BATTLE OF BORODINO
The Battle of Borodino, fought on September 7, 1812, was the largest and bloodiest single-day action of the French invasion of Russia. Involving more than 250,000 troops and resulting in at least 70,000 casualties, the French Grande Armée under Emperor Napoleon I attacked the Imperial Russian Army near the village of Borodino. They eventually captured the main positions on the battlefield but failed to destroy the Russian army. Can you change history? The HMGS-Gulfsouth River Parishes chapter and Steve Wirth proudly present the Battle of Borodino in 1/72nd scale using the quick play, grand tactical rules, “Le Petit Empereur”, published by Chipco. There are openings for 2-6 players. Everything needed will be provided. Gamers 16, and under, must be accompanied by an adult.
EGBERT’S KINGDOM IN PERIL
The Danes have descended upon Wessex and the fate of the Saxon Kingdom is in the hands of King Egbert. The fyrd has been assembled but will it be enough to stop the hordes of Norsemen? This Viking vs. Saxon scenario, loosely based on history but mostly inspired by reading too many Bernard Cornwell novels, is presented by Mike Randles using 15mm figures and his own set of Dark Ages rules entitled, “Vikings Rule“. Grab your axes, strap on your shields and help decide who will be the victor in this epic struggle. Slots are available for 6-10 players.
Iwo Jima
Mar 27
For a few years now I have been thinking about how to run an Iwo Jima game. The battle lasted 36 days and is one of the most important in Marine Corps history. Over the years I’ve been collecting photos, reading books and peering at maps and satelite intelligence. Here are some photos I’ve collected. I’ll be writing up more about my research on this battle over the next few months as lead up to the lecture I am giving at Historicon this summer. Enjoy! –Pete Mancini
