Updates: If you would like to run a
game at POINTCON or bring a group of gamers to our event please let me know. We are hoping to add additional games
to our schedule and are always looking for additional players. Ambler Gamers Present:
The Battle of Lower Gynnedd, PA - 1777 Washington and the scruffy Continentals take on the the British Army
- the power and might of the British Empire. Over 1400 beautifully painted figures fight for glory by a lonely tavern on the
road to Philadelphia. Simple and fun rules. Up to 8 players. Nate Forney of the SkirmishCampaign
book fame will be running two scenarios from his upcoming book tentatively titled: "13th Guards at Kharkov,"
with a focus on the initial Soviet offensive in May 1942 and the first German counter-attacks. He will be using a rule set
he is developing with 15mm figures. A Fields of Glory (FOG) Ancients event has been added to the schedule. Critical
Hit is planning an ASL tournament at POINTCON. Please send me an e-mail if you are interested
in playing. There is room for 8 players. I will be posting the scenario details as soon as they are finalized. Vic
Gregoire will be running his game: The Battle for Kursk/Engagement at Ponyri Station July
5th, 1943, 0900 hours ("Elephant Hunting") Situation: The 9th Army's attack
on the Kursk bulge from the north jumped off on the morning of July 6th, five of the six panzer divisions available in the
north were initially in reserve, so most of the heavy lifting of breaking the front fell to the infantry divisions, usually
reinforced with army-level independant armored units. On the left side of the main effort, the German 86th Infantry Division,
reinforced with a battalion of the new Elephant tank destoryers, drove south along the rail line to Ponyri
Station, and Kursk. Waiting for them were the elements of the 81st Rifle Division, and as the battle unfolded, additional
Soviet tanks and assault guns were fed in. "Command Decision IV-Test of Battle" rules in 1/72nd scale.
No prior rule experience necessary-very player friendly game. Notes: This will be a big game players should plan
to commit from an apporximate 10:AM start time and possibly going until 5PM.
