OK here is a bit more about the game day as it stands currently:

Games Plus Miniatures Game Day
So - what the heck is this you ask ?
Well, it's pretty much what it sounds like. A Game Day for all sorts of folks to dust off those miniatures games they haven't pulled out in a while, find some other people to play with and play some miniatures games.

What kind of miniatures games ?
Generally anything you want to play. It's aimed to get folks to pull out those less than always played games out of the closet and have some fun with them. Does that mean that we wouldn't allow current, popular games ? Not at all.

When does it start ?
May 17th at 10am the doors to the store will open and we will have a tidal wave of gamers amble in to start having fun.

How long will it go ?
8pm, 9 pm, 10pm maybe even 11pm. Basically, as long as people want to play (not really past 11pm though) we should be able to accommodate.

How much does it cost ?
Nothing. Zip, zilch, bupkucs.
If you want to donate towards prizes and/or lunch (the possibility of a 6 foot sub for everyone is in the works) then we certainly won't stop you.

How many people are showing up ?
Good question that. So far a few people have said they want to come down. We haven't really gotten a registration list together so until we get confirmation emails - it';s a good question.

When are things happening ?
Right now we are trying to put a solid schedule together for when some thing might be occurring, but other should be going on all day long.

All Day Events :
Anima Tactics Demo Games will be going on all day. No need to bring anything, Drew will have forces, terrain, etc. all set to go. We will have a table set up and as long as people want to play (with the exception of a lunch break) we will have demos.

FFG's Wings of War WWI Biplane combat game will also be going on all day. For those unfamiliar it is a easy to learn, fast playing WWI biplane combat game for almost any number of people. Rules are easy to explain in about 5 minutes, tops. The idea will be to have a game going on that folks can jump in and out of to be able to play something while waiting for other things to occur. Based on the number of flyers who want to participate either there will be a ongoing aerial melee or a series of scenarios for pilots to play in.

AT43 Bring and Battle - Ken (Bilesuck) is going to run a day long game where folks can come on in, get involved and play pretty much as long as they would like. If you want to duck out at some point, no problem. Want to join later on ? We can do that too.

'Slotted' events
Confrontation 3 -
Ruins of Akandora : (10 am, 1pm, 4pm)
Forces from many different races have heard about an artifact that is rumored to be lost within the ruins of a far away city. As expeditionary forces are sent out to recover the artifact they find out that their warband is not the only one looking.

This scenario style game can be played by 2, 3 or 4 people... either as a two or three way game or as two teams. Each player should bring a 300AP list using the restrictions given in the back of the Confrontation 3 book with a 100AP 'reinforcements' list. This extra 100AP can be made up of any troops as long as the whole list (the 300AP plus the extra 100 AP) still conform to the restrictions in the C3 book.

Further details will be given when the game starts.

Zach's game :
as of the moment Zach is working on a C3 2 player scenario.

Fields of Glory - for folks wanting to see what the new Ancient/Medieval game from Osprey looks like, Chuck Hines is planning on running a demo to introduce folks to the game in the afternoon. Time TBA.

Erin/Flintloque - Also, one of the local guys is putting together a scenario for Flintloque (Napoleonic Fantasy Skirmish game) or Erin (Celtic Myth skirmish game). Question is - anyone interested in one or the other ?

Ogre/GEV Miniatures - yes, the game from a million, zillion years ago of powersuited infantry cybernetic tanks and heavy vehicles lobbing little nukes at each other. One of the locals has a huge collection of minis and is more than willing to run a game for any takers. Combine and Pan-Europeans go at it again in the future...

Glenn Domingo's Games : (starting around 3pm)
Glenn has a trio of games he can run, depending on what folks want to do. An 'Aliens' game based off the movie of the same name pitting Colonial marines against the Alien Menace which ran at Little Wars earlier in April, a Star Trek motion picture era starship combat game and a Tron game for folks to play in. All the games can go as long or short as the crowd playing want.

and last but not least
Infinity - The will most likely be an Infinity scenario for folks to play through. Not confirmed yet, but in the works.

More details (like timing and scenario specifics) will be coming over the course of the week. If your interested in doing something or want to make sure you get to play something, PM me (or drop an email) and I'll get back to you ASAP.

A quick update.
Looks like we lost our Fields of Glory demo (someone's wife was NOT willing to let him go out and game over the course of another weekend...)

BUT one of the owners here has arranged a D&D 4 Edition demo game starting at 1 pm. So if you want to see how the system runs, here is your chance to do so !
