2018 Memorial Day Bash

Apparently 2017's games missed the cut. We had a good time playing Modern Spearhead and Stardust if I remember correctly.

No matter, it's a year on and another gaming get together is in order. This will be Sunday, May 27 at mi casa. I want to start the first game at noon, which should give us plenty of time for three games if you're up for it.

First up will be the Batman Miniatures Game. It may seem an odd choice, but it's a fun, light skirmish game with plenty of character. Should be a nice icebreaker.

The scenario will be "deal gone bad" with the Riddler and friends making an exchange with some pre-movie Suicide Squad members. Throw in some good guys busting up the deal and some mistrust between the two groups of crooks and you've got a messy three-sided affair.


Next up will be an ahistorical Victory at Sea - Age of Dreadnoughts battle featuring the Russian Black Sea Fleet intercepting an Austro-Hungarian convoy. Big ships. Big guns. Big entertainment. No fancy planes or radar here, this is just an old-fashioned shootin' contest.


Time and attitudes permitting, I'm prepared to throw Check Your 6: Jet Age on the table for some late 20th-century dog fighting. Not super sure of what scenario I'll put on the table, but since the other two games are ready to go, I've got a little time to get it together.

Hope to see you then!
