaw be able to repel Second Corps? Will the Irish Brigade carry the field? You decide the fate of the Union left flank in this fast- paced easy to learn game.
AFTERNOON:
GAME MASTER: ANDY NIVEN andrewc_niven@yahoo.com
PERIOD: AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
SCALE: 25MM
RULES SYSTEM: HOUSE FOR 6 PLAYERS
LITTLE ROUND TOP, GETTYSBURG PA. JULY 2, 1863
All Mainers know who the hero of the second day was; Joshua Chamberlain. The Union left flank would have collapsed far sooner without Chamberlain’s stout defense on that hot afternoon. Will Robertson and Law carry the heights? Will Chamberlain stand against all odds? Will Weed save the party? You decide.
