Game Day East
Sunday, October 18 | Noon–4:00 p.m.
Impact Gaming Center
49 Ludwig Drive, Fairview Heights, IL 62208
Make Sunday a game day! Our monthly third-Sunday gathering features Napoleonic command decisions, a WWII adventure with a mysterious twist, and a Musketeer rescue ready to take the stage if a third table is needed.
Table One: Table One Pub Battles Gettysburg
In this game, you will lead an army through a key historical battle in the musket era. Unlike most games, you won’t have God like knowledge and control of everything. Like real generals, you will often not know what the enemy has, where they will attack from, when they will move or even when your own troops will move.

Table Two: Sgt. Rock and the Wolves of War
A Fistful of Lead scenario presented by Steffan Gluck
Easy Company has its orders: slip behind enemy lines and capture the head of a top-secret German weapons program. The intelligence is thin, the stakes are high, and the clues point toward another German wonder weapon.
With Sgt. Rock and his men already familiar with the strange and unusual, this mission could be their next brush with something very unexpected. Join the action and discover what awaits behind enemy lines!
Table Three, If Needed: 55 Days at Peking.
The siege of the legations during the Boxer Rebellion Enlarged and Enhanced version of the game by The Historical Game Company.
