Wrapping up September the group gathered at Game Nite for a bit of nautical fun with Sail Power 6mm Age of Sail Gaming and a couple of tables of Bolt Action for the folks who didn’t want to get their feet wet.. If you are looking for a Bolt Action game in the area. Tuesday Nights at Game Nite have what you need.
Andrew was kind enough to take notes and provide us with a view of the evening’s activities so we will turn it over to him…..
“Game one is Sail Power.”
“6mm Age of Sail/Pirates miniatures. Sail Power allows players to explore, interact and conduct business as well as fight.”
“Table Two is Bolt Action.”
“Table Three is Bolt Actin as well..”
“Pat’s small schooner goes pirate, getting itself into a crossfire between a shore battery and a small brig.”
“Meanwhile the central island is abuzz with searching crews.”
“Brits and Germans fight on Table Three.”
“Sail Power ended with Time being the Master of Finance, a pile of Victory Points accumulated through trade. Big Thanks to Time, Pat, Chris and Calvin for playing aw well as Patrick helping to put on the game.”
Thanks to Andrew for his game reports and to all the players who came out to enjoy a fun afternoon of gaming. We would also like to add our ongoing appreciation to Game Nite for their continued support.
Remember to shop local!
Big Muddy Historical Game Alliance of Greater St. Louis
Our public educational demonstrations including rules and game evaluation sessions use historical miniature and historical board gaming to explore military history, historical decision-making, and the people, places, and events of the past.
Historical Gaming in Action is a public educational program presented by the Big Muddy Historical Game Alliance of Greater St. Louis.
Using miniature figures, terrain, maps, historical research, and guided play, our games explore military history through the decisions faced by commanders, soldiers, and communities. Visitors can examine the table, ask questions, learn about the historical setting, and—when space and time permit—join the game.
Our scenarios are based on historical sources. While game rules simplify some details for practical play, each event is designed to encourage discussion of historical events, geography, leadership, logistics, strategy, and the human experience of conflict.
Historical gaming can be both enjoyable and educational. Big Muddy provides public educational demonstrations, seminars, and convention programming that promote historical miniature gaming and military history.
That Sail Power game looks nicely presented – (ships, terrain – all with good visuals)!
