    Bob and i discussed at Warbirds doing some more Eastern Front games in August. Between us we have a dozen Il-2`s that should make for some interesting gaming!

    Wife says all is good for GOA. I will have my LaGG's done way before then so that gives me 6 of them.

    No Sat night game? I have something in mind for then if we do an open game or should I set something up ? I have not run a game before so would want your help. Dinner is always at the Thai restaurant where John's wife works. They have good food and since my wife is Thai we get a little extra food. Also they have Thai beer---Singha.

    GOA is sounding better and better! It's 4 1/2 hours from me, and a month after Historicon, but I might just give it a shot. Any chance of playing some WGF there?

    I'm probably going to miss it by a couple of days Rich. I think classes start the 26th and I'm not sure of the first day the dorms will be open.

    Okay, I just registered to run a WGF game on Saturday at 2pm. It's called "Adriatic Aces" and features Caproni's trying to bomb Trieste, assisted by Macchi flying boats and an Ansaldo SVA-5, opposed by a Hansa-Brandenburg flying boat, an Aviatik D.I, and various Austro-Hungarian Albatri. Should be fun!

    Too bad I'm going to miss this. I'll be getting down sometime on Sunday. Wouldn't mind see Trieste again considering that I haven't been there since 1972.

    I just got an invitation to my nephews wedding and it's during the Guns of August Event. I just had to withdraw my reservations. I was hoping to surprise my fellow Wings of War members that host and participate in this event. Sorry guys I was looking forward to it. At least I got to see a few of you at Historicon 2015.

    Hello Gents,

    I'm a new transplant to Virginia (we moved from RI around a year ago), so this will be my first time at Guns of August. I've already preregistered and am hoping I can catch up with you all on Saturday-I'm really looking forward to it! Although I haven't seen an announcement on their website, it sounds like I might be able to catch a morning game (hosted by Richard) and an afternoon game (hosted by Bill), is that correct? Is there anything I need to do to reserve a spot at the table?

    Also, I'm just curious Richard - where in Virginia do you live? Are you near Charlottesville?

    Thanks guys!

    We look forward to seeing you! You are correct my game is at 8 am WW2 over Russia and Bills in the Saturday afternoon. GOA and the February Williamsburg Muster are low stress events no sign up sheets and always room for one more! They still have not posted an events list on the GOA web site. They are working on it! I live in Virginia Beach.

    Hi guys - thanks for the responses (and the pictures too!) Unfortunately, last night my wife cast some doubt that I'll be able to attend the event (darn it!). There's still a chance I might be able to do at least part of the day - I'll update the thread once I find out.

    Rich - I realized after I posted that your signature said it all Next time I'm in your area, I'll send you a PM - maybe we can organize a meetup. Speaking of signatures, is your picture from Rise of Flight? I'm not an active player at the moment, but I am familiar with it.

    Yessir! It's been a while..........my nemesis (the mrs) had to have major surgery 2 years ago then got diagnosed with breast cancer: they got it in time but she still had to go down the long road of radiation and chemo with all that entails. She's fine now and looking forward to the event very much

    It will be great seeing both of you! I am glad to hear she is doing better. Tell her i said stay out of the hotel bar! There is a micro brewery near the hotel, called the AleWerks Brewing Company. A favorite of flyers on both sides of the pond! My favorite is the Washington Porter!
    Should i warn everyone about Nemesis, or should they learn hard way!
