Hello Hello, CappyTom calling...Planning on coming 6th April and bringing some WWII stuff. Maybe we can get some Pacific fights going...Over.
Thomas
Jager & CappyTom in the same furball.
It is beginning to look like this dogfight is going to be too big to miss.
Put me down for April 6th.
I do not have my kids that weekend. I may try to make a drive & attend.
Did I see WW2???Count me in!!!
So John, how many tables did you say there were?

Just one big one, unfortunately. We should have time for multiple games, though.
If its got wings and a propeller, I'll be there!
I am in if I can get a ride...

Trying to make it. Will let you know.
The location is 926 Katherine Avenue, which is very close to Ashland High School. It's called the Dental Arts Building, shared by an orthodontist (my wife's boss, who's letting us use his downstairs break room / conference space) and two dentists. When you get there, go around to the back of the building and go down the steps. At the bottom there'll be a door; knock and we'll let you in (we'll be close enough to hear you).
See you on the 6th!
Just thought I'd give this a bump, to remind everyone of Sunday's big dogfight. Looks like we'll have WGF AND WGS going on (I'll bring a couple of big folding tables, so we can run two games simultaneously). Directions are below. Hope to see you!
I can't wait! This is my first meet up with others on this forum. I may actually get to meet some of my wingmen!
You will be really impressed when you meet us.
We all look like movie stars.
It'll be my first as well!
Hey, I wonder if we could have a forum medal struck for the occasion. Does anyone know how to go about doing that?
I don't know how but I would love to see a flying Buckeye medal!
BTW are we bringing snacks or beverages to share?
Ken, The Cowman, is the Awards Adjunct and said that he will be there if he can get a ride.
Hmmm, maybe another medal can be struck for the person who gives Ken a ride
And yes, please bring whatever beverages--alcoholic or otherwise--that you like. We'll be making popcorn (in a real theater-style machine, so you know it'll be good), but if there's any other snack you like, bring that along, too. If we're hungry for something more substantial we can order pizza.
And I'd love to hear what planes everyone will be bringing! Here are mine: 4 Albatros DVas, 4 SPAD XIIIs, 3 Halberstadt CL.IIs, 3 Bristol F.2bs. I've just ordered some SE5as and Pfalz D.IIIs, but, alas, they won't be here in time (but I'll have them for Fields of Glory in May).
That is how I envisioned you all. Flynn, Niven, Gable and even Peck; you all are amazing! I am honored to fly n your shadows!
You will be really impressed when you meet us.

Looks like I will not be attending. Had to make an appointment to see my tax service, & the only time the could get me in was Sunday or Monday. I could do Monday, so Sunday it is.I knew it was a long shot, but...
Well that is a boo! I will miss meeting you. Hopefully at Origins!

Whoops! CAN'T do Monday! Contraction-al issue.You could do Monday so you just don't want to see us?
Barring a last minute smack by Murphy, I'll be there.
Sadly no; forum medals are for convention-sized gathering. That won't keep us from having fun (and maybe planning this as a regular event :hint::hint
Besides, the social-media stuff here is just icing on the cake, as it were: speaking of which:
I'll be bringing a cake, with a surprise
A pizza run would be good, too, since dinner afterwards will be tough, timing wise for me (night-fighter patrol Monday
To answer that, all I can say is, yes

If anyone needs to reach me, my cell number is 419-496-1782. Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
I will be bringing European theater 109s, 190s, Spits, Hurricanes and the such. Also one of Luis' mats.
Thomas
Great! I hope others will bring mats as well, because that's one thing I don't have (yet).
Mats?

I will bring two of the old Wings of War mats.
Don't forget to post some pics chaps
You can always put in for a minor con GM and attendee medal.
See you on the Dark Side......
Not sure that would fly with the awards guy.

Well, we're covered for (in) mats, then. So I'll just bring planes. And beer. and cake.

A wonderful times was had by all. The skies were clear, and the action was heroic. Thanks to all, especially Von Flustercluck, for a great time. It was an honor to meet my new friends from Ashland, and to see old ones again. Looking forward to our next adventure!
No ! No !That is how I envisioned you all. Flynn, Niven, Gable and even Peck; you all are amazing! I am honored to fly n your shadows!
Not those guys.
I mean the Marx Brothers and the Three Stooges.
I was there today and we had a blast! Lots of great flying, shooting and bungling (mostly me!). I would love to do it again - soon! It was great to meet my wingmen and guys that I have been chatting with here for several years. I cannot wait for Origins!
Thanks for the game guys. Biggest dog fight I've ever been in. Nice to meet all of you and spit some lead at each other. Thanks to the Ashland Aerodrome for hosting the game and putting up with us. Definitely up for some more!
CappyTom started a fresh thread about yesterday - with pictures!
Thanks to everyone who came out! I'm looking forward to seeing you at Fields of Glory on May 3!
Thank you John for a great day of flying in miniature. Well done!
Some of the fun photos.
Thomas
It was a great time flying in Ashland. Thanks to our host for having us, and I can't wait until the next time we meet.

More pictures for the Rogues Gallery:
Here I am flying the two seater with green and white wings.
Hoping to get off of the board before I am shot down.
The observer is dead, the pilot is wounded and my plane has engine damage.
After escaping off of the edge of the board, my plane is repaired, I get a new observer, my pilot's wounds are miraculously healed and I return to the battle after siting on the sidelines for a couple of turns.
Then the BOOM Card sends my pilot and the observer to Valhalla.
