October 22nd, 750 point platoon, currently players are allowed to field a single platoon, either generic reinforced platoon or from a theater selector. The aim is to have fun and play the game. Players will pay $10 cash each day for tables and prize support. Prizes will be randomly drawn in November, as well as gift certificates for IWTS will be drawn on the day. Each player will get one ticket in the draw for each day that they attend. This week scenarios 3 and 4 were played. One of the players also ran a contest, where each player who brought a set of painted objective markers was entered to win a set of tank traps (Generously provided by the player who organized the contest)
As with our previous event day we had one player have to drop out after the first game due to work. This time our Panzergrenadier player bulked up his 750 point force to fight out a team comprised of an American Airborne and British Para platoon.
We had a solid turnout of 10 players for this week, a few players had conflicting life events and were not able to attend. Much as last time our start time of 12:00 was slightly delayed, but most players were rolling dice by around 11:30. We had six Allied and Five Axis players on the day, though once again we had two loaner armies on hand. In the end our resident Soviet player played against the Allies for both games, Operation Unthinkable clearly in full force.
Once again we managed to fit in two games, Scenario 3 in the first round and Scenario 4 in the second. We had one player drop out between rounds for work reasons and so in the second round one of our German players doubled up his force to take on two Allied players. In addition to the standard league games, one of our players organized a objectives painting contest, Each player who brought a painted set of objective markers was entered to win a set of tank traps (Generously donated by the player who set up the contest), in the end 4 players entered and it was a well appreciated effort. Once again our event day was very successful, several players who were unable to attend on the day, have expressed interest in playing "make up" games prior to the next event day.
