Huzzah! In Portland Maine, 18-20 May 2018.
Huzzah! Web site can be found ‘HERE’, event listings ‘HERE’.
This year's theme is the Great War so I'll be running 3 WGF and only 1 WGS. Games that I am putting on are listed as follows,
Saturday 9-1 The Skies above Operation Michael 21 players
The Germans had one last punch in them and gave it all they had. New ground attack planes were designed and sent out to support the advancing infantry. New armored planes protected the crew while they machine gunned and dropped cluster grenades on the enemy below. Fly for the Kaiser and support the push on the ground or with the Entente, desperately trying to keep the new machines of death away from their friends below.
Saturday 2-6 Above Guadalcanal 21 players
After the Marines took control of what would become Henderson field, the Japanese sent raid after raid by air and sea prior to and after their land forces tried to retake it.
The Cactus Air Force stoutly defended the airspace over the Marines as best they could. Wildcats P-40s and P-39s contested the sky against Zeros, Vals and Betty bombers.
Come fly in the desperate struggle for the control of Guadalcanal.
Saturday 7:30-11:30 1917, Bombers Over London 12 players
With bombs dropping continually from above the Home Defense Force was created to counter the German Zeppelin threat. As it became too costly to the Zeppelin force, bombers were sent instead. First Gothas and then the giant Zeppelin Staakens flew missions of death and terror over Britain.
Come fly in the defense of Old Blighty, your family and children, or fly for the Kaiser raining terror down on your mortal enemy.
Sunday 9-3 Infantry Contact Patrol 12 players
The scout pilots got all the glory and fame but it was the 2 seaters that did the real work in the air over the front in WWI. One of the important missions was to find where the actual front line of friendly infantry was. This information desperately needed by HQ for tactical and operational planning and so not to shell their own troops with artillery fire. Today we fly this mission on the American front. Observation planes with escort to try to hold off enemy interceptors at the end of summer, 1918.
