Cold Wars 16-18 March 2018
Cold Wars will soon be upon us. Lots of great and varied gaming in Lancaster PA.
A quick look through the event listing, I think I am the only one running Wings of Glory games. I'm running 4, 2 each WWI and WW2, plus one Battlefront W2 15mm game.
Cold Wars web page 'HERE'.
Looks like event registration opens on January 8th.
My event listings are...
F: 297: 15 Clash at Bulson, May 1940 Friday, 3:00 PM, 4 hrs, Players: 4 GM: Peter Landry Sponsor: None, Prize: MA Period: World War II, Scale: 15mm, Rules: Battlefront WW2
German armor had beaten the French to Bulson by minutes, it didn't mean they had the advantage. FCM 36s leading French infantry encountered Panzer IIs and IIIs and pushed them back. The Germans fed in more armor piecemeal to hold on. When armor and the GD infantry regiment arrived the Germans finally had enough force to attempt to retake the ridge. Will the Germans retake the ridge and protect the Sedan breakout southern flank or will the French roll into the bridgehead threatening the breakout?
F: 294: 20 The Skies Over Khalkhin Gol Friday, 8:00 PM, 3 hrs, Players: 14 GM: Peter Landry Sponsor: None, Prize: MA Period: World War II, Scale: 1/200, Rules: Wings of Glory WW2
In June 1939 the Kwantung Army executed an air strike on a Soviet air base well behind the lines without permission from IJA headquarters in Tokyo.The Japanese gained a clear victory with this surprise attack. This strike during the buildup of forces on the Manchuria-Mongolia border set the stage for the battles known as Khalkhin Gol. Fly Ki-027 Nates, Ki-27 Sallys and Ki-30 Anns vs Soviet Polikarpov I-16s and I-153s in the sky over Khalkhin Gol.
S: 295: 11 Where's the front? Saturday, 11:00 AM, 3 hrs, Players: 14 GM: Peter Landry Sponsor: None, Prize: None Period: World War I, Scale: 1/144, Rules: Wings of Glory WWI
Knowing the exact position of the front was a high priority for army HQ. With the poor communication systems available and almost non-existent doctrine to pass on this information, it fell to the Air Service to gain this information and get it to HQ. Fly with the 1st USAS Observation squadron looking for the furthest advance of the US Expeditionary Force's infantry or fly with the Deutsche Luftstreitkrafte doing their best to deny the Americans this critical information.
S: 296: 15 Operation Michael, March 1918 Saturday, 3:00 PM, 3 hrs, Players: 14 GM: Peter Landry Sponsor: None, Prize: None Period: World War I, Scale: 1/144, Rules: Wings of Glory WWI
Spring 1918 saw the large German offensive to try to win the war before the full arrival of the American Army turned the tide. Operation Michael introduced new infiltration tactics to break the stalemate of the trenches. Newly designed armored aircraft supported the advancing infantry, strafing and bombing the enemy at low level. This mission will have Germans flying AEG JII, Albatros JI, Halberstadt and Hannover ground assault aircraft while the Entente fly the best they can put up to stop them
S: 298: 19 Midway, the USN attack on the Japanese carriers Saturday, 7:00 PM, 3 hrs, Players: 14 GM: Peter Landry Sponsor: None, Prize: None Period: World War II, Scale: 1/200, Rules: Wings of Glory WW2
Admiral Spruance didn't wait to coordinate his attack force and sent it in as soon as forces got in the air. Maybe the uncoordinated attack ended up in the USN's favor as the Japanese CAP concentrated on the TBD Devastators carrying torpedoes. While the Japanese were busy down low the Dauntless' came in high from two different directions. Fly for the USN and turn the tide in the Pacific war or defend the Japanese Imperial Navy's strike force with the best veteran pilots in the Pacific sky.
