Battle of Brandywine Creek – 40mm AWI Game

Brandywine Creek

This spring I will be running a number of games at both Havoc and Huzzah.  These are conventions held in Mass. and Maine in the spring.

Havoc – April 3-5 – Sutton Mass.

Huzzah – May 15-17 – Portland Maine

I plan on running a 40mm Scale AWI battle on both show’s Friday night.  My idea is to recapture the Toy soldier type games I used to run there in by gone years.  I shot a short video which I have linked below post here and have taken some pictures.  The game table isn’t quite done but I hope the video and pictures will stimulate some interest.

I will be using a combination of One Hour Wargames and the Perry Brothers “TravelBattle” for my rules.  Click on the link below to download the QRS.

Maine Wargamers Game Day – Oct 12 DDtB Game

D-Day to berlinI will be running a morning game of D-Day to Berlin for up to 8 players.  My hope is to have two players as the corps commanders and they will give orders to the division commanders along with allocating corps assets to the individual divisions and determine the division boundary lines.

Chris Parker

Here is my scenario

Operation Queen, WW II Western Front

General Bradley assured his lieutenants that Operation Queen – the 12th Army Group assault designed to scourge enemy defenses east and north of Aachen.  Just past midnight on November 16, 1944, Sherman tank and infantry battalions surged eastward toward the Roer. The entrenched enemy quickly stiffened. “Players are encouraged to download the rules and give them a read before game day.

Here is a note from the president.

Hello all,

The gaming season is now into full swing! There are many events happening in October, and even on the same day on October 12. If you are not attending Dave Valentine’s Makers Fair Game Day in Amherst, NH on the 12th, then  you need to come to the MHWA Game Day in the Cumberland Room at the Double Tree Hotel in South Portland! The MHWA Game Day is an open to the public, no cover charge event. Please spread the word and invite as many as you can to attend to play and see what the MHWA has to offer.

One of the benefits of being an MHWA member is the ability to sign up for a game in advance. Please enter your name onto the list to reserve a spot in a game. The line up is full of great games being run by excellent game masters! Navigate to the document/game sign up sheet at this LINK

Another very important task that we, the members of the Maine Historical Wargamers Association need to do on October 12 is to vote for next year’s officers. The future of the MHWA and Huzzah needs your input and efforts. Nominations for all officer positions is still open. If you would like to nominate someone, please send the nomination to this email address: president@mhwa.info  Nominations will close at Midnight, October 10 to allow names to be placed on the ballot.

See you at the MHWA Game Day on October 12,
