1813 - The Armistice Ends

Saturday and Sunday

After the Summer, 1813 Armistice, Napoleon faced the Russians, Prussians and in addition, the Austrians across the plains of Central Europe. The Coalition avoided combat with forces led by the Emperor,and focused on Napoleon's subordinates. Lead the Monarchist forces against the Ogre, or the forces of Democracy and Enlightenment to put the Royalists in their place. Your generalship will decide the issue.

Western Martial Arts Demonstration by Gallowglass Academy Saturday 1 PM

Western culture has a long tradition of martial arts. We know that the ancient Egyptians practiced wrestling, the Greeks held contests in pankration, pugilism as well as wrestling at the ancient Olympics and the Romans had their gladiatorial games.

Yet it wasn’t until the Middle Ages that we have any texts that tell us how these arts were taught. Starting in the 14th century instructors in the arts of Mars set forth their techniques in illustrated texts that we can follow to learn how they taught everything from empty hand, dagger, sword and spear techniques.

As more modern weapons came to the fore these texts were relegated to museums and historical archives. However, within the last twenty years scholars and martial artists have come together to recreate these arts.

Gallowglass Academy is a martial arts school in the Rockford, IL area that provides classes and workshops in a number of these Western martial arts. At this demonstration Allen Reed, Headmaster of the Academy, and other students of these arts will show how they were used. Visit http://www.gallowglassacademy.org/ for more information

Fighting has broken out and mercenary raiders under control of House Steiner have used a combined force of battlemechs and heavy tanks to take control of a strategic transportation hub. With their supply lines threatened, a scratch force consisting of elements of the 4th Davion Heavy Guards and the 22nd Recon Battalion is assembled to dislodge them. The deadly street to street battle promises to be up close and personal. Can you say AC-20?

See what is so special about the new #1 game on Board Game Geek ... Agricola.

In Agricola, you're a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and little else. On a turn, you get to take only two actions, one for you and one for the spouse, from all the possibilities you'll find on a farm: collecting clay, wood, or stone; building fences; and so on. You might think about having kids in order to get more work accomplished, but first you need to expand your house. And what are you going to feed all the little rugrats?

It's more exciting then you think being a farmer and trying to expand your family, house and farm without going hungry.

We will be using the advanced rules where each player gets occupation and minor improvement cards. Rules will be taught.

The German Army is fighting a withdrawal on the Eastern Front, fall of 1943. The 2nd SS PG Division is setting up a hasty defense against the Soviet 5th Tank Army. This defense is a divisional "rear" guard type action, hoping to extract more german units from soviet encirclement. The 2nd SS will have 3 Kampfgruppen which are highly mobile to square off against 3 fast moving Tank Corps, and a Motor Rifle brigade. Will the Soviets cutoff the german retreat?

October, 1956. After months of political maneuvering, England and France have launched Operation Musketeer, a series of aerial attacks on Egypt designed to pave the way for an invasion to seize control of the Suez Canal. Historically, the EAF stayed on the ground under orders from President Nasser. In this scenario, however, they take to the skies to challenge the attackers. Hunters, Venoms, Vampires and the dreaded MiG-15 tangle in the skies over the Sinai.

Today, at the 4:30 Matinee. It has been quiet in the Valley for the last few years, and several towns have sprung up in what was once wasteland. Word has reached you that the railroad is planning on running a spur line through the valley, and the future of whichever town they choose to build the station in is secure, while the others will undoubtedly wither away and disappear. Unfortunately, all of the other towns know this as well, and the race is on to secure enough gold to bribe the railroad executives. Sounds pretty straightforward, doesn’t it? But nobody has asked Gwanji what he thinks. Of course, he’s a dinosaur, so his thoughts are pretty much confined to eating and chasing things to eat. Hope you can run fast…
